Dr. KARINE RASHKOVSKY / An Improbable Life: My Father’s Escape from Soviet Russia

From evading the KGB and disassembling a downed American plane to narrowly escaping a life sentence in Siberia, Reuven Rashkovsky’s story is a gripping tale of searching for belonging, and daring to escape the tightly controlled Soviet regime. Relayed in his point of view by his daughter, Dr. Karine Rashkovsky, An Improbable Life tells the story of a man who has been at the centre of some of tumultuous events in modern history, from World War II to the Six-Day War to the collapse of the USSR, providing insight into the world of Soviet Jewry and the almost insurmountable obstacles to getting out.

Dr. KARINE RASHKOVSKY is an award-winning entrepreneur, educator, speaker, author, and academic. She is the founder of a Canadian enrichment program and a sought-after executive coach. She lives in West Vancouver.
