Faraway Days: Translated from the Russian

Faraway Days, penned by Mintslov in 1918, is an autobiography recounting a mischievous childhood and early adulthood. This insight into life on the country estates of the Russian nobility as well as the evolution of a young officer in the military academy in Nizhniy Novgorod and then Moscow is unlike any story previously told. The original book was translated from Russian into English by his great cousin Igor Borisovich Labzin whose paternal grandmother was Mintslov's cousin and who was a frequent visitor to their country estate.
