How the Beatles Rocked the Kremlin
I happened to catch a documentary on public television the other night called How the Beatles Rocked the Kremlin. Released in 2009, and directed by Leslie Woodhead, it has a provocative thesis: All that money and effort that the United … Continue reading
Le Fanu’s review of Bird’s book on Tarkovsky
One of the journal articles I retrieved at the library yesterday is a review of Robert Bird’s book Andrei Tarkovsky: Elements of Cinema. The review is by Mark Le Fanu and it’s in the current issue of Cinema Journal (vol. … Continue reading
My comments about Andrei Rublev, the film (first cut)
I regard Andrei Rublev as the “film of films.” I’ve seen, and own copies of, all seven of Tarkovsky’s feature-length films. Of course, all seven are strikingly original and memorable, but I think that in Andrei Rublev, Tarkovsky has created … Continue reading
How Andrei Rublev, the film, came to be (part 2)
[... continued from a previous post ...] Andrei Tarkovsky completed Andrei Rublev, or at least thought that he had, in August 1966. This (first) version of the film was actually titled The Passion According to Andrei and it is 205 … Continue reading
How Andrei Rublev, the film, came to be

Let’s perform a thought experiment. Let’s imagine that what happened to Russian philosophy after 1917 had also happened to Russian literature. This is Stanislav Dzhimbinov’s idea in his article, “The Return of Russian Philosophy,” in the aforementioned book, Russian Thought … Continue reading
George L. Kline
George L. Kline is someone you’ve likely never heard of, unless you have an interest in Russian philosophy. He is the Milton C. Nahm Professor Emeritus of Philosophy at Bryn Mawr College (where he taught for thirty-two years). I first … Continue reading
Sputnik!
On October 4th, 1957, my parents were six-week newlyweds living in a three-bedroom apartment at 603 East White Street, Champaign, Illinois. The rent was $68 per month, and that included heat and water. My mother was pregnant (with me – … Continue reading

Cold war propaganda
I can’t remember exactly when or how I, as an American kid, was first told that I should hate and fear the Russians and the Chinese. I mean, in so many words, straight up and in my face. But it … Continue reading
