Book Synopsis Stalin's Captive by : Nikolaus Riehl

Download or read book Stalin's Captive written by Nikolaus Riehl and published by Chemical Heritage Foundation. This book was released on 1996 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After World War II, German scientist Nikolaus Riehl and his family were held captive in the Soviet Union from 1945 to 1955. His story is uniquely interesting in part because of its historical content, in part because he was bilingual in German and Russian, having grown up in St. Petersburg as the son of a German father and a Russian mother, and as a result of his warm human interest in the Russian people. He tells his story in Ten Years in a Golden Cage. Frederick Seitz has written a detailed introduction that provides a historical context for his translation (from German) of Riehl's book.
