Discussion | Homage to the Memory of Alexander Galich at 90

Wednesday, November 4, 2009, 6:30 pm

Free

A special evening devoted to the memory of Alexander Galich, influential dissident bard; together with Bulat Okudzhava and Vladimir Vysotsky, he was considered one of the three outstanding masters of the genre.

Dr. Gene Sosin and Gloria Donen Sosin, both writers and specialists on Russia, will describe their memories of working together with Alexander Galich at Radio Liberty in the 1970's and travelling with him in the U.S. and Israel after he left the Soviet Union.

They will also present a DVD produced in Moscow in 1988. In addition to footage of Galich's performances and excerpts from films for which Galich wrote screenplays, the documentary includes short interviews with his friends: Andrei Sakharov, Elena Bonner, Andrei Sinyavsky, Viktor Nekrasov, and other members of the cultural elite.

Galich died in Paris in 1977, and is buried in Sainte-Genevieve-des-Bois, the Russian Orthodox Cemetery located south of the city. His gravestone marks his birth as October 19, 1919.
