Abstract

A bstr A ct The revival of Jewish culture in post-Soviet Moscow manifested itself in tremendous interest in Yiddish music among both Jewish and non-Jewish artists and viewers. Large-scale in their scope and original in their unorthodox interpretations, perfor- mances of Yiddish music filled the largest concert halls of Moscow in the early 2000s. What do the production, content, and reception of these shows teach us about post- Soviet Jewish identity? This article examines works by Efim Alexandrov and Alexan- der Tsaliuk, contemporary Russian artists who chose to devote their careers to the revival of Yiddish music in post-Soviet Russia.
