Hello All,
I would like to share something with the whole world. I would like to share my grandfathers’ and alot of other people works that have gone on in(Mother Russia, CCCP) as best as I can. This is a book that has been written about my grandfather “Nikolai Goretoy“. It’s called APOCALYPTIC BABYLON. As of now I am not aware of any translations of this book. I remember a long time ago someone of my relatives told me that during WWII. When Jewish people were hiding from the Nazis our last name got modified slightly to become GoretoY, It was modified by adding the letter G in the beginning and the letter Y on the end to seem not so Jewish or something, I guess. Microsoft Office tries to correct my last name with a space between Gore and Toy. Word games are fun. Thought I’d just throw that in there. This book is in Russian language, 407 page long including the index pages. ISBN 966-7802-30-2 illustrated in year 2005 by B. Pavlenko. Through out my life my father always tells me stories of the days in this book, with Communist KGB agents trying to do anything to stop my grandfather from completing his mission from GOD(that’s what I call it anyways). How the KGB has poisoned my grandfather and others in Russian prison camps, which I believe was the result of his passing 1 year after our family and alot of other Russian families were allowed to leave the Old Communist CCCP and his mission was complete. My grandfather was a great painter. A great leader. One that in prison has earned himself a nickname of “Righteous Judge” or “Rightful Judge” or “Pravidny Sudya” There are quite a few biblical painting by my grandfather out in the wild. You can see a sample after page 80 in this book. I only remember one instance of meeting him when I was young, around 6 years old. After that he was in prison as was my Dad, Ilya Goretoy and alot of others. For there Christian beliefs. Could you imagine having to go to prison for a belief, a belief in GOD? NO, NOT IN AMERICA. All because of one reason. (and maybe a couple more 
If it wasn’t for the past, there would be no future.(Not sure if anyone has said that, but I’m saying it now) For now I guess this is all I have to say, I will try keep these pages up to date in remembrance of my grandfather when I have time. Peace be with you all.

PS. What I will do is post as much of the book as I can with each post containing 12 pages of the book scanned by me(Aleksandr Ilyich Goretoy) each scanned page consisting of 2 pages of the book. I hope not to get in trouble for this, as I have looked all over the net for this ISBN and wasn’t able to find it. This was the best solution I could think of to get the word out. Please, don’t sue me I’m A Goretoy
