Více o knize

The narrative explores the golden age of Soviet animation through the lens of Jewish artists at the state-run studio Soyuzmultfilm, which became a refuge for political dissidents. Maya Balakirsky Katz highlights how these creators expressed their unique heritage and ethnic identity while fostering a cosmopolitan and multicultural vision within the context of the Soviet Union. Their work not only enriched the animation landscape but also provided a platform for diverse cultural expression amidst political constraints.
