Thanks for the ping. Great article. The daddy, Roy, was the child of ethnic Armenian exiles from the Bolshevik revolution.
His claim to fame was being banned from the USSR for exposing the beginnings of the Sino-Soviet split in 1958. He would seem to be inclined to be a staunch anti-communist, but who knows!
“NEW YORK (AP) - Born in a Japanese fishing village just after his refugee family landed there in a desperate 1919 escape from Russia’s Bolshevik revolution, Roy Essoyan arrived in the Soviet Union nearly four decades later as an American journalist. But after three years of hobnobbing with Premier Nikita Khrushchev and other communist leaders, The Associated Press reporter’s Cold War adventure ended abruptly. In 1958, he was expelled for reporting that a serious breach had developed between the USSR and Mao Zedong’s China. The foreign ministry called it “a rude violation of Soviet censorship,” but Essoyan had exposed what became known in diplomatic parlance as the “Sino-Soviet split” - and earned himself a one-way ticket out of Moscow.”
His daughter is another story being born and raised in HI at about the same time Barry was and surrounded by leftist influences would appear to have gone leftist.
Here’s an article written by Susan about SADO. Couple of points stuck out.
The anthropology. Seemed more like a side. Line to her “real jobs “. Banking
Also her original topic was much broader
