Event description:
The Black Russian is the biography of Frederick Bruce Thomas, the remarkable son of former slaves in Mississippi who, against all odds, became a multimillionaire entrepreneur in tsarist Moscow and the “Sultan of Jazz” in Constantinople. Although Thomas was famous during his lifetime (1872-1928), he was forgotten for some eighty years until Vladimir Alexandrov’s biography, which is based on research in archives and libraries in five countries, brought him back to the public memory.
