Alexander Ruz
Alexander Ruz’s father was forced to work in a Siberian labor camp because of Stalin’s policies after World War II. He is an ex NASA scientist whose life journey has taken him across political systems and the globe. Alexander spent his childhood in a bleak coal-mining community until he managed to get the physics degree at the University of Moscow under Yakov Zeldovich, a very prominent scientist. Then he left for the US where he worked as a NASA Principal Scientist at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. His compelling Soviet Union memoir tells about his successful journey from a victim of political repression to freedom and prosperity through science. His inspiring Soviet refugee memoir is an example of persistence, human respect, and the struggle for freedom.

SIBERIAN DREAM
“Father, why must we live in this freezing land?” young Alexander asked, clutching his coat against the cold wind. “Because the regime leaves us no choice,” his father said, gazing over the snowy labor camp. After WWII, Stalin forced thousands, including Alexander’s father, a former orphan and farm manager, into harsh Siberian camps to extract natural resources. Despite the brutal, multiethnic environment, Alexander faced many hardships but stayed determined. This Russian memoir book is a testimonial for his difficult journey to freedom. Eventually, he pursued education and moved to Moscow to study physics with top mentors.
