First edition, containing five poems on Islamic themes: ‘Al-Barrak’, ‘Al-Kadr’, ‘Julfikar’, ‘Iskandar Namah’ (1921), and ‘Ko-gospel-ran’.

It is difficult to piece together a cohesive picture of Aleksandr Kusikov. His romanticized self-image was one of a wild mountain-dweller, and the Circassian trappings with which he surrounded himself (he was born in 1896 in Armavir to a large Armenian family called Kusikian) were clearly evident in his poetry, his letters, and his style of dress.

Tarasenkov, p. 203; not in Kilgour.

Extremely rare Civil War edition (first London, 1883). This edition was published by ‘revisionist’ or Menshevik troops in the Ukraine, as the list of further publications (Bernstein, Kautsky, and Plekhanov, amongst others) at the end of the pamphlet indicates. The publishers also list part two of Underground Russia in this list: Очерки изъ жизни революцiонеровъ (Sketches from life, or Sketches from the lives of revolutionaries).
