IMMIGRANT VOICES

 

LOST LOVE AND NEW LIFE IN BRIGHTON BEACH by Melissa Saks
Roman Bachurin came to the U.S. with his wife a decade ago, fleeing religious persecution in Russia and in search of the American Dream. He and his wife had a baby. Then his wife left him for another man and took the baby with her. A moving conversation in Brighton Beach with a heartbroken immigrant trying to make sense of what has happened to him in America.
