Dancing Dandy. The facts are that his family was connected with the Polish nobility, and his father was a well-to-do pharmacist in Baku. Andrei Yanuarevich, as he was called, was a spoiled young dandy who liked to dance, dress well, and take full advantage of his middle-class social position. He wanted to be a lawyer, but at Kiev University in those turbulent years at the turn of the century, a student had to make a political choice, or forego ambition.

The ultimate issue was peace v. eventual war. The immediate struggle was for control of the soapbox-for that, the Russians had demonstrated, was how they thought of U.N.
