Trotsky

Trotsky wrote in his 1929 memoirs: “... a student at the Technical University, Serebrovsky, who came from a wealthy family, but at a young age had adapted well to the working class. During the reaction period he became an engineer, had withdrawn from the revolution and had been the managing director of two of the largest metal works in Petrograd during the war ... He had found out about my return from the newspapers. Now he stood in front of me and asked passionately that I and my family should be quartered in his apartment immediately. After some hesitation, we agreed. It was a huge, elegant director's apartment in which Serebrowski lived with his young wife. They didn't have children. Everything was there. In the middle of the starved, half-collapsed city we were here like in a paradise. Things changed once the conversation turned to politics. Serebrowski was a patriot; as it later turned out, he angrily hated the Bolsheviks and thought Lenin was a German agent. When he was rejected on his first words, however, he became a little more cautious. But a common life with him was impossible for us. We left the apartment of the hospitable, but strange person ... After our victory in October I brought Serebrovsky to work in the Soviet Union. Like many others, he came to the party through Soviet service. Now he is a member of the Stalin Central Committee, one of the pillars of the regime. If he was able to appear as a proletarian in 1905, it is now much easier for him to be considered a Bolshevik. "

family

Alexander Serebrowski was married to Farandsem Minajewna Knunjanz (1885–1980). The couple met at the Putilov factory in Saint Petersburg.
