Hello, I agree wholeheartedly with your observations of this group -- there is more dignity here than I have had the fortune to observe in any other group. Though I can not help you in your search, your letter reminded me of a wonderful book called ANYA by Michael Ignatieff. (spelling?) It is the story of his grandmother who was involved in the same revolutions as your Sofia and follows her from Russia to Paris, with loves, marraiges and children separated by politics. Very illuminating.
