Alexander Galich's play, this story of a family from a small Jewish town who happened to live in cruel times when the human in man became outlawed, had an amazing and difficult fate. The play has been banned for more than twenty years. The Sovremennik Theater could have opened with it, but the Soviet censors did everything to prevent the play from reaching the audience.
