| | Victor Serge: Alexis Tolstoy (1945) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10) |
 | | It was in ’23, in Berlin, Tauentzienstrasse, an airy business section, with pretty, green turf growing between the rails of the streetcar track: I saw our handsome Serge Zorin of the dark days in Petrograd coming along the sidewalk, tall, fair-haired, with the air of a Viking. |
 | | With him a stocky gentleman with a massive head and heavy chin, not a soldier, but a reflective bourgeois, with, I believe, little brown crossed eyes, behind a pince-nez which was askew: Alexis Tolstoy. |
 | | When I became too compromised our relations naturally became less frequent. |
