Russian Jews. Part Two. 1918-1948 is a documentary that chronicles three decades of Jewish life and influence in the Soviet Union. The film examines an extraordinary period when Jewish citizens participated prominently across government, arts, science, and culture—a phenomenon unprecedented in scale at the time. Spanning from the Russian Revolution through the post-World War II era, the film documents how Jewish intellectuals, artists, and officials shaped Soviet policy and cultural development during this transformative historical moment.
