The typescript memoirs "Vospominaniia: Zhizn' i rabota v Khudozhestvennom Teatre" discuss her childhood, education, theatrical career, personal life, the 1917 Revolution and the Civil War, and the emigration in Germany in the 1920s.

A sizeable part concerns the period of the Civil War and its immediate aftermath (1918-22) in the Ukraine and the Crimea.
