The Russian Vodka Syndrome is a literary political story, a novel, a spy thriller about an African student in the former communist Soviet Union whom the KGB-the Soviet government security agency, wants to recruit into the KGB at any cost to progress communism in his country. No other place; film, video, or book, has so vividly and with so much clarity ever told the story of the sufferings of Africans under Soviet communism as it is revealed here. The book is full of experiences of pain, violence, racism, strong racial language, racial prejudice, sympathy, bitterness, remorse, romance, anxiety, nostalgia, great admirations and expectations, frustrations, horror, revulsion, surprise, anger, betrayal, oppression, fear, fatigue, dread, alarm, uncertainty, conflict, confusion, hopelessness, helplessness, misery, dejection, desperation, shock, apprehension, disbelief, discomfort, blackmail, treachery, despair, agony and finally, total disillusionment. It is a gripping tale about how African students unintentionally assisted the West to bring down the Soviet Union. It also provides insights into the similarities between the causes of the fall of the Soviet Union, Egypt, Tunisia and Libya. This story was written to show the impact of Soviet Communism on African students living in the former Soviet Union and by extension, on African students living in the former communist bloc countries of Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia, East Germany, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Yugoslavia. This story is completely captivating and convincing. Seven chances out of ten, you will shed emotional tears before you complete reading it!
