About the Author

Alexander Couprin was born and raised in the USSR during the Cold War. After graduating from Ural Law Academy with a law degree, he joined the Ministry of Internal Affairs - the internal soviet police, where he rose to the rank of Captain. On Christmas 1988, his life and career as a Soviet official ended abruptly when, while assigned as a chaperone to a Soviet delegation in Rome, he took the opportunity to defect and contacted the US consulate. Almost immediately, he was granted Political Asylum. Two days later, he saw the Statue of Liberty for the first time with his own eyes and started a new life as an American. Since then, he has relocated to Southern California, where he has made a living in real estate development and dealing in precious metals. Alexander lives in Encino, and often collaborates with various Russian-language resources and is a member of the editorial offices of the Panorama newspapers (Los Angeles) and the Continent publishing house (Chicago).
