This story is based on the life of author Yuri Feynberg, who is one of the last surviving children of the Soviet Penal System, known to the world as the GULAG. Although not a prisoner, Yuri spent his childhood behind the barbed wired fence in a remote Siberian hard labor camp, where his mother worked as a medical doctor. As the only child there, he lived among Stalins political prisoners, hardcore criminals, and security guards. This extraordinary childhood created an unusual personality and an unbendable character, which made it possible for Yuri to excel in the Soviet Special Forces, survive prosecution, and overcome unfathomable personal tragedies without losing his humanity.

The book might be interesting, but because of the totally unnessesary background music, always present, it's hard to concentrate on what the reader says. And concentrate, you very much have to do. Because it's one of the worst readers I've heard. He constantly mis pronounce even common English words and many Russian words, strange pauses mid sentence, uneven reading pace etc. But the final straw that made me stop listening was him calling "Siberia" "Serbia" which is a pretty common word in a book about the gulag. So readers beware...
