About the Book

I was born in Yerevan, Armenia (former Soviet Union). I am a biophysicist by profession. Most Americans are not aware of the history of the Soviet Union, but I can say that as a baby boomer and a beloved son, I enjoyed a happy childhood. I remember my boy- pioneer and komsomol- teenager years as an endless, beautiful, but irreversible dream. The adulthood was far from perfect, but full of life, intelligence, life celebrating events and anecdotes. All of that ended in 1985, when Gorbachev came to power in the USSR, and the destruction of that country began. 1991-1993 were the worst years of my life; with no electricity, no gas, no transportation, and no food. Practically everybody was starving. Deaths from starvation and unbearable cold were all around. I remember that in the spring of 1992, a huge housing complex with elderly population near our home appeared mostly empty- people died in that harsh winter. In 1992, a massive exodus of Armenians from the homeland began. One time my father said that these years were even worse than during World War II. In 1999 I was lucky to receive an invitation to come work in the United States as a scientist, arranged by my former graduate student. With that, I became another link in the chain of the Armenian sufferings, as an immigrant -a process lasting 400 years for Armenians. I retired as an adjunct research professor from George Washington University. I have ended my scientific life by discovering the mechanism of blood return to the heart; an important problem of blood circulation that remained unsolved for centuries, of which I am very proud. I have seen the Soviet Union and its downfall, the post-Soviet Armenian state upheavals, and the United States, up close. I witnessed how the central communist regime was replaced by criminal governments in newly independent states. In the past ten years I have been active on Facebook, keeping in touch with Armenian and global politics. I have collected many of my short thoughts expressed on Facebook, which may seem to contain anger over my national history, the present state of criminal politics in Armenia, as well as my vision of current things locally and globally. These thoughts are different in subjects and themes, and are not ordered by any means. I present them in the order in which they evolved, with mostly colored cartoons on each page.
