ex-USSR nationalities in film (revised list)

[Edward M Dumanis]

I am thinking of "Bumbarash" with a substantial role of a Gypsy (Lyovka).
I do not know if this might be of interest to you, but when the Jewish
theater in Moscow was closed, they had a Roma theater in the same building
instead. I have heard that they played Roma plays in Roma there but I
cannot recall what kind of plays they performed.

Sincerely,

Edward Dumanis <dumanis at buffalo.edu>
