Academica Press, LLC, 2019. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. Alexander´s book, now in English, was smuggled out of Moscow and circulated underground before the fall of the Soviet Union. Although not an intellectual, he contributes to the literature with his portrayal of provincial life and the many other people trapped in the oppressive regime with him, some of whom are memorialized in the many pictures in the book. Alexander spent his childhood in Ukraine, specifically Krivoy Rog, and later studied at the Merchant Marine Academy in Astrakhan. When Czechoslovakia was invaded in 1968, Alexander and his younger brother, Mikhail, fled the draft. When caught they languished for some time in psychiatric confinement. Later, in July, 1974, the brothers and friends attempted to defect to Finland. Since Finland and the Soviet Union had an agreement to return defectors, success was definitely a long shot. Faking mental illness, the brothers began a number of prison stays-Moscow, Leningrad, and Ukraine-finally landing in the maximum-security Dniproptrovsk Special Psychiatric Hospital. After the exposure of the hospital´s brutal conditions and treatment, they began a round of serial transfers through psychiatric hospitals. Finally, released after four years, Alexander was re-arrested for participating in an independent peace movement. Pronounced sane, he was sent to a series of labor camps until his release in 1986, after a petition by the International Physicians Against Nuclear War. In 1988, his brother died after years of abuse. Alexander went on to settle in New York, began a long-distance trucking company, raised a family, and traveled the world. Thirty-six years later (2010), he happened on a website for Russian border guards, and read the entry from Paanayayarvin Outpost No. 15 for him and his brothers´ failed defection to Finland. Now he divides his time between Danforth, Maine and West Palm Beach, Florida. (2019 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR).
