Description
Book SynopsisThis outstanding book details the riveting and tireless efforts to regain freedom in Russia. There are many reasons both individually and together, for the fall of the Soviet Union including United States foreign policy, political implosion, impact of religious belief, and simply the overt decision to change systems by the Gorbachev regime. The Soviet Union can fairly have been called a monster state since it murdered its own people, tried to snuff out religion and relegated those it didn''t kill or exile to live lives of heavy toil with little chance of living normal existences. During the building and developing of the Soviet Union and its mass exterminations, there were many courageous fighters for its freedom, both inside and outside. This book traces the activities of the White Army, its leaders and their destinies. It also reveals many unknown facets of the Vlasov army and its leaders. The story is told through the eyes and life of Paul Butkoff, who lived through the Soviet Union''s existence and labored to do his part in keeping the flame of freedom aglow even during the gloomy days when liberals in the West jumped on the bandwagon of the Soviet Union.
