IGOR by Anthony Wayman
The portrayal of the Soviet Union during the Cold War period was usually unflattering yet, following the death of Joseph Stalin, the Cold War might not have been quite so cold had a more balanced approach been adopted in the West, for there was a genuine desire by the new administration for a better relationship. IGOR, an account of the experiences of a uniquely talented young Russian, may serve to help illustrate this, though some might dismiss it as implausible.
Anthony Wayman retired from working with unsettled teenagers he found the history of ordinary people an interesting topic about which to write, the research involved proving particularly fascinating. From school to the army as a boy soldier, a short stay in the police and on to social work. He is a family man with daughters and grandchildren all in close, supportive contact. His hobbies include gardening and the care of wild birds. His interest in Russia stems from his contact with Soviet soldiers in Berlin during the cold war when, on the quiet, they would exchange cigarettes and vodka and enjoy doing so. This led to him enquiring further which led to the writing of Igor. Other publications by the author is Wharfinger, a tale of life on the River Thames in the 19th century and its sequel, Squire, which includes a collection of short stories to be published shortly.
