Associated Documents

"In 1987, on the coast of Svislacha, in Yanka Kupala Square, a group of artists gathered with posters in honor of Marc Chagall's anniversary. This action took place against the background of the anti-Semitic anti-Chagall campaign led by Mikhail Savitsky. The participants remember how furious Savitsky and other members of the Union artists together with a group of policemen came to the square and demanded to remove the paintings, and some even threw them into the river."
