I
osif Israel Volsun was born on July 13, 1924,
the same year that Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov, better
known by the alias Lenin, died. Lenin was the key
leader of the Russian Revolution, the primary theorist
of the communist ideology, and the first ruler of
Soviet Russia. Lenin believed that Soviet Russia and
communism would last forever. In 1989, when Iosif
was 65 years old, he watched the collapse of both.
Although Iosif served in the Soviet Air Force and did
his job diligently, he never believed in the
ideology the Soviets stood for.
