High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Yelena Khanga (Russian: ; also known as Elena Khanga) was born in 1962 and raised in Moscow, USSR, and came to the United States in 1990 to write (with Susan Jacoby) Soul to Soul: The Story of a Black Russian American Family: 1865 - 1992). Khanga divides her time between New York City and Moscow. The daughter of Abdullah Kassim (onetime vice president of Zanzibar) and Lily (a historian and educator; maiden name, Golden) Khanga (pronounced Han ga), her American maternal grandmother, of Polish Jewish descent, was a Russian-English translator for a Soviet news agency. She also claimed to be distant relative to well-known violinist Arnold Steinhardt (her grandmother was the cousine of his father). Her African-American grandfather, Oliver Golden, had moved there with a college degree in agronomy from the Tuskegee Institute but was unable to find any work in his field, and moved to Uzbekistan to develop the cotton industry there.
