About this ebook

In the spring of 1944, Red Army Air Force military correspondent Mikhail Koriakov experienced a profound religious awakening which led to a sudden marked revulsion in his entire opinion of the Soviet system and philosophy. On voicing his new views, he was regarded to be “ideologically unsound,” was relieved of his post, and assigned to innocuous duties.

I’ll Never Go Back, first published in 1948, details the author’s adventures following his conversion. The book provides a starkly realistic account of the brutality of the Red Army, detailing various incidents of barbarisms to which he was witness, and also describes his assignment to the Embassy and the operations of the Soviet secret police (NKVD) in Paris during this period.

During his time as a member of the Soviet Embassy staff, he compiled the material for his book, I’ll Never Go Back, which was published in 1948. Koriakov died in 1977.
