Author Frank Thoms gives us a look at the real Russia in new book

Writer Frank Thoms has spent 25 years talking about Marxism, Russian history, and Soviet Communism as a teacher. But he's also spent years in Russia on seven different occasions since 1985 and has been beyond the Iron Curtain and the Red Veil to what the country is really like. 

In his new book, “Behind the Red Veil: An American inside Gorbachev’s Russia,” he introduces people to Russia, its people, and how he changed from the experience.
