About the Shah of Persia in OdessaShah Mohammed Ali arrived in Odessa on September 10, 1909, fleeing the Persian revolution. He was given a two-story Gothic palace of Brzhozovsky on Gogol Street with 40 rooms to live in; the rent was 12,000 rubles per year and was not paid by him personally. The legend of the “shah’s harem in Odessa” is not confirmed by the press of the time: the media covered his life in detail, but did not write about the harem. In 1911, he secretly left, trying to regain the throne, and was defeated. There are references that in 1912 he was briefly returned to Odessa, but in 1913 the former ruler was no longer in the city, which contradicts later claims that he left only in 1920. Sources (not Wikipedia) are needed regarding his further movements after 1913.
