Back in the USSA - Dragunsky, Boris

. .

Résumé :
Back in the USSA is a remarkable non-fiction hybrid that, in so many ways, defies classification. Seen through the eyes of expatriate author, Boris Dragunsky, it is a work in three stages. In part a Russian Jewish family saga that begins inside Stalin's Soviet Union during World War II, it introduces us to some remarkable historical insights, including a portrait of Boris's uncle, Soviet Colonel General David Dragunsky (Twice Hero of the Soviet Union), and how the family dealt with a political world gone mad. This book also tells the story of a patriotic son of Russia [Boris] who eventually became a fierce opponent of the system, determined to slip the Communist yoke and its systemic oppression of people, in particular Jews. ... And, at age 39, he managed to do just that. In Part Three of this exceptional story, we see how Boris finally arrives in the America he loves where he soon rediscovers his Jewish roots and fulfills all his dreams in the bargain-only to behold the Democracy he cherishes start to come unraveled at the seams. Closing with a spate of passionate posts and articles that come from a cogent conservative point of view, Boris takes on the agents of chaos that he sees coming from the Radical Left, even as he offers solutions to save the USA...before it becomes the USSA and the politically perilous mindset that he left behind.

Biographie:
it is a bridge between two worlds and two eras woven with courage, longing, and an unflinching love for truth. From the haunting shadows of Stalin's Soviet Union to the bright promise of the American dream, Dragunsky leads us through history with both the precision of a witness and the heart of a survivor. His recollections are steeped in a rich family legacy, most notably his uncle, Soviet Colonel General David Dragunsky a towering figure of loyalty, duty, and complexity.But what makes this book so gripping is not just the history it's the humanity. You feel the young Boris's yearning to be free. You feel his quiet rebellion against a system that sought to define him, cage him, and erase parts of who he was. And you feel the triumph when, at 39, he finally breaks free, stepping onto American soil with both hope in his heart and fire in his convictions.Yet, Dragunsky does not stop at celebration. In the third act of his journey, he turns his clear-eyed gaze toward his adopted homeland, a country he loves deeply but now sees trembling under ideological storms.

His posts and notes read not as political rants, but as love letters to a nation he fears could lose its soul.For readers who appreciate memoirs that are more than personal storytelling for those who want to feel history, taste the grit of human endurance, and wrestle with the questions that define freedom Back in the USSA is an essential read.Boris Dragunsky doesn't just tell his story.
