Leonid volkov in lithuania, welcome to hardtalk. We need to begin, i think, by establishing what kind of contact you have with Alexei Navalny right now. Do you have any means of contacting him .

They had just published their first volume, it was on pocahontas because of the issues regarding native American History. They were looking for someone to do something on American Foreign relations.

The topic i debated and consulted with some people about which biographical figure might serve that purpose in the american context. I kept coming back to Henry Kissinger.
