Lecture subject/s
Two memoirs published in the USA. Dancing on Thin Ice published in August 2018, is about a journalist who knew too many Soviet spies working as foreign correspondents but dared to turn into anti-Soviet human rights activist, attended anti-Semitic trials and gathered information on the persecution of Evangelicals. As I was Burying Comrade Stalin explains how and why a child, in my case, a Jewish child, becomes secular, brainwashed, and only at 19 begins questioning the possibility of building a communist paradise on this planet.
