Angelika Regossi is an author, journalist, and East European specialist who writes historical fiction about love, power, and intimacy shaped by political regimes.

Before turning fully to fiction, she worked as a correspondent for the BBC Russian Service and for Radio France Internationale, reporting during the fall of the Iron Curtain and the transformation of Eastern Europe. Writing under the names Agnes R. Bos and Агнеш Бос, she covered the collapse of communism, the wars of Yugoslav independence, and the political reshaping of the region.

On 29 January 2003, she reported from Budapest on the exhibition “Sex and Communism” at the Blinken Open Society Archives (OSA). The broadcast examined how socialist ideology attempted to regulate private

You can feel the joy much stronger when you know, what is suffering. It's like enjoying food more after the hunger or a drink after the thirst.
In general, I think that suffering is a good stimulation for success and higher achievements in life for strong people. For the weak - suffering is destruction. While the strong will fight to climb out of the suffering hole, the weak will sled in it deeper with depression, drugs, or alcohol.

I like this quote from the Lebanese-American creative man of the last century: Khalil Gibran. He said: "Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars."

You asked about the music. I like to listen to Armenian classical composer Aram Khachaturian. For his life-full compositions, intensive rhythm, and exotic approach. He was and still is a pearl of Armenia, despite that he was a member of so much hated Communist party.

Thank you for reaching out! Success with your research.(less)

Hello Ray,
I am so glad you wrote me, I didn't know you would reply :) I am also not sophisticated with the cyber world and being active in social media is unusual to me. I still have to learn a lot.
Being patient is nice - but of course, the author wants his/her books to be read and liked.

You asked me which of my books to read first.

I would suggest reading first "Love in Communism. A Young Woman's Adult Story". I wrote it from my heart. The main character is a girl who becomes a young woman. Some parts of her story will shock you or make you cry, somewhere you will laugh. Full spectrum of feelings.
I hope you will have an enjoyable reading and I am very curious about your opinion.
Kind regards,
Angelika

“The most important thing is to be at peace with yourself. What others think about you matters far less — true freedom begins when you no longer think about them at all.”
― Angelika Regossi

“Some people are like weeds — you must pull them out of the garden of your life to let yourself grow.”
― Angelika Regossi

“Go slower—you’ll go further. Beautiful things aren’t rushed. A garden, a book, a work of art… they grow with time, care, and heart.”
― Angelika Regossi

“A woman must have money and a room of her own if she is to write fiction.”
― Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own

“A woman should be like a great book—
the kind you can’t forget,
long after the last page.”
― Angelika Regossi

“Immigration teaches you to bend. Courage is remembering who you are.”
― Angelika Regossi
