Yelena Khanga ((ロシア語:Еле́на Абдула́евна Ха́нга)), also known as Elena Hanga (born May 1, 1962), is a Russian-born journalist who was 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''.〔Eric Foner, ("Three Very Rare Generations" ) (review of ''Soul to Soul''), ''The New York Times'', December 13, 1992.〕 Khanga divides her time between New York City and Moscow.〔Patterson, Vanessa LeAnne, ("Khanga, Yelena (1962- )" ), BlackPast.org.〕 ==Early life==
An only child, Yelena Abdulayevna Khanga was born in Moscow to Abdullah Kassim, the first vice-president of Zanzibar (assassinated in 1964)〔Khanga, Y., & S. Jacoby (1992). ''Soul to Soul: A Black Russian American Family, 1865-1992''. New York: W.W. Norton, pp. 267-268.〕 and Lily Khanga (pronounced Han-ga), a historian and educator (née Golden), the daughter of an interracial couple from New York City. Yelena's American maternal grandmother was of Polish-Jewish descent and worked as 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 cousin of his father). Her African-American maternal grandfather, Oliver Golden, had a college degree in agronomy from the Tuskegee Institute but was unable to find any work in his field in the USA, and moved to the USSR (Uzbekistan) with his wife to develop the cotton industry there.
