Ivan Brovko is the author of memoirs “Dobrom Nahrite Sertse” (“Heart Warmed with Goodness”). After surviving two wars and two famines, Brovko went on to take Berlin as a long-range katiusha artillery officer. He worked with Soviet space rocket pioneer Serhiy Korolyov in the post-WW2 race to launch the first ballistic missiles to achieve sub-orbital spaceflight. Throughout Soviet rule, Brovko remained steadfast in his condemnation of Stalin and communism, suffering persecution as a university professor accused of nationalism. Brovko, 92, resides in Kyiv.
