Russian Civil War and move to Berlin (1917–1923\)
-------------------------------------------------

Following the [Russian Revolution](/wiki/Russian_Revolution "Russian Revolution") the Kadet party was suppressed and Milyukov fled Russia. Warsher's second husband was executed by the [Bolsheviks](/wiki/Bolsheviks "Bolsheviks") in 1917 for supporting the [White Movement](/wiki/White_movement "White movement"). Warsher herself fled north for the duration of the [Russian Civil War](/wiki/Russian_Civil_War "Russian Civil War") (1917–1922\). She taught at girls schools in Riga and [Dorpat](/wiki/Dorpat "Dorpat")—now independent from Russia as part of [Latvia](/wiki/Latvia "Latvia") and [Estonia](/wiki/Estonia "Estonia") respectively—and [Archangelsk](/wiki/Arkhangelsk "Arkhangelsk"), which was controlled by the Whites until 1920\. She also worked in the editorial offices of *Segodnya* (), a Russian\-language newspaper in Riga, and was a correspondent for the Berlin\-based *Rul* () and Parisian *[Posledniye Novosti](/wiki/Posledniye_Novosti "Posledniye Novosti")*. In 1923 she published her memoirs of the revolution and war years as a book.

With the Bolshevik victory in the Civil War, Warsher finally left Russia permanently. She gave a farewell public lecture in Riga, on the excavations at Pompeii, before leaving for Berlin in February 1922\. There she studied at the [University of Berlin](/wiki/Humboldt_University_of_Berlin "Humboldt University of Berlin") under Franz Noack and Gerhart Rodenwalt, two noted scholars of Pompeii. In 1923, she met with Mikhail Rostovtzeff, her former teacher in Saint Petersburg and now fellow [white émigré](/wiki/White_%C3%A9migr%C3%A9 "White émigré"), in Paris. Rostovtzeff encouraged her to move to Italy to pursue her interest in Pompeii. He arranged for her to work with the [German Archaeological Institute](/wiki/German_Archaeological_Institute "German Archaeological Institute") and the [American Academy](/wiki/American_Academy_in_Rome "American Academy in Rome") in Rome, and also introduced her to the lead excavator of Pompeii, .
