The second lecture in the Fall 2025 Havighurst Center colloquium series, "Soviet Propaganda: History and Legacy," will feature Lisa Kirschenbaum, who will talk about the 1935 road trip taken by two famous Soviet satirists to the United States.
Professor Kirschenbaum's research explores how people come to represent and understand their life stories as part of history, focusing on the linkages between individual, private lives and the momentous, often traumatic events of Russia's twentieth century. She has published three books: Small Comrades: Revolutionizing Childhood in Soviet Russia, 1917-1932 (RoutledgeFalmer, 2000); The Legacy of the Siege of Leningrad, 1941-1995: Myth, Memories, and Monuments (Cambridge University Press, 2006); and International Communism and the Spanish Civil War: Solidarity and Suspicion (Cambridge University Press 2015).
