In 1940, while living in poverty in Marseilles, he completed his work on The Unknown Revolution, a history of the Russian Revolution.[1] After the invasion of France by Nazi Germany and the creation of the French State, he was forced to hide because of his Jewish heritage and his anarchist political beliefs. However by the time the liberation of France allowed him to return to Paris, he had got sick with tuberculosis. On 18 September 1945, Volin died in a Parisian hospital.[1]
