Russian Hollywood: Emigrants from the Russian Space and Their Descendants at the Dream Factory

Among the stars on Hollywood Boulevard are those honored by filmmakers of Russian origin in recognition of their outstanding contributions to cinema. Russian emigration has had a significant impact on many areas of world culture in the 20th and 21st centuries. Among those who came to the USA from the Russian Empire, the USSR, and the post-Soviet space, along with their descendants, were figures who played a noticeable role in all areas of the American film industry, receiving an Oscar or being nominated for it. These include the founders of major film companies, actors, directors, producers, composers, artists, makeup and costume masters. This is about them, about the 'Russian Hollywood', in the new book by Georgy Chernyavsky and Larisa Dubova.
