Eugene Kabileh

Posted on April 2, 1998June 20, 2022 by Village Vidiot

“Eugene Kabileh, A Photographer for Stalin,” 2 April 1998, video.  Screened for Jewish Film Festival. Very interesting interview biography with famous Soviet photographer who took pictures in WWII and post-war years. Jewish communist, a true believer, he nonetheless experienced acute discrimination due to Soviet anti-Semitism. Oddly, it ends in 1972 with his firing from Pravda for being Jewish, and you don’t find out what he’s been doing for the past 25 years No sense of what happens to his family (wife and kids). Still, interesting if a bit sentimental.
