Greetings Comrades! Join the Journey! with A.M. Schaeffer and her crew of unique and quirky characters straight from the annals of Russian and Soviet literary traditions. In this new collection of short stories, meet three wise men who consider the secret of life and contemplate the true nature of God. Journey with inspired Warrior-Translator Maxim Maximovich as he strives to make a lasting difference amid the horrors of World War II. Finally, join the adventures of Mastermind of Ball Bearing Destiny, Pavel 'Pavlik' Morozov, a dedicated worker in the Garden of Soviet World Domination. A. M. Schaeffer is a former Cold Warrior-Translator who learned Russian so you didn't have to. Currently laboring as a builder of displays for a supplier of bourgeois consumer items of dubious eternal value, she is living out her version of the American Dream in a sunny corner of Southwest Florida.
