According to the text, it is obvious that the author's father ............................... .

My father was born in Russia. He commanded an army unit in 1916, and was imprisoned by the Bolsheviks . He fled to Paris and later to New York and came to London in 1937. I have written down his memoirs from tapes which describe his life, but for this to be enough for a book, I need to visit the Moscow streets where he spent his childhood, follow his path during the Revolution, and see where he lived in Paris and New York. Everybody has to learn his lifestyle and his ambition that I've always appreciated . Getting some financial support seems inevitable for me to live on while I'm writing the book.
