In the Web of History by Olga Gladky Verro, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

In the Web of History is an engaging odyssey of a family-one of millions- caught in the whirlwind of catastrophic historical events and wars sweeping across 20th century Russia and the Soviet Union. It brings to life the not-so-distant past-it documents how history, the Russian revolution, the Communist Party, the Bolsheviks' totalitarian dictatorial regime, and Stalin's bloody terror influenced and shaped the family's fate. It is a rich source for memoir readers who value an authentic voice of real people sharing their thoughts, aspirations, and struggles to overcome adversities in their lives. It is a storehouse for inquisitive readers who choose to immerse themselves in the world of historical memoirs to discover details of daily life, customs and traditions that have been lost with time and vanished from the memory of new generations. And there is a rare bonus for history lovers, history buffs, and historians- the unique insight of Nikita Khrushchev's teacher into his politically formative years as a communist politician and a rising Party Leader. In the Web of History is a treasure of up-close, intensely personal accounts of Russian and Soviet Union history as lived, documented, and remembered in detail by the Gladky family-whose name is Legion. The saga of the Gladky family-of the new intelligentsia-who, from the Russian Revolution, the savage bitterness of Civil War, the Bolshevik dictatorship, and Stalin's persecutions, became pawns of history. | In the Web of History by Olga Gladky Verro, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
