Frank Thoms went to the Soviet Union not to judge but to learn. As
a result, he gained the trust and confidence of the people he
befriended-and discovered much about himself. Behind the Red Veil
recounts Frank's quest to understand the Russian people. He spent
his initial twenty-five years as a teacher, during which time he
pursued his understanding of Marxism, Russian history, and Soviet
Communism. His first venture to the Soviet Union occurred in
October 1985, Mikhail Gorbachev's first year as general secretary
of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. In his following six
trips, Frank served twice as a US-Soviet exchange teacher of
English in Leningrad (St. Petersburg), and on his own taught
English in schools in Moscow and Alma-Ata (Almaty), Kazakhstan. His
final journey, which was to the new Russia in 1994, three years
after Gorbachev's resignation, took him to Yekaterinburg in the
Ural Mountains. Through it all, Frank sought the love and respect
of the Russians he came into contact with. Behind the Red Veil is
the story of how they opened their hearts to him-and, in doing so,
opened his.
