About event
The phenomenon of refuseniks carried a lot of meaning for Soviet Jewry. “Les Interdits” tells stories about communities of refuseniks, about tragedy of the private life being inextricably intertwined with external pressure of social institutions. The screening of the film will be followed by a conversation with Mikhail Anatolyevich Chlenov, who will speak about what it meant to be a refusenik in the USSR, and about connections between such phenomena as refuseniks, dissidents, and emigrant culture.
