Event Details

Join us as we welcome Sun Prairie author, Thierno Diallo, who will discuss his memoir, Nieggri in Moscow under Gorbachev: My Life as a Foreign Student in the USSR. Diallo has a Master's degree in Agronomy from the State Agricultural Institute of Kishinev, Moldova - formerly a part of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics.  After working for three years on crops and dairy farms in Normandy, France, he relocated to the US. He is now a Senior Corn Research Specialist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the owner of Gamou Organic Farms in Mali, and Director of the Nana Foundation. The book chronicles his incredible six year experience in the former Soviet Union during the height of the cold war.
