Mosaic of Jewish Fates. 20th Century

The collection includes essays about Solomon Mikhoels, Nathan Altman, Ilya Ilf, Vasily Grossman, and other well-known and lesser-known individuals. Some worked in literature and art, while others were connected to theater, cinema, journalism, or politics. The author traces how state pressure, wars, and ideological campaigns affected professional work and personal decisions. A separate place is occupied by repressions, political persecutions, the destruction of the Jewish Anti-Fascist Committee, and the doctors' case.
