Video Description

Masha Gessen, a Russian-American journalist and LGBT activist, has focused her courageous prose on Vladimir Putin, the band Pussy Riot, and the terrorist Tsarnev Brothers. Gessen speaks about Where the Jews Aren't: The Sad and Absurd Story of Birobidzhan, Russia's Jewish Autonomous Region — her heartbreaking account of the attempt to create a homeland for Jews in the Soviet Far East in the early 20th century, and its implications for Russian Jewish culture today. Presented on September 22, 2016, by GC Public Programs, the Center for Jewish Studies, and CLAGS: The Center for LGBTQ Studies.
