Olga Gladky Verro, is an author-editor-memoirist. Her family lived during the turbulent times of the bloody Revolution when the Old Russia was destroyed by the Reds.
Under Stalin’s dictatorship her father was relentlessly persecuted by the state police as the “enemy of the people” while Bolsheviks were building socialist “paradise,” called Soviet Union.
After many years of waiting as refugees in Europe, they were able to immigrate to the United States, my parents in 1958 and Olga, with her Italian husband and two children, in 1959. We finally found peace and freedom in the “Land of the Free.”
As a writer Olga’s father, Orest M. Gladky, left part of himself behind. His writings are a time capsule preserving snapshots of ordinary people’s lives and their struggle to survive during the 1917 Russian Revolution and Civil War and during Stalin’s dictatorship and Communist Party rule in the Soviet Union.
