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.
