About this audiobook
Iskander Musabekov's memoir offers a personal view of Uzbekistan's theatrical and cultural life during the Soviet era. Recalling his work overseeing Uzbek theatres, he traces a life shaped by political surveillance and the changes from Stalin's rule to independence. Translated into English by his son, Bakhram Musabekov, these recollections preserve a family's memories and introduce listeners to a lesser-known chapter of Central Asian history.
