The photo was taken the year before Sorokin was exiled from Russia. His wife left to join him in the United States in 1924.

Such a handsome young man. Sorokin was age twenty-eight at the time. In his face and expression, one can see the earnestness and idealism that would manifest itself in his life and writings.

Kerensky, Sorokin meet in Boston – Christian Sci Monitor 3-9-1938
This photo appeared in The Christian Science Monitor (published in Boston, Massachusetts) in the following article:
“Kerensky Sees Fall of Soviet Dictatorship: Colleagues of Revolution Meet in Boston
The Christian Science Monitor
March 9, 1938
pg. 10
On the evening of March 9, the day the article appeared, Kerensky spoke at the Ford Hall Forum in Boston. His lecture was entitled “On Behalf of Democracy.”
In the conclusion of the article, it is stated: “The last meeting between Mr. Kerensky and his secretary [Sorokin] occurred nearly 18 years ago in Berlin. This was four years after Mr. Kerensky’s escape and already the Soviet Regime was sending its roots into Russian soil. Yet like his former superior, Sorokin believes the Soviet Union some day will collapse.”
