Africans in Russian literature and film

[Irina Servais]

We shouldn't forget an old film with Vladimir Vysotsky playing Hannibal in blackface in "Как Петр Первый арапа женил".

Dear John,
 
Also Balabanov's film "Zhmurki" (Жмурки) and Panin's film "Vnuk kosmonavta" (Внук космонавта) feature Russian Africans.

Svetlana Grenier's mention of Marshak's "Mister Twister" reminds me of the animated version of it made in 1963. It can be found on disk one (entitled "American Imperialists") of the four-disk set "Animated Soviet Propaganda" (I bought a copy through amazon.com, but I know that it is also available through netflix). On that same disk, there is also a short animated film called "Black and White" from 1933 that highlights racial inequality in the US. 
 
Best, 
Sara Stefani

Dear Colleagues, 

Some of my students are doing a research project on the depiction of Africans in Russian literature and film, as well as their treatment by society (I realize the enormous nature of this task, but I am hoping they will begin to scratch the surface of it and perhaps remain interested in minority depictions and treatment in Russia after the class).  I have given them a few places to begin, but I was wondering if any of you knew off the top of your head some good sources.  I have already pointed them to Circus and Pushkin, as well as many works of Socialist Realism, but are there any others that you know of that would be good sources?  I am thinking in particular of a documentary about Pushkin and Jim Patterson, but I can't remember the name of it.  Thanks for any help you can give!

Sincerely,
John Lyles
