Jane CostlowWhat I want to note here is that a particularly helpful outcome of this
> lengthy discussion would be a list of potential readings, films, etc.,
> that we as teachers might use to frame discussions on the issues that
> have been raised here.Adding to Curt Woolhiser's excellent list (I agree that Sova is a particularly good source of factual information collected by an excellent organisation) there is a Russian film which has tried to address (in a mainstream film) some issues regarding racism in Russian society. It is called 'Gagarin's Grandson' and was reviewed in Kinokultura

Of course, the much harder hitting 'mockumentary' (for want of a better term) 'Russia 88' about skinhead violence and Russian neo nazis by Pavel Bardin is the other film that immediately springs to mind
