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. Persons appearing more or less briefly in the memoirs include Vladimir Nemirovich-Danchenko, Konstantin Stanislavskii-Alekseev, Sergei Diagilev, Savva Morozov, Mstislav Dobuzhinskii, and Ol'ga Knipper. However, the memoirs are chiefly personal in nature, and provide relatively little information on Pavlova's theatrical career or the Khudozhestvennyi Teatr in particular. A sizeable part concerns the period of the Civil War and its immediate aftermath (1918-22) in the Ukraine and the Crimea.
