[Apologies for cross-posting]

Dear Colleagues,

I am pleased to announce a video interview with Igor Mel'čuk.  The
interview was done by Ian Mackenze.  Ian has published papers with
Professor Mel'čuk, and he is also a professional film maker (see
rimba.com).  The film is copyrighted by Ian and can only be used for
non-commercial purposes. It is a little over two hours long, and it is
unedited.  Ian and I both agree that the interview works well as is.
The first hour is on lexicology, and the second is about Igor's
personal history.  It describes his experiences growing up in Stalin's
Russia, and working as a translator years later for Andrei Sakharov.
I found his history fascinating, and I am grateful to Ian for working
on this!  Here is the URL: https://vimeo.com/manage/videos/817783236

The interview mentions a letter by Professor Mel'čuk that was
published in the New York Times.  I asked him if he had a copy of it,
and that copy can be found at:
