To many people, Russia remains as enigmatic today as it was during the Iron Curtain era. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, the country had an opportunity to face its tortured past. Here, Brent asks - why didn't this happen? To answer such a question, he draws on 15 years of unprecedented access to high level Soviet archives. He shows readers a Russia where, in 1992, women sold used toothbrushes on the street to survive, yet now the shops are filled with luxury goods. Brent encounters Stalin's spectre through these changes and takes readers deep inside his archives.

Over 200 years, journalists explored Russia to gather enough information so that Americans could form valid opinions about that infamous “riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma.” Each generation of American writers rediscoveredRussia as national interest in the country waxed and waned. Discovering Russiadescribes the work of well-known journalists like John Reed, Walter Duranty, Harrison Salisbury, Hedrick Smith and David Remnick as well as remarkable characters whose names and work are nearly forgotten. The cast includes brave reporters, sycophants, naive pilgrims and one reporter-spy. The author concludes that the sum of the journalism done under difficult conditions proved to be remarkably valid, giving Americans the information to form their opinions about Russia. Murray Seeger is a veteran journalist who has worked in Washington, Asia and Europe and who has studied Russia over 40 years. Of his reporting fromMoscow, Time Magazine said, he “offers cross-cultural information in the style of Alistair Cooke.” Seeger was a Nieman Fellow in Journalism at Harvard University, won a Loeb Award for reporting economics and has written for many magazines in addition to major newspapers.

Alfred and Jean McCroskey were earnestly praying about their future lives in 1985. After much counseling, reading and writing, their prayers started being answered. God was leading them to be "full-time, non-resident, foreign missionaries to the Soviet Union." By 1988, Alfred and Jean had sold everything they owned, including home, farm, a car and business, and were living by faith alone. That same year Alfred made his first venture into Russia as a Bible "smuggler" and ministered to pastors of "underground" churches.Seventeen years, over sixty mission trips, and 800+ "fellow travelers" going with them, the McCroskey's tell their fascinating story in a most personal readable account simply called Discovering Russia. Read for yourself and learn how God used an ordinary couple through simple faith and obedience to literally touch a nation, the old "evil empire," with the good news about their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

"Discovering the Moscow Countryside" is a fascinating voyage into the history, architecture, people, and archaeology of the country that surrounds Moscow. The towns and villages dotted around this wooded landscape are rich in associations. Wave after wave of invaders--Tatars, Poles, French, and Germans--sought to conquer Russia through these lands. Now, with the collapse of the Soviet Union, many of the beautiful monasteries and little ruined country churches are coming back to life. This is also the land of the dacha--that special haven to which all city dwellers, at the first melting of the snow, escape: whether it be to a wooden mansion or a tiny room lost in the woods. This book is a practical guide for the tourist keen to explore this fascinating area of Russia, as well as for the curious armchair traveler.
