Boris Sokoloff
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Boris Sokoloff (1889–1979[1]) was a Russian and later French politician, medical doctor, soldier, cancer researcher, and author.
After graduating from the University of St. Petersburg, Sokoloff helped draft the All-Russian Constitution that governed the Russian Constituent Assembly, the legislative body that would ultimately be overthrown by the All-Russian Central Executive Committee led by Lenin.[2][better source needed] He was sentenced to death, but survived and escaped from Russia.[3] In 1956, Sokoloff published The White Nights: Pages From a Russian Doctor's Notebook, a memoir of his participation in the failed effort to stop the rise of the Bolsheviks in Russia.[4]
