tendriakov and hernnstadt

[Polly Jones]

Dear all
I have two queries, one for my own research and one on behalf of a Germanist
friend. I'd be very grateful for any help.

1. I am trying to track down some information about the 1962
Tendriakov/Ikramov play 'Belyi flag'; Mihajlo Mihajlov in 'Moscow Summer'
claims that the Central Committee stopped criticising the play after it was
well received in performance abroad, and mentions that it was put on in
Bratislava in either 1963 or 1964. does anyone have any idea of where I
could find out more about this production of the play, or indeed about
anything to do with the reception and performance of the play btw 1962 and
1964?

2. A Germanist friend is writing a paper on autobiography and one of her
subjects is the German writer  Irina Liebmann, whose mother was Russian;the
mother's married name was Valentina Herrnstadt (wife of Rudolf Herrnstadt, a
German
journalist and communist). She was a 'Germanist' (either a German teacher,
or a university lecturer), and they moved from Moscow to Berlin in 1945. Any
information about this person would be gratefully received.

If anybody has any information or pointers for either of the above, would
they please email me off-list?

Many thanks
Polly Jones
