The Tamizdat project will support students affected by the war

International Scientific Project Tamizdat Project Inc. The manuscripts do not burn a two-month campaign in support of bachelor students who are forced to leave their countries due to the full-scale war of Russia against Ukraine, or because of persecution of anti-war views in Russia and Belarus.

On January 30, two charitable book auctions will be held in New York and the fundraising campaign will start.

Rare books are put up for the auction-the first editions of the “smuggled” literature due to the iron curtain, as well as the books of emigrant authors who published in the West during the Cold War. About 300 publications with autographs and inscriptions of more than a hundred authors are offered.

All proceeds will be distributed between students received by undergraduate programs in the United States.

Tamizdat Project is devoted to the study of banned books from the USSR and the countries of the former social camp. Project manager-Associate Professor of the New York Hunter College Jacob Klots.
