This is not your typical memoir/redemption story. This is a thriller. Casting aside a format autobiography readers will find familiar, the author does not present himself as the victim who overcomes _________ (insert dramatic life obstacle here: poverty, persecution, abuse, alcoholism, government persecution, etc. . .) Indeed, some of the most poignant and painful personal events of his life are treated as almost incidental. I have come to see this style--writing yourself into the footnotes of your own story--as the mark of someone who has witnessed a lot of human suffering. But this is not a gloom and doom story. With a dry sense of irony, Polishchuk uses his own exploits resisting the Soviet regime to paint a larger picture of human rights abuses and the absurdity of life under communist rule. Being a sarcastic, persecuted minority in a humorless society might have been a recipe for disaster or even death, and indeed, the author was incarcerated, harassed, followed, bugged, and had his ribs busted by the KGB, but none of this stopped him from his pursuit of the truth. I was captivated by the pervasive cat and mouse games, as the author dodged spies, party leaders, finks, and agents, while pursuing the stories of the persecuted and communicating them to the world outside of the USSR. I thought this stuff only happened in the movies! In spite of his self-deprecating style, Polishchuk is transformed from an idealistic journalist with a weak stomach into an unlikely superhero. Or maybe not so unlikely. After all, didn’t Superman work at a newspaper?

This book should be required reading to all high school and college students, and is very highly recommended to people of all ages who may have lingering misconceptions about the illusory virtues of utopian socialist society.These days, when being an aspiring socialist is so much in vogue among a big segment of the population it is imperative that those proudly wearing t-shirts emblazoned with Che’s portrait, and claiming that “real” socialism, i.e. the one they would practice, would be the best, most compassionate, tolerant, just and fair for the “99 percenters”, stop for a moment and read a real first hand account of what their grandiose ideas become when put in practice.The author experienced, and describes in this book, with page-turning, sometimes profound and other times humorous and self deprecating prose, all sides and stages of socialism, from the savage barbarism of Stalin to the “liberal and enlightened” reformism of Gorbachev.The reader gets a vivid account of living under real socialism, where no matter whether you are a peasant from a remote Siberian village wanting to practice an “unapproved” religion, a Jew longing to go to the land of your forefathers, or an elite, loyal, Communist Party member journalist, you are still a slave. You are always dancing on thin ice ready to break at any moment and drown you for sins of uttering a politically incorrect word, having “suspicious” friends, voting the “wrong way”, or just being generally “not sufficiently loyal”.This highly informative book hopefully will help to disabuse those who believe that George Orwell’s “1984”, Aldous Huxley’s “Brave New World” and Franz Kafka’s “The Trial” are just fancy , entertaining books of dystopian fiction and could never become reality.

Arkady Polishchuk has done the world a great service by memorializing his remarkable journey from an elite Soviet journalist to a rogue dissident who attended and at great risk to himself reported on the Soviet show trials of refuseniks (Russian Jews who tried to emigrate to Israel in the 1970s). Because that wasn't danger enough for Mr. Polishchuk, his memoir also recounts how Mr. Polishchuk then adopted the cause of persecuted Baptists and Pentecostals: Mr. Polishchuk not only befriended them but also traveled to their remote villages to collect firsthand testimonies of the imprisonments, bankrupting fines and debilitating beatings (including of children) imposed or incited by Soviet authorities simply because they wanted to worship and follow Jesus. Mr. Polishchuk's fast-paced memoir demonstrates his impressive memory of the dramatic show trials of refuseniks and the harrowing details of persecution of Baptists and Pentecostals. When the peace, prosperity and religious freedom in the US have dulled our awareness of the horrific persecution that Christians face in much of the world, Mr. Polishchuk provides a timely reminder through his graphic account of the Soviets' mistreatment of Baptists and Pentecostals. May God bless Mr. Polishchuk for his courage in advocating for refuseniks, Baptist and Pentecostals, voluntarily becoming an outcast in the Soviet Union and then suffering exile in the West that separated him from his family, lifelong friends and the refuseniks and Christians he had come to admire deeply.

What new could Polishchuk tell me aboutmy former country - both of us lived thereat the same time, both were journalists.But Dancing on Thin Ice became for mesome kind of a revelation. He was adissident and revealed many disgustingdepths of Mother Ryssia's degradation.The depths that official scribes like meand thousands of my colleagues wereprohibited from writing about. In ourdesire to keep our files clean wepreferred not talk and not to know toomuch about. It was usual self-preservation reflex of usual 'sovok'(dweller of Soviet antiutopia).I hope that the English language readerwould find in this book a plephora ofhorrible examples of sovok life which arenow quickly crawling back to my formercounty.Vlad.

Although I bought this book elsewhere, I wanted a way to express how much I enjoyed it. Enjoyed probably isn't the right word given Polishchuk's journey, but the author's biting wit reminded me of the way I felt reading Catch-22. Polishchuk's laugh-out-loud dark humor made his harrowing story a fast read.
