Cultural and literary scholar, essayist, journalist

“Alexander Goldfarb's book could be regarded as investigative journalism, but there is one essential circumstance. This is not just a detective story about KGB espionage. Goldfarb explores his family's past. The dark sides of the Big Story are intertwined with the fates of loved ones and the author's own life. After all, this is a personal, biographical book. The author emphasizes his own involvement and responsibility, which affects the whole structure of the narrative and moves it into a completely different (artistic) genre plan”.
