A superb sample of 'trash literature' on misterous, although unwashed, Russian soul.The book was published in 'Var Hems Röda Romaner Serien' and read into pulp in the days of 'Red Scare' in Sweden and Finland.

'Herr Semenoff', sade jag och sag honom i ögonen.' Rings the bell? No, it was not George Busch, Jr. George Walker Busch was born 19 years later, on July 6th, 1946 and Herr Semenoff had nothing to do with 'Our Man in Kremlin'.
