During the years preceding the Russian Revolution, in 1917, the Russian citizens were oppressed and imprisoned if they opposed the Tsar Nikolay Romanov. Flight Of A Stormy Petrel is a story of one man's efforts to bring freedom to the working class and of the hardships he faced with his crusade. Numerous lives were touched by this man's efforts and, in a small way, he became one of many unsung heros that led the way to the final overthrow of the Romanov Dynasty.
