Isaak Vaynshelboym was born in the Jewish settlement of Starokonstantinov, Ukraine. He served as an officer in the Soviet Army during World War II, commanding an infantry division until he was gravely wounded on the Eastern Front. Fortunately, he recovered from his injuries, was awarded many government awards for his service, and went on to graduate from the Moscow Law Institute. He later moved to Odessa, Ukraine, where he spent more than thirty years working as a successful attorney. Isaac
immigrated to the United States in 1991 and since then, has become known as an artist, writer, journalist and public figure. He has authored four novels, hundreds of news articles in Russian-language publications, and taken part in many art exhibitions. Through a variety of creative outlets, Isaak’s influence is felt throughout the greater Russian-speaking American Community.
