Page "Lev Nussimbaum" Paragraph 5

In 1918, Lev and his father fled Baku because of the massacres that were taking place in the streets.

According to Essad Bey's first book, " Blood and Oil in the Orient ," which historians do not consider to be very reliable, the two travelled through Turkestan and Persia.

However, of this adventurous journey there is no record except in Nussimbaum's own writings.

Nussimbaum and his father returned to Baku but when the Bolsheviks took Baku in the spring of 1920, they fled to Georgia where they stayed until the Bolsheviks took Tiflis and Batumi.
