Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky
In 1920, Prokudin-Gorsky remarried and had a daughter with his assistant Maria Fedorovna née Schedrimo. The family finally settled in Paris in 1922, reuniting with his first wife and children. Prokudin-Gorsky set up a photo studio there together with his three adult children, naming it after his fourth child, Elka. In the 1930s, the elderly Prokudin-Gorsky continued with lectures showing his photographs of Russia to young Russians in France, but stopped commercial work and left the studio to his children, who named it Gorsky Frères. He died in Paris on September 27, 1944, a month after the Liberation of Paris. He is buried in the Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois Russian Cemetery.
Sergei Prokopovich
In 1917 Prokopovich and Kuskova welcomed the February Revolution and re-joined the Menshevik Social-Democratic party. Prokopovich held several ministerial portfolios in the Alexander Kerensky government. He was an active member of the irregular freemasonic lodge, the Grand Orient of Russia’s Peoples. He opposed the October Revolution and briefly tried to lead an anti-Bolshevik government in Moscow. This was quickly dispersed. In 1921, Prokopovich devoted himself to famine relief. The contacts to American and Western European aid agencies he forged in this capacity were later held against him, and in 1922 he was expelled from the Soviet Union. In exile he published the journals, including "Ekonomicheskii sbornik" (Economic Review) and "Russkii ekonomicheskii sbornik" (Russian Economic Review). In 1939, as the Second World War broke out, Prokopovich and Kuskova moved to Switzerland, where he died in Geneve in 1955.
