The Russian Orphan
A few years ago, I worked at Anasazi Foundation, a wilderness therapy program for at-risk youth. For a time, I helped a young woman who was adopted from Russia. She had lived a very hard life and, as a result, she did not believe that there was any such thing as God—or that there was…

The Day I Discovered My Father Was A Soviet
It was February 2008, and I was living in Moscow with a Russian host family. It was the evening of Election Day–a day when Russians voted for their new president, President Medvedev. The occasion gave me the opportunity to talk to my Russian host dad about a topic I had avoided: communism and politics in Russia….
Брак не для Тебя
Будучи женатым всего полтора года, я недавно пришел к выводу, что брак—не для меня. Но прежде чем вы сделаете какие-либо выводы, прочтите статью до конца. Я познакомился со своей будущей женой еще в школе, когда нам было по 15 лет. Мы были просто друзьями на протяжении 10 лет, до тех пор пока…пока мы не решили,…
