Angels over Moscow

Juliette Engel recounts her experiences working in post-Soviet Russia to improve maternal and child healthcare while uncovering extensive human trafficking networks.

She details the formation of civic coalitions, data-driven investigations, and efforts to press Russian authorities and international bodies to act.

Engel connects her investigative work to broader themes, including her own history as an MK-Ultra survivor and the intersections of trafficking with global institutions.

The narrative blends medical, political, and personal testimony to reveal systemic abuses and the challenges of confronting them.

Engel also documents the fallout from international reactions and attempts to suppress civic anti-trafficking initiatives.
