Product Description
by Galina V. Andreyev (Author)
This is more than a memoir of the Soviet past-it is a frontline testimony of how God carried one family through a monstrous system that set out to erase them.
My father, Vladimir Khailo, stood openly for truth and for Christ in a state that criminalized both. For that courage he was locked inside a top-secret military psychiatric facility, caged with violent offenders, and used in psychotropic experiments designed to shatter the mind. Seven years of isolation, humiliation, and calculated cruelty could not silence him. Within concrete walls he became a quiet beacon, strengthening fellow prisoners and pointing them to hope.
The attacks reached all of us. My brothers were framed and sent to prisons with hardened criminals. I was given drugs by the KGB and lost my child. Behind the Iron Curtain, the regime paraded "progress" while waging a hidden war on anyone who believed in God.
Then mercy broke through. A Dutch businessman, Ernst H. van Eeghen, intervened. The U.S. Congress took notice. With the help of Congressman Frank Wolf and President Ronald Reagan, we were delivered-first to the Netherlands, and then to the United States. We became the first family Mikhail Gorbachev allowed to leave the Soviet Union. Our rescue was human effort, yes, but above all it was the hand of God.
This book is not a catalogue of pain. It is a declaration that faith can be an unshakable shield in the face of calculated injustice. The KGB failed to destroy what they most feared. Our faith lived, and it still lives-evidence of how the human spirit endures when anchored in divine hope. Though others have written about our journey, these pages are my personal account, drawn from what I saw, suffered, and survived-offered to strengthen those who face their own battles.
If you finish with only one truth, let it be this: Christ is alive, His victory is real, and even the strongest chains answer to Him. When evil seems indestructible, God still opens doors no regime can close.
