Is is possible that America risks losing our precious freedoms? Let's hope not!
THE DANGER WE FACE
There was once a country (the Soviet Union, or USSR) which for 75 years was ruled by a small group of Communists in a one-party-dominated government which told its citizens what they could and couldn’t read, say, or do; where they could go and where they couldn’t go; and levied harsh requirements on how they lived their lives.

There was once a country (the Soviet Union, or USSR) which for 75 years was ruled by a small group of Communists in a one-party-dominated government which told its citizens what they could and couldn’t read, say, or do; where they could go and where they couldn’t go; and levied harsh requirements on how they lived their lives.
As I watch American social media platforms censor what people can post, corporations punish and even fire employees for violating speech codes, government bureaucrats issue mask mandates and travel restrictions, etc., I’m beginning to see a very, very dangerous pattern developing.
Rather than focusing on philosophy or politics, I prefer showing my fellow Americans what everyday life was like for Soviet citizens. I saw it firsthand, “up close and personal,” during my career and want to share it so that people can see it for what it is and ask themselves, “Do I really want to live like that?”

"Alarmed by the perverse sympathies toward communism and socialism he's seeing in our new America, in 2017 Charles Cole wrote a memoir of his six surreal months in the USSR, in hopes of not only preserving that history but begging Americans to pay heed to the lessons of the failed communist experiment. He hopes to offer truth as an antidote to 'mind-numbing propaganda,' then and still today."

"Mr. Cole's insightful and precise account of life in the Soviet Union sheds important light on the realities of a tyrannical regime too often ignored by Western historians. I strongly recommend this book to anyone contemplating socialism as a replacement for our system. In Russian Wonderland serves as a grim reminder of what can happen when people ignore the lessons of history."
