While many histories of diplomatic, economic, and intellectual connections between the United States and the Soviet Union can be found, none has yet examined how Americans’ encounters with Russian/Soviet society shaped their representations of a Russian/Soviet ‘other’ and its relationship with an American ‘west.' The essays in this volume critically engage with postcolonial theories which posit that a self-valorizing, unmediated west dictated the colonial encounter, repressing native voices that must be recovered. Unlike western imperialists and their colonial subjects, Americans and Russians long co-existed in a tense parity, regarding each other as other-than-European equals, sometime cultural role models, temporary allies, and political antagonists. In examining the fiction, film, journalism, treatises, and histories Americans produced out of their ‘Russian experience, ' the contributors to this volume closely analyze these texts, locate them in their sociopolitical context, and gauge how their producers’ profession, politics, gender, class, and interaction with native Russian interpreters conditioned their authored responses to Russian/Soviet reality.

The Soviet Union’s rapid disintegration into Russia and breakaway republics in the west and the east, coupled with the import of shock therapy capitalism, heralded the United States as the victor. Yet the regional hot wars and economic crises that have rocked the United States since the Cold War rendered any declaration of American triumph premature and simplistic. The troubled aftermath of the Cold War demonstrates how important it is to dismantle the binary oppositions that American national agencies honed to demonize the Soviet enemy-evil empire versus bastion of freedom, totalitarianism versus liberal democracy, centralized command economy versus the free market.}, Doi = {10.4324/9780203082102-4}, Key = {fds361816} } @misc{fds326419, Author = {Hashamova, Y and Holmgren, B and Lipovetsky, M}, Title = {Transgressive women in modern Russian and east European cultures: From the bad to the blasphemous}, Pages = {1-216}, Publisher = {Routledge}, Year = {2016}, Month = {January}, ISBN = {9781138955578}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.4324/9781315666259}, Abstract = {Investigating the genesis of the prosecuted “crimes” and implied sins of the female performing group Pussy Riot,the most famous Russian feminist collective to date, the essays in Transgressive Women in Modern Russian and East European Cultures: From the Bad to Blasphemous examine what constitutes bad social and political behavior for women in Russia, Poland, and the Balkans, and how and to what effect female performers, activists, and fictional characters have indulged in such behavior. The chapters in this edited collection argue against the popular perceptions of Slavic cultures as overwhelmingly patriarchal and Slavic women as complicit in their own repression, contextualizing proto-feminist and feminist transgressive acts in these cultures. Each essay offers a close reading of the transgressive texts that women authored or in which they figured, showing how they navigated, targeted, and, in some cases, co-opted these obstacles in their bid for agency and power. Topics include studies of how female performers in Poland and Russia were licensed to be bad (for effective comedy and popular/box office appeal), analyses of how women in film and fiction dare sacrilegious behavior in their prescribed roles as daughters and mothers, and examples of feminist political subversion through social activism and performance art.}, Doi = {10.4324/9781315666259}, Key = {fds326419} } @misc{fds366775, Author = {Goscilo, H and Holmgren, B}, Title = {Polish Cinema Today A Bold New Era in Film}, Pages = {382 pages}, Publisher = {Rowman & Littlefield}, Year = {2021}, Month = {August}, ISBN = {9781793641663}, Abstract = {Structured according to key themes, Polish Cinema Today analyzes the remarkable innovations in Polish cinema emerging a decade after the 1989 dissolution of the Soviet bloc, once its film industry had evolved from a socialist state enterprise into a much more accessible system of film production, with growing expertise in distribution and marketing. By the early 2000s, an impressive, diverse cohort of filmmakers broke through the gridlock of a small set of esteemed, aging auteurs as well as the glut of imported Hollywood blockbusters, empowered by the digital revolution and domestic audience appetite for independent work. Polish directors today challenge sacrosanct bromides about national and gender identity, Poland's historical martyrdom, the status of the influential Catholic Church, and the benevolent family, while investigating the phenomena of migration and sexuality in their full complexity.

Sontag argues that the actress’s memoir functions as a mere “source” undeserving of acknowledgment and ripe for creative manipulation. As she remarks in one inteview: “I don’t consider Modjeska’s memoirs the work of a writer. So what interests me is the transformation. She’s the source of my character and you can use a sentence that’s exactly the same because it is from her words.” Indeed, Sontag resists characterizing her work as historical fiction, despite the fact that she exploit the outline of Modjeska’s biography and quotes directly from the actress’s letters. I rebut Sontag’s devaluation with a general consideration of the actor’s memoir as literary genre, an overview of Modjeska’s ambition and evolution as a writer, and an analysis of Modjeska’s roleplaying, modes of narration, and dramatically shaped plot in Memories and Impressions. In lieu of dismissing Modjeska as source, I read her as author, and posit Modjeska’s remarkably enduring influence on biographers and fiction writers fascinated with her life story (Sontag is the latest and perhaps the most famous of the actress’s posthumous fans), an influence Modjeska effects through complex self-characterization (the sensitive maiden/ambitious, iron-willed star), shifts between enlightened frame narrator and the quoted confessions of her letters and diary, and the suspenseful stories (all with happy ends) of her professional debuts and bold adventure overseas. In ironic consequence, the writer Sontag’s award-winning non-historical fiction redounds to the actress Modjeska’s writing credit.}, Key = {fds298000} } @article{fds298006, Author = {Holmgren, B}, Title = {Review of Knut Andreas Grimstad & Ursula Phillips, ed.

