"This impressive
program chronicles an American family's search for their roots as they
travel to Russia and Ukraine in 2001. ... background historical
information and the impact of the Russian Revolution on this family
are well presented. Suggested for public library family history and
Russian heritage collections."

if your library has a Russian collection."

and a link with, the past that sends shivers down the spine."
