"A Record of Interesting Choices: Tales of a Post-Soviet Man in the
West" is a collection of entertaining and irreverent stories from a
Russian immigrant living in the US. With his characteristic sarcasm
and at times warm tone, Jigoulov writes on religion in America, the
importance of German erotica in the Soviet space, the world of
espionage, and the secrets of the Russian soul. Jigoulov
reminiscences on growing up in the Soviet Union, his experiences in
the Soviet intelligence services, and his involvement with American
religious groups in Russia and the US. He also shares his humorous
anecdotes of survival as an immigrant. After living in the US for
over twenty years, the author reflects back at his life in the
Soviet Union as a Westerner and writes about it in the language
that would appeal to American readers.
