An Improbable Life recounts Rashkovsky’s father’s childhood as a Jew in the post-World War II Soviet Union facing totalitarian oppression, deep poverty, petty harassment, discrimination, service in the Red Army during the Six-Day War in 1967, and his extraordinary escape to Israel in 1972. With the return of a totalitarian, imperialist Russia and the disturbing rise in antisemitism, Rashkovsky’s story is all too relevant to today’s struggles. Here is an impossible true story of what can be, indeed, possible.

Dr. Karine Rashkovsky, PhD. is the proud daughter of a brave man whose memories laid the foundation of An Improbable Life. With a French first name, Russian last name, and West Coast abode, her own trans-continental story is but a thread in a wider tapestry of incredible intergenerational tales―legend-worthy anecdotes that pull heart strings, offer laughs, and reveal tidbits of tantalizing history. While she has long been the author of a variety of published works, Karine is also an award-winning entrepreneur, educator, academic, artist, speaker, and executive coach. She currently resides on the west coast, where she spends her time exploring history, nature, and nerdy podcasts.

Paperback. Condición: New. Just how improbable can one man's survival story be? From evading the KGB and disassembling a downed American plane to narrowly escaping a life sentence in Siberia, Reuven Rashkovsky's story is a gripping tale of coming of age, searching for belonging, and daring to escape the tightly controlled Soviet regime. Relayed in his point of view by his daughter, Dr. Karine Rashkovsky, An Improbable Life tells the story of a man who has been at the center of some of the most dramatic and tumultuous events in modern history, from World War II to the Six-Day War to the collapse of the USSR, providing insight into the world of Soviet Jewry and the almost insurmountable obstacles to getting out. Filled with quirky, revealing anecdotes, An Improbable Life is a valuable historical resource for anyone intrigued by culture and identity in the Soviet Union from the last days of Stalin to the Brezhnev era and the paradox and perils of being outcast-and possibly heroic-in that time and place. With the return of a totalitarian, imperialist Russia, Rashkovsky's story is all too relevant to today's struggles. Here is an improbable true story of what can indeed, be possible.
