Svetlana believed in the greatness of socialism: fairness, equality and the benevolence of so-called leaders and experts managing society’s march toward progress. Gradually, disillusion set in as historical and contemporary events exposed the true reality behind the veil of empty words.
In this memoir, she shares her experiences growing up in the communist USSR, as well the political, economic, and social differences she discovered upon immigrating to America.
The book also includes a series of articles she wrote from 2009 to 2014 for Investor’s Business Daily for its exclusive commentary series. The articles were titled “Perspectives of a Russian Immigrant” and remain relevant today.weniger sehen
