The Extremist
Danil Rusakow
Available in eBook format from: Apple Books and Google Play – $7.99.
The Extremist examines modern Russian protests and describes the present regime and civil society’s resistance to dictatorship. The country is filled with protesters in search of a new model for their country.
A young man arrives in Moscow in search of purpose and meaning. He finds work as an engineer and becomes acquainted with a group of activists. He joins their protests, gets arrested by the police, and is sent to a psychiatric hospital.
Rusakow analyzes and compares the protests of 2012 to present day protests and the large-scale arrests in 2019. As a veteran radio correspondent in Russia, the author became personally familiar with different groups of protesters, adding his unique inside knowledge to the story.
The West grew up on Churchill’s definition of Russia as “a riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.” Rusakow’s hero adds to this riddle as he embarks on his path to Moscow by proclaiming: “I have to commit something important”.

My Pilgrimage to Jerusalem (bilingual)
Grigory Rasputin
Hundreds of books have been written about Rasputin, but very few people know that Rasputin himself authored a book. My Pilgrimage to Jerusalem was written as a gift for Tsar Nicholas II in 1915, in a print run of only 50 copies.
There are few figures in history to whom so much research has been devoted; and about whom so much media, including biographies, memoirs, novels, films and even an opera, have been created, than the Siberian “wise man” Grigory Rasputin (1869-1916).
