About this listen

This audiobook lay almost half a century at the bottom of an old computer before it was published. At the time, it was considered politically 'inappropriate' because it was too 'anti-Russian.' It was written in America by two political émigrés, refugees from the communist part of the world, who knew Russia as it really is and always has been, even during World War II, when it pretended to be a faithful ally of the United States.

American pilots, crew members of a B 29 bomber, are hit by anti-aircraft fire during a reconnaissance flight over Japan. They make an emergency landing in USSR territory. It would seem that they are safe on the lands of an ally, but the reality turned out to be frighteningly different.

Although this audiobook is historical fiction and its characters are invented, they are woven into real historical events related to the Manhattan Project infiltrated from within by Soviet spies. During Gorbachev's 'thaw,' Stalin was forgotten, and Russia was to be 'an example and model of democracy' from then on. Even then, this audiobook was supposed to be a warning; now it is almost a wake-up call. Today's Russia, waging a criminal, aggressive war against Ukraine, Russia of Vladimir Putin, with its troll farms, armed green men, murdering disobedient citizens in labor camps, poses an even greater threat to the entire free world.
