  • The Cranes are Flying

    Josephine WollBOOKThe Cranes are Flying2003

    Arguably the first masterpiece of post-Stalinist cinema, "The Cranes are Flying" is an intersection of politics and art. A product of Khruschev's "Thaw", its sympathetic portrayal of human beings affected by World War II, and its highly individual style won awards worldwide. Josephine Woll examines questions of theme and genre, the controversial representation of heroism and the audience reaction to these issues, as well as production, content, s…

  • Invented Truth

    Nancy Condee, Josephine WollARTICLEThe Russian Review1994

    In the years of stagnation before glasnost changed the cultural map of the Soviet Union, Iurii Trifonov (1926-1981) defied the rules of censorship.

Woll analyzes the aest…

How have Soviet filmmakers responded to the challenges of glasnost? To answer this question, the American film scholar Andrew Horton and the Soviet critic Michael Brashinsky offer the first book-length study of the rapid chang…

    Josephine WollARTICLEThe Russian Review1984

    Any attempt to survey recent Russian 6migr6 prose is an exercise in frustration. There is too much of it, by too many authors, in too many different genres. At least a dozen 6migr6 journals regularly include belle-lettristic writing, and several publishing houses devote their lists, in whole or in part, to Russian literature of the last few decades. Emigration makes for bedfellows at least as strange as politics, and disparate works cannot be cra…
