We are in for a really interesting experience at the February Monthly meeting on February 4th at the Chrin Community Center in Palmer Township at 7pm. Our speaker, Oleg Atbashian, is a writer and graphic artist from the former USSR. Born and raised in Ukraine, he used to be a teacher, a translator, a worker, a freelance journalist, and at one time a propaganda artist, creating visual agitprop for the local Party committee in a Siberian town. In 1994, he emigrated to the USA hoping to live in a country that was ruled by reason and common sense. Ironically, he now lives in New York City 
. He is the creator of ThePeoplesCube.com, a satirical website where he writes under the name of Red Square.
The artwork to the left was created by Oleg and is an example of the powerful illustrations contained in his latest book, Shakedown Socialism: Progress to Nowhere, a story of Unions, Pitchforks, Collective Greed, the Falicy of Economic Equality, and other optical illusions of "Redistributive Wealth." A recent editorial view called the book "A brilliant study, profusely illustrated with cartoons and propaganda posters, it explains why Socialism cannot work. The book is an eye-opener as the author supports his arguments with examples drawn from his life in the Soviet Union before 1994 and more recent events in the USA."
In addition to speaking, Oleg will be conducting a book signing and have books for sale at the meeting. Books are $12 and cash or checks will be accepted.
***UPDATE: Listen to Oleg with Bobby Gunther Walsh on WAEB 790 at 8:45AM on Monday, Tuesday AND WEDNESDAY, January 31-February 2***
Here's what David Horowitz has to say about him:
"Oleg Atbashian has written a timely warning for Americans about the collectivists among us and their plans for the future. I hope everyone reads this book."
For those of you that attended the January Meeting and heard Paul Saunders' talk "The Rise and Fall of Altruism, Collectivism, and Statism," you received a great introduction and background for Oleg's visit with us in February.
