Wow!  It must be good.  It's out of print, and the cheapest one for sale
at amazon.com is $150!  Author is Bruce McCall.

BTW, there was a magazine called "Soviet Life", put out by the Soviet
government.  Copies are real period pieces now.  Designed to take a
calm, tolerant, liberal American and turn them into a raving, foaming-
at- the- mouth anti- Communist.
