"Research. I read books, read Pravda, interviewed lots of Russians, went to university professors who were specialists in Soviet Russia, looked
at maps and timetables. What do people do when they write historical novels? Research. Basic to all such books is the belief that human nature
remains constant, that people change because of their circumstances and location, in addition to their time in history. The trick is to get
the background right, create the characters and understand what they are doing in the context of their environment."

More About Stuart Kaminsky
"This is the excellent foppery of the world, that, when we are sick in fortune, often the surfeit of our own behaviour, we make guilty of our disasters the sun, the moon, and the stars; as if we were villains by necessity, fools by heavenly compulsion, knaves, thieves, and treachers by spherical predominance, drunkards, liars, and adulterers by an enforced obedience of planetary influence; and all that we are evil in, by a divine thrusting on: an admirable evasion of whore-master man, to lay his goatish disposition to the charge of a star!"
Shakespeare, King Lear (Edmund) Act I, scene ii
