ABOUT THE EVENT

Michael Calvey appeared at Full Circle Bookstore in Oklahoma City for an intimate discussion and signing of his memoir Odyssey Moscow: One American’s Journey from Russia Optimist to Prisoner of the State. In front of a local audience, Calvey recounted the events that led to his arrest and imprisonment in Moscow’s Matrosskaya Tishina prison, offering a candid look into the intersection of global business, geopolitics, and personal resilience.

​

The event combined a public reading with audience engagement and a book signing, hosted in the warm, literary setting of Oklahoma’s largest independent bookstore. The evening provided a unique opportunity for attendees to hear Calvey’s reflections on the human and ethical dimensions of his story — from his early years in Russia to the legal battle that drew international attention.
