Dissident For Life
Alexander OgorodnikovPaperback 2013-02-07
Publisher Description
From Communist youth to religious dissident, from the Gulag and back again, Koenraad De Wolf tells the story of longtime Russian dissident Alexander Ogorodnikov, whose courage touched people from every walk of life, including famous world leaders like Bill Clinton, Ronald Reagan, and Margaret Thatcher.
In the 1970s Ogorodnikov performed a feat without precedent in the Soviet Union: he organized thousands of Protestant, Orthodox, and Catholic Christians in a secret underground group called the Christian Seminar. When the KGB found out, he was sent to the Gulag, where he spent nine years, barely surviving the horrors he encountered there. Despite persecution, Ogorodnikov refused to compromise his convictions. Readers will be fascinated and inspired by De Wolf's authoritative account of Ogorodnikov's life and work.
