Biography
E. S. Isaenko was born Evgeniia Pechatkina in Askhabad on 16 December 1899, the daughter of General Sergei Pechatkin. Living
in Harbin following the Revolution, she was among the first Russian students to depart for the United States in the early
1920s, where she continued her education at Pomona College. For personal reasons, she left college and went to San Francisco,
making her living performing menial labor as a packer in a factory, dishwasher, seamstress, etc. Meanwhile, she devoted her
free time to Russian social life, actively participating in musical, theatrical and literary presentations. She directed and
acted in plays, and wrote articles, reviews, short stories and two books, Perekati-Pole (published in 1953) and Petr Ivanovich
(1961).
Though she married Aleksei Leonidovich Isaenko and assumed his last name, she continued to publish under her maiden name.
Her husband was also active in the San Francisco Russian community as librarian of the Russian Club and Russian Center. He
was born in Orenburg in 1894, the son of Major General Leonid Isaenko. Receiving a degree in law from Moscow University in
1917, he joined the White Army in Siberia during the Civil War. He arrived in America in 1923, and met Evgeniia Sergeevna
through their common interest in theatrical and social activities. He died in 1957; Evgeniia Sergeevna Isaenko died in Burlingame,
California, in July 1969.

Scope and Content Note
This collection contains the papers of Evgeniia Sergeevna Isaenko, an émigré writer and poet, author of the novel
Perekati-Pole, published, as were many of her works, under her maiden name Evgeniia Pechatkina (she appears also to have published under
the initials E. P., as well as under the pseudonyms E. Sergeeva and Maksim Davydov). Isaenko was an active figure in the Russian
émigré community, staging plays and taking part in other social events, particularly those related to the Russian Center.
The collection also contains biographical materials relating to and correspondence of her husband, Aleksei Leonidovich Isaenko,
a former army officer and director of the Russian Center library.
Detailed processing and preservation microfilming of 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 the Museum of Russian Culture. The grant
also provides depositing a microfilm copy in the Hoover Institution Archives. The original materials remain at the Museum
of Russian Culture, San Francisco, as its property. A transfer table of corresponding box and reel numbers is available at
the Hoover Institution Archives.
