Berlin Calling USSR

Berlin Calling USSR

Conversation with Olga Grjasnowa, Yuriy Gurzhy und Marianna Salzmann (Berlin)

The story around 1989 reaches its climax in the celebrations on the 9th of November. But what about the countries on the other side of the wall? What was, and still is, the impact of the upheavals in the former Soviet Union on people's private lives? In some places, new disputes over land and identity have led to bloody pogroms – up to the present day. Olga Grjasnowa, Yuriy Gurzhy and Marianna Salzmann examine the upheaval in the early 90s in their respective countries of birth: Azerbaijan, Ukraine and Russia.
