ABOUT THE BOOK
Maria, the main character of the trilogy "God’s Miracles in Lives of Regular People", decided to visit her family in Western Ukraine and assist them to move to France. Her fiancé Alexander miraculously found Maria in Germany and they got married. Waiting for their child to come, Maria took a risk and the Count and Countess Kurbatov entered the unknown communist country in fall of 1946. They did not find the family in the estate. As Maria discovered later, the local NKVD shot her father in 1944, sent the siblings to different orphanages in Russia and occupied Dr. Kotyk’s house.

The NKVD did not follow international or human laws towards the citizens of France. On the contrary, they demonstrated their demonic nature. Maria prayed for a miracle and her husband survived. The innocent couple was sentenced for 12 years of imprisonment and sent to Siberia camps for "people’s enemies".

Maria was transported with nuns and their warm prayers helped Maria during terrible voyage. The work in mines under freezing temperature was strenuous. Maria prayed and the Father Almighty protected Maria’s child and healthy Alexander Jr. was born.

The death of Stalin did not bring liberation for political inmates. Only in 1956 Maria’s punishment cell was opened. A new government acknowledged the mistakes in investigation of majority of the cases.

Alexander Jr. was destined to meet his father at the age of 10. They became the closest people. The Kurbatovs were not totally liberated. They were forcefully settled in Magadan zone without passports. Alexander visited Magadan KGB and insisted in their repatriation to France. His visit had a tragic ending. While being hospitalized, Maria learned that those who caused the misfortune in her family went after her children and her.
