Report Copyright Violation | A man named Sergei Kordakov He wrote a book, which I read when I was twelve. The book is called, "The Persecutor". In this book, he describes what it was like, what he took part in in the USSR, the torment and persecution of Christians.
One night, he was on a Russian ship, on the coast of Canada. He knew he had to escape, or death, so he jumps in the icey water, and swimes all night in pitch blackness, till he reaches the land of Canada - to freedom.
At the end of his book, he describes how he is not suicidal, but believed that he would be killed, and for those of us to know that it wouldn't be suicide.
He was found dead, with a shot to the head.
Here is some of his story:Sergei Kordakov Persecutor of Christians USSR Death
Sergei Kourdakov's death had been dubbed as "strange and uncertain."[2] Upon moving to California, Kourdakov moved in with a Christian family. Because he began making public appearances so often, he started worrying for his safety, so he began taking a revolver that belonged to the family's father with him whenever he traveled anywhere.[2] To celebrate the New Year, Sergei went on vacation with Ann Johnson, the seventeen year old daughter of the family he was living with first to Disneyland, then to a ski lodge in Running Springs, California. On January 1, 1973, Sergei Kourdakov was found dead in his motel room in Running Springs, California, killed by a gunshot to the head.[2] In his room was an unfinished typewritten paper (which he was preparing for Senator Strom Thurmond in regards to receiving permanent residency in the US), a champagne bottle, and the gun borrowed from the family's father.
Due to the circumstances, Sergei Kourdakov was initially announced to have died by suicide.[2] Many, notably Underground Evangelism founder and then-president L. Joe Bass, repudiated this claim. After a more thorough investigation, Kourdakov's death was ruled an accident on March 1, 1973, stating that while Sergei was playing with his revolver, he probably accidentally shot himself.[2] But due to Kourdakov's status as a former high-rank KGB agent who defected to North America and publicly opposed Communism, some believe that he was assassinated by another KGB member in order to silence him.[22] Sergei himself had considered the possibility of an assassination attempt, hence the revolver, stating that he "was in the Soviet Intelligence. They do not warn twice."[22] and that if anything were ever to happen to him, "it would have all the appearances of an accident."[7] L. Joe Bass was quoted on an Underground Evangelism newsletter saying that "What better than midnight on New Year's Eve, and what better place than that small, tourist-packed resort area for Sergei Kourdakov to have an 'accident'?"[2] After his death, his body was sent to Washington D.C. on January 10, 1973 where an English funeral service by Reverend Richard Halverson, a Presbyterian pastor, and a Russian service at a Russian Orthodox church were held.[3] Sergei Kourdakov was buried in a Russian section of Rock Creek Cemetery in Washington, D.C., USA on January 11, 1973.[1][3] [ link to en.wikipedia.org] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
