Escape From The Soviets was written by Tatiana Tchernavin in 1933 from her hospital bed and later translated from the Russian by N. Alexander. This is a fresh account of this journey, but more importantly, an early account of what actually made it necessary; the increasing persecutions by Stalin's police state, especially as it was affecting the academic, scientific and engineering classes of the USSR from 1918-1932.

The almost unbelievable, but true story of a teen-age boy's survival and triumph over hardship in a Russian slave labor camp -- ending in a breathtaking escape -- DONBAS has proven appeal for middle- and high school students and has been taught in schools. It's a book that holds kids (and adults) to the last page and gives them a new awareness and appreciation of what they've got -- and what life might one day ask of them. It's a book that puts you in its author's tattered shoes, makes you feel his cold, hunger, and pain, his homesickness and determination to live, and ask yourself: Would I survive?? “Riveting suspense . . . Once started I could not stop, once done could not forget it. Ever.” ~ The Berkshire Eagle “Simply written, direct and extraordinarily moving . . . an unassuming statement of deep affirmation.” ~ The New York Times Book Review “Excellent portrayal of a youth's indomitable spirit and will to survive.” ~ Library Journal

"I tell my own story because I believe that only in this way can I discharge the moral obligation which a kindly Fate imposed upon me in helping me to escape from the Soviet Terror the duty to speak for those whose voices cannot be heard.In silence they are sent away as convicts to the concentration camps; in silence they suffer torture and go to meet their death from Soviet bullets.Nothing is invented in this book and I stand back of every statement I have made. In a few instances to protect others I have been compelled to conceal the identity of certain people, but I have indicated that fact in each specific case. All those whom I describe are real persons and everything is true to the minutest detail.This is a narrative of what befell a Russian scientist under the Soviet regime. More than that, it is the story of many, if not most, people of education in the U.S.S.R. today.As you read, please remember that I speak of myself only because it enables me to tell the story of others. Remember, also, that, in the Soviet Union, innocent people are still being tried for "wrecking" and that intelligent men are still being forced by torture to "confess" to crimes which they never committed.Remember, too, that thousands of Russian men and women of education are still languishing in the filthy cells of the GPU prisons and in the cold barracks of the concentration camps, poorly clad and starving, breaking with exhaustion under the hardships of inhuman slavery."Vladimir V. TchernavinVladimir Vyacheslavovich Tchernavin (alternative transliteration: Chernavin) (1887-1949) was a Russian-born ichthyologist who became famous as one of the first and few prisoners of the Soviet Gulag system who managed to escape abroad.

RESCUE MISSION MOSCOW Imagine this scenario: you're an American who's been thrust into the heart of the Soviet Union during the Cold War where the KGB controls everything. International travel is closed except to an elite few and there is practically no way of contacting home—even short-wave radio is jammed. Food is scarce and material possessions are almost nonexistent. Such was the case for young scientist, Robert Hoffman. There were almost no supplies, poor and broken-down equipment and manuals he could hardly understand. Despite all of these disadvantages, he found solace with the scientists in Moscow and found a band of men and women who could have competed with the best in the world. The brightest young star of the Moscow scientific community was a young man named Alex Varshavsky, who had dreamed for many years of escaping the prison that was the Soviet Union. After befriending Alex, Hoffman vowed to get him out of the country. But, was he smart enough to concoct an escape plan that could be hidden from the KGB? Maybe—but for how long?

This WWII memoir tells the remarkable story of a Ukrainian girl’s perilous adventures and coming of age amid the chaos of war. Born in Kiev to a Catholic mother and a Jewish father, Sophia Williams chose to be identified as Jewish when she became eligible for a Soviet passport at age sixteen. She had no way of realizing the life-changing consequences of her decision. When Germany invaded Russia the following year, Sophia left Kiev and embarked on daring journey into Russia—surviving floods, dodging fires and bombs, and falling in love. After reaching Stalingrad, Sophia found herself stranded in a Nazi-occupied town. She was safely employed by a sympathetic German officer until a local girl recognized her as a Jew. Within days, Sophia’s boss spirited her to safety with his family in Poland. Soon, though, Sophia was on the run again, this time to Nazi Germany, where she somehow escaped detection through the rest of the war. Her story of survival continues into the postwar years, through starting a family and business with a German soldier. But when her marriage deteriorated, even divorce was not enough to keep her vindictive and violent husband away. Throughout this difficult life, Sophia maintained the grit, charm, and optimism that saved her time and again as she made her “escape into danger.”
