RUSS 38.29 Surviving Totalitarianism: Jewish Ukrainian Writers and Translators in Soviet Ukraine

This course explores the Jewish contribution to, and integration with, Ukrainian culture. It focuses on the writers and poets of Jewish descent whose literary activities span the 1920s-1990s. These creative individuals, and often public and political figures, embraced the Ukrainian community dominated by Russian Soviet authoritarianism, incorporating their Jewish concerns in their Ukrainian-language writings and/or translations from Yiddish (Hebrew) into Ukrainian and vice versa.
