Biographical Note
IU. V. Kruzenshtern was born in Russia on June 19, 1903. Her father, a military officer, was transferred to Harbin when she
was three years old, and in her memoirs she describes her life in this city. After her father volunteered for service at the
front in 1915 (where he was killed), she and her mother moved to Vladikavkaz.
Following the Revolution, Kruzenshtern returned to Harbin, where she worked as a correspondent for various Russian periodicals.
In 1930, she moved to Shanghai, continuing to work as a journalist for
Shankhaiskaia zaria and
The North China Daily News. There she married the poet Nikolai Peterets, who died young of tuberculosis.
Evacuating to Brazil following the Communist takeover in China, in 1960 she arrived in the United States, where she found
employment as a commentator for the Voice of America. Following her retirement, she continued to work as a journalist for
Russian newspapers, and even edited the San Francisco daily
Russkaia zhizn'. A book of short stories,
Ulybka psishi, was published in 1969. Kruzenshtern-Peterets died on June 8, 1983.
Scope and Content Note
Iustina V. Kruzenshtern-Peterets (1903-1983) was a poet, writer, and journalist in China and the United States. She wrote
for a number of émigré publications, among them
Gun-Bao in Harbin and
Vecherniaia zaria in Shanghai, and
Novoe russkoe slovo and
Russkaia zhizn' in the United States, and also worked as a commentator for Radio Liberty (the collection contains transcripts she worked
on; see SPEECHES AND WRITINGS/General/Transcripts). Of particular interest is her correspondence with well-known émigré writers
and poets, and her untitled memoirs of life in Harbin and Shanghai (SPEECHES AND WRITINGS/Untitled memoirs and "V krasnom
Shankhae,"
Russkaia zhizn', 1961). The collection later passed through the hands of Mariia Tourkoff (Vizi), and includes explanatory notes in her hand,
as well as photographs and certain additional material in the subject file.
Detailed processing and preservation microfilming for these materials were made possible by a generous grant from the National
Endowment for the Humanities and by matching funds from the Hoover Institution and Museum of Russian Culture. The grant also
provides depositing a microfilm copy in the Hoover Institution Archives. The original materials remain in the Museum of Russian
Culture, San Francisco as its property. A transfer table indicating corresponding box and reel numbers is available at the
Hoover Institution Archives.
