1990. The Soviet Empire is unraveling. A circus has just arrived in America.
When the first privately owned Soviet circus arrived in America in 1990, as the Soviet Empire unraveled, its elite performers hoped to build cultural bridges through spectacular shows. Instead, this prestigious troupe faced a perilous journey through Cold War America.
Circus director Yuri had to navigate treacherous waters where American mobsters, Soviet agents, and political forces circled like predators. As high-stakes conspiracies threatened to tear the circus family apart, they confronted an impossible choice: the authoritarian chains of home or the uncertain promise of freedom.
Young aerialist Anton dreamed of becoming a clown against his family's wishes, while forbidden romances blossomed between Soviet performers and Americans who saw past the ideological divide.
Can human connection transcend ideology? Can storytelling bridge the divides that separate us?
As the Ringmaster reminds us, "The best Soviet stories are like vodka—they burn with suffering, intoxicate with conflict, keep you stewing in reflection, and leave you yearning for your heart's desire."
Based on true events the author learned in 1991, when the circus's American road manager became a client at his Atlanta entertainment law firm.
For readers who love: Historical fiction, romantic adventure, and Cold War intrigue. Features 45+ embedded YouTube links to period music and historical footage—an immersive multimedia reading experience that brings Cold War America and the crumbling USSR to life.
