Summary Drawing the Iron Curtain tells the story of the golden age of Soviet animation and the Jewish artists who enabled it to thrive. Maya Balakirsky Katz reveals how the state-run animation studio Soyuzmultfilm served as an unlikely haven for political dissidents and brought together Jewish creative personnel from across the land. These artists used the studio to depict distinctive elements of their heritage and ethnic identity, while articulating a cosmopolitan sensibility and a multicultural vision for the Soviet Union
