The Russian Socialist Revolutionary Lydia Petrovna Kotchetkova and the Swiss Anarchist Fritz Brupbacher were a medical couple ardently in love for many years, until the cultural differences and finally the outbreak World War I led them into the final separation. They both dreamed of a better world. In August 1907 they spent a few days on the Monte Verità among the group of the "Naturheiligenapostel" Oedenkoven, how Brupbacher called the founder of the movement.