Her triumph under the Americanized name of Modjeska at the California Theater in August 1877 led to almost three decades of American stardom and critical acclaim as the greatest American Shakespearean actress of her day. Yet American and Polish theatre historians have yet to analyze how this accomplished player managed a bi-national career up until her death in 1909. Modjeska did not abandon Poland for America, but discovered that the United States best served her professional and patriotic aims, garnering her greater fame and fortune as an English-language performer and enabling her national service in advertising Polish artistic genius abroad and underwriting Polish theatre at home. This essay explores how Modjeska retained and enhanced her Polish stardom by distancing herself from her homeland and perfecting both overseas and incountry modes of playing the faithful patriot. © 2010 by The Johns Hopkins University Press.}, Key = {fds298016} } @article{fds184168, Author = {B.

Invaded by the Germans in June 1941, the Soviet Union ceased being the Third Reich’s willing partner under the terms of the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact and became the Allies’ most important, neediest ally, suffering the brunt of the Germans’ attack along the war’s lone European front. 1 Because this enemy-turned-ally remained suspect to the American public, the Roosevelt administration, through its new Office of War Information, appealed to the film industry to improve Russia’s image, “to humanize [its people] and whitewash Stalinism.” 2 After decades of caricaturing or demonizing the Soviet Union, Hollywood somehow had to sell American moviegoers a sympathetic and compelling Soviet experience.}, Doi = {10.4324/9780203082102-12}, Key = {fds361815} } @article{fds361817, Author = {Goldovskaya, M and Chatterjee, C and Holmgren, B}, Title = {An Interview with Marina Goldovskaya, a “Russian American” Filmmaker}, Pages = {199-204}, Booktitle = {Americans Experience Russia: Encountering the Enigma, 1917 to the Present}, Year = {2013}, Month = {January}, ISBN = {9780415893411}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.4324/9780203082102-20}, Abstract = {In many ways, Marina Goldovskaya’s visual oeuvre and the trajectory of her life echo the major themes of this volume.

