Shcherbacheva's typescript memoirs (48 p.) discuss her experiences from the end of 1917 to the beginning of 1919. In January 1918 she tried to reach her husband in Jassy, but was unable to get through. She then went to Odessa, Novorossiĭsk, and finally to the Kabardian region of the Northern Caucasus. She remained there until general Shkuro's White Army captured Nalćhik, where she was living, in January 1919. She then joined her husband in Paris, where he was acting as a representative for the Whites. Also included is a copy of a poem by her son, Aleksandr, and a clipping about his death in the Soviet Union, around 1957.
