About the Author
Serge R. Pospelov
Serge R. Pospelov is a former Russian Army officer and author whose life experiences have shaped his raw and compelling storytelling. Born in Astrakhan, USSR, he graduated from the Penza Higher Artillery Engineering School and later from the St. Petersburg Artillery Academy. His years of service during Russia’s turbulent 1990s exposed him to a side of history few have lived to tell. He tells about a world of shifting loyalties, broken systems, and the struggle to hold on to humanity.
After facing wrongful imprisonment under suspicion of espionage and making a daring escape to Canada while under FSB surveillance, Serge began writing to make sense of the chaos he’d survived. His memoirs, History of Disease: Escape and History of Disease: Army, blend dark humor with sharp social insight, revealing the personal toll of political and moral decay.
In his latest work, The Rogue’s Confession, Serge dives into the brutal and hidden world of Russian mercenaries, pirates, and defectors; men trapped between violence and survival. His writing strips away propaganda and sentiment, replacing them with honesty, irony, and the unsettling truths of life under pressure.
Now living in Canada, he continues to write about the things most people prefer not to talk about. Our author speaks about war, corruption, freedom, and the choices that define who we become when everything else is taken away.
