Abstract
This research activates an autoethnographic methodology to write, design and illustrate a graphic novel that considers themes of identity, theology (ideology + belief), and obedience. The research asks, “How might the graphic novel as a form of autobiography function to communicate tensions between freedom and love, and the constrictions of Russian communist society just prior to and after the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1991?”Description
