Alex, an unsinkable optimist, engineer, writer and inventor, scion of a family persecuted by Stalin, is always fighting: from the brutal Chechens at home to the Christian fundamentalists in America. An escapee from the USSR, the most tyrannical regime on Earth, he comes to the US at the age of 30 in search of love, freedom and riches. Will his newly acquired ability to vote for an elephant or an ass bring him all three? If not, which requirement does he need to sacrifice? He has only one life to answer this.
