Michaela Boehmig. Das Russische Theater in Berlin 1919-1931 (Arbeitenund Texte zur Slavistik, LIX). München

"Russian Berlin," the term refers to the magnificent, albeit short-lived period in the 1920s when the more than 300,000 Russians in Berlin turned that city into the literary capital and intellectual focal point of Russian cultural life, was rediscovered in the 1980s by a handful of German and American scholars. Michaela Boehmig has turned her attention to one of the more fascinating and least studied aspects of the period: the Russian theater. Boehmig leads her readers through a careful and thorough introduction to the people and places of that era, from its infancy in 1919-21, the glory years
