New Digital Exhibition: Tamizdat@Stanford
The Russian acronym tamizdat literally means ‘published over there’, i.e. on the other side of the Iron Curtain – is generally used to indicate Soviet, Central and Eastern European texts that were banned in the Eastern Bloc, clandestinely smuggled out and published in the West during the Cold War. Explore this new addition to SUL's digital exhibitions which features these uncensored texts, realized by CREEES visiting scholar Ilaria Sicari, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, in collaboration with Anatol Shmelev, Katharina Friedla and Barbara Krupa, Stanford University.
