George Grebenstchikoff (1883-1964) immigrated to the United States after World War I, to escape the post-1917 revolutionary regime in Russia. Grebenstchikoff had been an officer in the Tzar's army. His first published works appeared while still in Russia. After his arrival in the United States, Grebenstchikoff continued to publish his works both in Russian and English. He also taught the Russian language and literature at various American universities, spending the majority of his teaching career at the University of South Florida. The community formed around Churaevka, a retreat for artists that the Grebenstchikoff's founded and built in Connecticut in the 1930's became a center of cultural activities of a number of Russian émigré and other artists. Tatiana Grebenstchikoff (1896-1964) was an artist, producing - among others - rare books in her shop in Florida.
