Tatiana Gorbacheva Successfullly Defends Dissertation

I just received an SMS (text message) this morning. Tatiana passed successfully defended her dissertation. While she was with the doctoral/professors committee, no one was openly against her dissertation. But in secret voting, the tally was 13 yeas and 4 nays.

We were quite concerned because she does not really know most of the professors on the committee. (The composition of the committee was beyond her control.) And most of the professors were deeply shaped by the official atheistic ideology that was promoted by the communist Soviet Union.

Most excellent! The Gorbachevs (and I) are thankful for all your prayers.
