Ben was born in a country that no longer exists, the USSR, and in a city that has since changed its name, Leningrad.  Ben could no longer tolerate the Russian winters, so he convinced his parents to emigrate from Russia, to another frozen tundra, untouched by human kindness, Connecticut.  Like many American children, Ben’s best friend and babysitter was the television.

Nothing lives in the woods anymore.”  Russian Optimism has been mentioned on Inc.,  BoingBoing, Elite Daily, Marginal Revolution, The Interrobang,  Stage Time Magazine,  Fan Girl Nation, The Family Farce, Publisher’s Weekly, The Political Carnival and The NY Post.
