How strongly do you believe in your political convictions? Strong enough to whisk your family away to the other side of the world to pursue your communist ideals?

Boris Frankel was ten when his dad decided to move to the Soviet Union - they were already on an ASIO watch list at the time due to their red-coloured friends in the 1950s. But did the Frankel’s find a perfect communist dream in Russia?

Boris tells the tales of the cast of characters and the challenges they came across in his new book 'No Country for Idealists'
