Pyotr Patrushev [rustran at gmail.com]’s Summary

Professional Interpreter and Translator since the 1970's. Member of AIIC (Geneva) and NAATI (Australia). Interpreted for Russian and Australian Heads of State (Putin, Howard), Prime Ministers, Members of the Cabinet. Assignments for the CNN, American Broadcasting Corporation, ABC TV and Radio (Australia). Interpreted at over 200 international conferences, UN agencies, World Bank, etc. Translation, voice over and subtitling for TV and film industry. Corporate, private and business clients from around the world. Olympic and Asian games, starting with Munich in 1972.

I have recently published two books: a satire on how the Cold War ended when vodka was tinted with a psychedelic mushroom in the USSR; and a memoir about my swim out of Russia to Turkey in 1962 (for which I got sentenced to death on charges of "high treason" and put on the KGB's wanted list for 27 years).

I am in the process of updating another book, "The Transcendent Ape", a lighthearted look at "intelligent design", evolution and religion.

Reviews of "Project Nirvana" and "Sentenced to Death":

"A wildly imaginative book…Amazing tales..." (Robyn Williams, ABC Radio National, "In Conversation").

"Patrushev's novel brings the visions of Orwell and Huxley together." (Michael McGirr, Sydney Morning Herald).

"Get engrossed into the atmosphere of a real adventure: true and deadly dangerous." EX Magazine.

Writer and Broadcaster at the BBC (London), Radio Liberty (Munich and San Francisco), SBS Radio and Television (Australia); ABC Radio National, The Sydney Morning Herald and The Australian (freelance contributor).

Voice over specialist.
