Fresh off the plane from Belarus, this eleven year old cannot seem to catch a break. Her family is split in two, she doesn’t speak a lick of English, and there is a rusty fire escape outside her grandmother’s bathroom window that terrifies her. The adults around her are convinced that, by virtue of her age, she’s immune to true hardships. After all, they have bigger things to worry about than her overwhelm. But the complicated family dynamics and the complexity of becoming a middle schooler in Brooklyn, NY in 1994 prove that nothing is as easy as it is prophesied. Marina is in for a lonely and testing ride, seeking solace in the bright colors of American television and finding company in the music played on her second-hand stereo. What awaits Marina on this journey that is her Year One? https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59e56522aeb625a13fc0a361/0147485c-0dfe-4a2d-99e5-e2db1ea1bd8c/Marina-Book-Cover-2.jpg Books - Marina is off to a rough start in the country of her dreams V Immigratsii is a sweeping work of historical fiction tracing the extraordinary journey of a Soviet Jewish family fleeing the USSR in the late 1980s — a time when leaving meant surrendering everything. Told through multiple points of view, the novel moves between tense days in Austria and Italy, where the family petitions for refuge and chases a long-held dream, and the confined days of a present-day COVID lockdown, as they gather to reflect on the life-altering path they once traveled. As past and present converge, V Immigratsii explores the cost of survival, the weight of memory, and the enduring ties of love and belonging — all shaped by an unexpected turn in their search for a new home. https://www.marinaraydun.com/contact daily 0.75 2019-07-31 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59e56522aeb625a13fc0a361/1570378779589-0FT58QHSDQIFI3QNC7F2/BANNER-Name.jpg Contact https://www.marinaraydun.com/reviews daily 0.75 2021-12-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59e56522aeb625a13fc0a361/1570379760978-SPPDIO5IKF7D9A73016A/BANNER-Name.jpg MR Book Club Reviews https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59e56522aeb625a13fc0a361/10c06e3d-4970-4a45-a5b5-dd8e05c7469d/MRBookClubBanner.jpg MR Book Club Reviews - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.marinaraydun.com/about-me daily 0.75 2025-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59e56522aeb625a13fc0a361/1570379439409-Y1V30BKRGWUSDZOTEP45/BANNER-Name.jpg About Me https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59e56522aeb625a13fc0a361/1586172895756-4FG9A6KITOHDZXVDXWYZ/Raydun-Podcast-Apr2020.jpg About Me - Writer’s Showcase Podcast https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59e56522aeb625a13fc0a361/1586173180620-DT4UXOSN407MJRELAO66/Raydun-Southside-Apr2020.jpg About Me - Southside Broadcasting https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59e56522aeb625a13fc0a361/1586173103686-POEH9HITUGU3GU2PXZ2X/Raydun-SpillingInk-Apr2020.jpg About Me - Spilling Ink Show https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59e56522aeb625a13fc0a361/1583779164753-0F8TPZOJP6O1E9FI8VBO/Raydun-Podcast.png About Me - Listen to my interview on Alive After Reading podcast with Tim Niederriter https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59e56522aeb625a13fc0a361/0ff1973d-8f9a-4616-8f83-ea5c642c6ca9/Media-Kit.png About Me Marina Raydun, Author Media Kit https://www.marinaraydun.com/mailing-list daily 0.75 2025-03-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59e56522aeb625a13fc0a361/1570379852597-6CRKB3LQO7JZ413MN44N/BANNER-Name.jpg Subscribe https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59e56522aeb625a13fc0a361/1580991014757-4HMH57PB477ZRQLQDE77/RaydunHeaderFeb.jpg Subscribe https://www.marinaraydun.com/promos daily 0.75 2020-01-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59e56522aeb625a13fc0a361/1570379795826-2DAT7OXBXVGZXE10V2ZW/BANNER-Name.jpg Promos https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59e56522aeb625a13fc0a361/1565095619410-FJUIFPK17OD32WOPAH5I/Good-Morning-Bellingham_kindle-final.jpg Promos Good Morning, Bellingham.

Her family is split in two, she doesn’t speak a lick of English, and there is a rusty fire escape outside her grandmother’s bathroom window that terrifies her. The adults around her are convinced that, by virtue of her age, she’s immune to true hardships. After all, they have bigger things to worry about than her overwhelm. But the complicated family dynamics and the complexity of becoming a middle schooler in Brooklyn, NY in 1994 prove that nothing is as easy as it is prophesied. Marina is in for a lonely and testing ride, seeking solace in the bright colors of American television and finding company in the music played on her second-hand stereo.

Told through multiple points of view, the novel moves between tense days in Austria and Italy, where the family petitions for refuge and chases a long-held dream, and the confined days of a present-day COVID lockdown, as they gather to reflect on the life-altering path they once traveled. As past and present converge, V Immigratsii explores the cost of survival, the weight of memory, and the enduring ties of love and belonging — all shaped by an unexpected turn in their search for a new home.
