Opis

Based on the original publication One Life on Two Continents, by Dr. Yurii Ezepchuk, this book-translated from Russian to English by Lance Alred-tells Dr. Ezepchuk's story. Half-Polish and half-Russian, he grew up in a small Siberian town during Stalin's reign. When World War II reached the Soviet Union, average Russian citizens had to protect themselves from not only the Nazis but also their own police, who were killing millions to create the world's first socialist state. Dr. Ezepchuk managed to survive that dark period and graduated from the most prestigious university in the Soviet Union, which resulted in him finding himself among the top scientists of the Cold War, working on weapons of mass destruction. He eventually came to the United States, where he began to work on humanitarian science projects. This book acts as an eyewitness retrospective view of the socioeconomic experiment that shaped Russia for nearly seventy-five years. A scientific specialist for the military, Dr. Ezepchuk takes an analytical approach to understanding the negative aspects of the totalitarian regime. As is the case with most historical accounts, there are two sides to every story, and this one is no exception.