In their best, most influential incarnation, Qui pro Quo (1919-1932) and its successors, these literary cabarets violated the right's value system through their shows' insistent metropolitan focus, their stars' role-modeling of immoral behavior and parodic impersonation, and their companies' explicitly Jewish-Gentile collaboration. In the community of the cabaret, which was even more bohemian and déclassé than that of the legitimate theater, the social and ethnic antagonisms of everyday Warsaw society mattered relatively little. Writers and players bonded with each other, above all, in furious pursuit of fun, fortune, celebrity, artistic kudos, and putting on a hit show. This analysis details how the contents and stars of Qui pro Quo challenged right-wing values. Its shows advertised the capital as a sumptuous metropolis as well as a home to an eccentric array of plebeian and underworld types, including variations on the cwaniak warszawski enacted by comedian Adolf Dymsza. Its chief female stars-Zula Pogorzelska, Mira Zimińska, and Hanna Ordonówna-incarnated big-city glamour and sexual emancipation. Its recurring Jewish characters-Józef Urstein's Pikuś and Kazimierz Krukowski's Lopek-functioned as modern-day Warsaw's everymen, beleaguered and bedazzled as they assimilated to city life. Qui pro Quo's popular defense against an exclusionary nationalism showcased collaborative artistry and diverse, charismatic stars. © 2012 Sage Publications.}, Doi = {10.1177/0888325412467053}, Key = {fds298012} } @article{fds298009, Author = {Holmgren, B}, Title = {The Lives of Secret Others}, Journal = {East European Film Bulletin}, Year = {2013}, Month = {August}, Key = {fds298009} } @article{fds297988, Author = {Holmgren, B}, Title = {Russia on their mind: How hollywood pictured the Soviet front}, Pages = {105-123}, Booktitle = {Americans Experience Russia: Encountering the Enigma, 1917 to the Present}, Year = {2013}, Month = {December}, ISBN = {9780203082102}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.4324/9780203082102}, Doi = {10.4324/9780203082102}, Key = {fds297988} } @article{fds305621, Author = {Holmgren, B}, Title = {Helena Modjeska on the American Stage}, Pages = {2-3}, Publisher = {The Helena Modrzejewska Theatre in Krakow, Poland}, Editor = {Litak, A and Kurylczyk, B}, Year = {2014}, Month = {February}, Key = {fds305621} } @article{fds305620, Author = {Holmgren, B}, Title = {"Nadezhda Mandelstam"}, Booktitle = {YIVO ENCYCLOPEDIA OF JEWS IN EASTERN EUROPE}, Publisher = {Yale UP}, Editor = {Hundert, GD}, Year = {2014}, Month = {February}, Key = {fds305620} } @article{fds318869, Author = {Holmgren, B}, Title = {"Cabaret Identity: How Best to Play a Jew or Pass as a Gentile in Wartime Poland"}, Journal = {Journal of Jewish Identities}, Volume = {July 2014}, Number = {Issue 7, number 2}, Pages = {15-33}, Publisher = {https://www.press.jhu.edu/journals/journal_of_jewish_identities/guidelines.html}, Year = {2014}, Month = {July}, Key = {fds318869} } @article{fds318870, Author = {Holmgren, B}, Title = {Cabaret Identity: How Best to Play a Jew or Pass as a Gentile in Wartime Poland}, Journal = {Journal of Jewish Identities}, Volume = {7}, Number = {2}, Pages = {15-33}, Publisher = {Project MUSE}, Year = {2014}, Month = {July}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1353/jji.2014.0014}, Doi = {10.1353/jji.2014.0014}, Key = {fds318870} } @article{fds318871, Author = {Holmgren, B}, Title = {Collecting the Show on the Road: Spotlight on Anna Mieszkowska and the Polish Cabaret Archive}, Journal = {The Polish Review}, Volume = {59}, Number = {4}, Pages = {3-20}, Publisher = {University of Illinois Press}, Year = {2014}, Month = {December}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.5406/polishreview.59.4.0003}, Abstract = {<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title> <jats:p>The article introduces and then gives a transcription of an interview with Anna Mieszkowska, an archivist at the Polish Academy of Sciences who specializes in collecting materials relating to Polish cabaret of the interwar and wartime era.

In the interview, Mieszkowska chronicles her efforts to document prewar and émigré cabaret. She began her research tentatively in the 1980s, despite the inattention given by Polish theater studies of that time to cabaret and official disapproval. Mieszkowska’s research and related travels became easier after the fall of communism, but more urgent due to the advancing age of surviving performers. The interview also touches on Mieszkowska’s personal engagement with her subjects and their surviving friends and family, the place of cabaret in Polish culture, and comparison of Polish cabaret traditions with those of other countries, ending with an appended list of significant cabaret artists.</jats:p>}, Doi = {10.5406/polishreview.59.4.0003}, Key = {fds318871} } @article{fds327648, Author = {Holmgren, B}, Title = {From the legs up: The rise and retreat of the chorus girl in interwar Poland}, Pages = {13-29}, Booktitle = {Transgressive Women in Modern Russian and East European Cultures: From the Bad to the Blasphemous}, Year = {2016}, Month = {January}, ISBN = {9781138955578}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.4324/9781315666259}, Doi = {10.4324/9781315666259}, Key = {fds327648} } @article{fds342729, Author = {Holmgren, B}, Title = {Tending Andersland: The Calling of Feliks Konarski and Nina Olenska}, Pages = {513-528}, Booktitle = {Diaspora polska w Ameryce Polnocnej}, Publisher = {Muzeum Emigracji w Gdyni}, Editor = {Raczynski, R and Morawska, K}, Year = {2018}, Key = {fds342729} } @article{fds341992, Author = {Holmgren, B}, Title = {The Cabaret Song: Its Multi-Ethnic Pedigree and Transnational Adventures, 1919-1968}, Booktitle = {Being Poland A New History of Polish Literature and Culture since 1918}, Publisher = {University of Toronto Press}, Editor = {Trojanowska, T and Nizynska, J and Czaplinski, P}, Year = {2018}, Month = {October}, ISBN = {9781442650183}, Abstract = {Being Poland offers a unique analysis of the cultural developments to take place in Poland over the last one hundred years.}, Key = {fds341992} } @article{fds342728, Author = {Holmgren, B}, Title = {Holocaust history and jewish heritage preservation: Scholars and stewards working in pis-ruled Poland}, Journal = {Shofar}, Volume = {37}, Number = {1}, Pages = {96-107}, Publisher = {Project Muse}, Year = {2019}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1353/sho.2019.0004}, Abstract = {This short essay presents an analytical update of how scholars, curators, and stewards are responding to the xenophobic climate and nationalist censorship being generated by the current Polish government under the rule of the right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) party.
