In the late 1950s, the Soviet Union was pressuring its citizens in Harbin, China, to return to Mother Russia. For the family of Dimitry (“Mitya”) Nikolayevich Zissermann and other White Russians, leaving their beloved “home town” had its perils. Few wanted to labor on the collective farms – their likely fate if they returned. But where else could they go, and how would they get there?

The Manchurian settlement of Harbin, headquarters of the Chinese Eastern Railway, had grown into a multicultural city by the early 1900s with an unmistakable Russian identity, coupled with unique Chinese-Russian relations. In the ensuing years, the city survived and sometimes even thrived during the Russian Revolution, Manchuria’s Japanese occupation, the Soviets’ expulsion of Japan from the region, Chinese civil war, and China’s Communist Revolution.

Harbin’s eventual transformation from an obscure rural settlement into a strategic Chinese manufacturing center exhibiting increasing animosity toward foreigners impacted the Russians in countless ways. This is one of their stories.

I have been working with Erik as my book distributor for several months.  I have found him to be supportive, reliable and easily available for any concerns that I have.  I feel totally comfortable working with Erik and would recommend him for future clients.  He has even organized free-of-charge support group meetings, which are truly helpful for a new author.

This company not only met all of my distribution needs at an affordable price, but the owner, Erik Korhel (a successful author himself), continues to selflessly offer invaluable help and advice as I take on the challenging world of self-publishing. I would highly recommend EDK to any author, especially those new to the foray!
