Mikhail Raslovlev
Michail Sergeevič Raslovlev (born August 22, 1892 in Vladivostok , Russian Empire ; died April 21, 1987 in Créteil , France ), was a Russian publicist who emigrated to France.
Life
Michail Raslovlev came from a Russian noble family. He attended the cadet school in St. Petersburg and studied from 1911 to 1914 at the Freiberg Mining Academy . During the First World War he was a soldier in the Black Sea Fleet and took part in the civil war in Sevastopol on the anti-Bolshevik side. In 1920 he had to flee to Constantinople . From 1921 to 1923 he was a journalist in the Balkans and then lived his life as a journalist, literary critic, translator and writer in France.
Raslovlev was a monarchist . He secretly traveled to the Soviet Union in 1935 to meet Marshal Mikhail Nikolayevich Tukhachevsky .
Raslovlev described himself as a fanatical anti-Semite. During his stay in Constantinople in 1921, the British journalist Philip Graves received his copy of Maurice Joly's book Dialogue aux Enfers entre Montesquieu et Machiavel (1865) from him. Graves used it for an article in The Times , exposing the plagiarism of the anti-Semitic Protocols of the Elders of Zion, which has been circulating since the turn of the century . That Graves had received Joly's book from Raslovlev was not revealed until 1977.
The Brotherton Library at the University of Leeds maintains a collection of Mikhail Raslovlev Papers .
