Russian literature about migrants

[Molly Thomasy Blasing]

Dear Olga,

I would recommend Teatr.doc's production Akyn-opera (Акын-опера), which
featured the story of three migrant workers from Central Asia, and was
awarded a special jury prize at the 2014 Golden Mask festival.  You can
read more about the project here.  You will also find excerpts from the
production on YouTube.

Best wishes,
