    People in democratic societies tend to take their freedom for granted. Oleg Vidov's life was different: He came of age in communist Russia. Though celebrated as one of the Soviet Union's biggest movie stars, no amount of fame could save him from a system that tried to control his life. And so began Oleg's desperate struggle for freedom-a journey that would culminate in his attempt to sneak across the border without being shot. Reinventing himself in Hollywood, his efforts to counter anti-Russian stereotypes were attacked by the same forces that ruined his career decades earlier.
