Book Description
Thierno H Diallo has a Master's degree in Agronomy from the State Agriculture Institute of Kishinev, Moldavia - Former Soviet Union. After working for three years on crops and dairy farms in Normandy, France, he moved to the US. He is now a Senior Corn Research Specialist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Owner of Gamou Organic Farms and Director of the Nana Foundation. In this first book, he takes the reader through his incredible six-year-journey to the former Soviet Union at the height of the cold war. While facing blatant racism (hence the title) food shortages and high crimes, he witnessed the rise and fall of Mr Gorbachev and his perestroika, the tumbling down of the Berlin wall and the demise of the Soviet Union itself. He meticulously narrates how tens of thousands of foreign students survived in USSR and made it out of there alive; or not. How those students and diplomats engaged in trafficking of goods and artifacts between the padlocked police state and the outside world. A must read for those interested in history, politics , those who barely heard about the cold war or Socialism, and those who thought they knew all about Communism and the "evil empire".
