Reviews

Katz has written a very important book exploring an area of popular significance but little scholarly attention. --David Shneer University of Colorado-Boulder


A superbly researched treatise that will be of keen interest to readers of Soviet history, Jewish studies, and film history. Students of animation will take particular delight in the detailed explorations of Yuri Norstein's famous film Tale of Tales and of Cheburashka, the phenomenally popular character also known as the Soviet Mickey Mouse. - Library Journal
