My Address is Solovki: The Trap

1991 · 21 min · Documentary

The events of 1935–36 sent scientists, cultural figures, and Comintern workers to Solovki. Instead of a realm of free labor, there were prisons and camps; instead of blue socialism, there was the tyranny of petty Macbeths at the bottom of the camp hierarchy. This is a short documentary about Les Kurbas, a Ukrainian playwright.

Directed by Leonid Anichkin
