Captivated at a young age by Russia, Marianna Tax Choldin immersed herself as a student at the University of Chicago in that country's language and culture. In her book she describes the tension between her strong commitment to freedom of expression and her growing understanding of Russian and Soviet censorship. Fluent in Russian, she travels widely in post-Soviet Russia, speaking with hundreds of Russians about their own censorship history. She writes of the close friendships she formed in Russia, and reflects on her Jewish roots in the country her family had left behind 100 years earlier.
Marianna Tax Choldin is a Russian scholar and librarian who studies censorship in imperial Russia, the Soviet Union, and post-Soviet Russia. Fluent in Russian, she has made more than 50 trips to Russia since 1960 and has traveled widely in the region, meeting with colleagues, curating exhibitions, and lecturing about censorship.
