Ayn Rand was born in Russia and attended the University in St. Petersburg. She left the oppressive atmosphere of the Soviet Union to immigrate to the United States. From here she waged a courageous and unceasing war against the greatest evil of our time - collectivism. Her books, from "Atlas Shrugged" to "Anthem", explicitly reveal the destructive nature of socialistic philosophies and offer Objectivism as a viable solution for the problems plaguing modern society.
