"Invading Russia: The Polar Bear Expedition" will take place on Wednesday,
May 9, at 7 p.m.

 

Near the end of World War I, U.S. soldiers were sent to Russia to help stop
the Bolshevik takeover. Today, American intervention in the Russian Civil
War is nearly forgotten in the United States--as is the fact that many of
the U.S. soldiers fighting there were Michigan men.
