- Notes // Примечания: “The body of an unknown Russian recently picked up in a Settlement street was found to be that of S. Sarafanov, once a wealthy textile manufacturer and property owner of Moscow. The cause of his death was unknown. Following the Soviet revolution and the confiscation of his property, Sarafanov went to Siberia where he remained until 1932, when he crossed the border and finally came to Shanghai. He first opened a photography studio, but when it failed he became a waiter in Russian restaurants in the French Concession, his latest job being at the Arcadia. However, his health failed and he was compelled to give up the job of waiter. So far as it is known he had no relatives here.”
