Alexander Halpern

He joined an irregular freemasonic lodge; the Grand Orient of the Russian Peoples; upon the recommendation of Alexander Kerensky and Bruno Germanovič Lopatin-Bart.

He married Salomea Andronikova; for a long time the couple lived separately, Halpern in London, and his wife in Paris.

While there he maintained contact with old Mensheviks such as Boris Nicolaevsky, Irakli Tsereteli, Raphael Abramovitch and others, who collaborated in The Socialist Herald.

One of the rooms in the Halpern house was handed over to Anna Kallin (1896-1984), a mistress of Oskar Kokoschka who worked for the British Broadcasting Corporation as a producer.

While in London, Halpern was well acquainted with personalities such as Isaiah Berlin, Moura Budberg, Anthony Blunt and Zinovy Peshkov.
