Turning Oppression into Opportunity





A deeply personal story of endurance,
resilience and faith that
outlasted an empire.





“It is not possible to read this book without tears. I hope that a lot of people, especially young people, will read it.” – Boris G.


Branded an enemy. Swept to Siberia. Shaped by adversity.


The Iron Broom is the gripping true

story of David, raised between two worlds:

the warmth of his family home and

the crushing control

of Soviet communism.




When he chose personal conviction over conformity, the Soviet

military sentenced him to a prison camp deep in the Siberian

taiga, one of the harshest outposts of the empire.

There, guarding the broken and forgotten, David came face to

face with a system designed to extinguish individual identity

and crush the soul.


But the punishment meant to break him became the one that shaped him.
