beloved bosses were active members of the infamous Rosenberg
ring. I learned this much later, -- two years after my
immigration to the States. I also learned then that in my ignorance I was in a
good company with the FBI that wanted Joel Barr (a.k.a. Joe Berg) and Alfred
the late 1940s, but had no idea forty years later where these people were.
The letter was delivered to
put it on Khrushchevs desk the day he comes back from his vacation.
Unfortunately, when Khrushchev came back -- he was no longer the First Secretary
of the Central Committee.
A young, Jewish-looking man came
out of the Consulate and looked at me. -- Three people surrounded me right away,
and one of them said: Lets go. The last thing I saw was the Americans
frightened face, and then he darted back through the door. -- Another KGB
operative with Lyalya at his side caught up with us.
-- Apparently, KGB had our pictures.
Now I had a chance to --
experience mundane, daily life in the United
States. I would finally live in the country
where everything was rational, logical, economically justified, and not prone
to any ideological perversions. I would finally not feel like Gulliver in the Land
of Idiots, as I characterized my
life in the Soviet Union, and live among people thinking
and acting like me. I was dead wrong.

has been fortunate to live three lives. His first life in the former Soviet
Union was distinguished with outstanding scientific and engineering
accomplishments and tainted with continuous struggle with Soviet bureaucracy
and state-sponsored anti-Semitism. In his second life in the U.S., Eric worked
as a research scientist, independent consultant and educator, information
system development executive, and Internet consultant. In his third life as a
writer, Eric describes the Soviet epoch through the prism of his family’s and
his personal experience. He is currently writing a book about St. Petersburg,
his beautiful and maverick birthplace.
