The twentieth century has witnessed three great waves of Russian immigration to the United States. The first wave followed the Russian Revolution of 1917. Joseph Stalin's tyrannical rule was the cause of the second wave during the late 1940s and early 1950s. And then the third wave came, beginning with the age of glastnost and perestroika in the mid-1980s, and continuing to this day. This book is a fascinating collection of personal stories told by those who are part of this third wave.
