520    "This gripping book tells the largely unknown story of 
       longtime Russian dissident Alexander Ogorodnikov -- from 
       Communist youth to religious dissident, in the Gulag and 
       back again. Ogorodnikov's courage has touched people from 
       every walk of life, including world leaders such as 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 an underground group 
       called the Christian Seminar. When the KGB gave him the 
       option to leave the Soviet Union rather than face the 
       Gulag, he firmly declined because he wanted to change 
       "his" Russia from the inside out. His willingness to 
       sacrifice himself and be imprisoned meant leaving behind 
       his wife and newborn child. Ogorodnikov spent nine years 
       in the Gulag, barely surviving the horrors he encountered 
       there. Despite KGB harassment and persecution after his 
       release, he refused to compromise his convictions and went
       on to found the first free school in the Soviet Union, the
       first soup kitchen, and the first private shelter for 
       orphans, among other accomplishments. Today this man 
       continues to carry on his struggle against government 
       detainments and atrocities, often alone. Readers will be 
       amazed and inspired by Koenraad De Wolf's authoritative 
       account of Ogorodnikov's life and work."--Publisher's
