I also have quite a story about my childhood which I rarely share: born in the Soviet Union to a family of underground Protestant church leaders. My dad spent 8 years in the gulags, my grandfather was executed during Stalin’s rule. My family came to America after my dad and four other Soviet dissidents were exchanged for two Soviet spies during Jimmy Carter’s administration. You should see people’s faces when I summarize my childhood! I keep most of the facts to myself and just say that I was born and grew up in Kyiv, Ukraine. lol
