Abstract

This chapter discusses the ways in which family members could mitigate the punishment of exile, by sending money and other material support or simply by maintaining correspondence with those convicted. It demonstrates that many family members chose to accompany their kin into exile. Families in exile could help the revolutionary survive by taking on household chores, finding employment and above all providing emotional support. Many revolutionaries married en route to exile in order to share the trials of exile with another. Children could be a comfort to those in exile, though keeping them safe in the harsh climate and poor living conditions of Siberia was difficult. And, just as children could help disguise underground activities, they could also make it easier for exiles to escape.

May 10. How wearying it is to wait! Will they bring me something from Ust-Iansk? And what will it be? How many times a day do I climb to my roof and yearningly look south at the row of guideposts disappearing in the distance. A motionless, dead waste. […] The works of Plato or Soloviev, the books geology and botany refuse to stay in my hands. Even my favourite and tested treatment for loneliness, the study of foreign languages, is of no avail. I am sick of the self-taught method. Is there any mail for me? God!

Vladimir Zenzinov (Vladimir Zenzinov , with Isaac Don Levine, The Road to Oblivion (New York: Robert M. McBride & Company, 1933), p. 87)
