Language, Food and Memory: Jewish Heritage and Identity in Soviet/Post-Soviet Times

Join Marina Sapritsky-Nahum and Alissa Timoshkina for a conversation with Nadia Ragozhina about the evolution of Jewish heritage and identity in Russia and Ukraine, and the influence of Soviet hegemony, anti-Semitism and migration. Sapritsky-Nahum and Timoshkina will look in particular at the role language and food culture have played in preserving heritage among communities as well as the new, post-Soviet Jewish traditions that have evolved through the diaspora experience of migration, adaptability, resilience and change.
