Jocelyn Stoller, who organized the trip for us, translator Anya Kucherev, and Carol Daniels, an American filmmaker. Apart from Djuna, the key people in the Soviet party were our host, Andrei Berezin, a biophysicist from the Academy of Sciences, and his film crew. (Agazumson was not present.) Figure 2 shows Berezin seated between Djuna on the right, Elisabeth Targ on the left, and Russell at the far left. |

Also present was Joseph Goldin, an enigmatic and courageous Soviet impresario who had been sent to a psychiatric prison two years previously, for creating a real-time video satellite ''space bridge." This space bridge had included young people playing music in Red Square who were able to see and talk to similar happy folk at a park in San Francisco through the medium of video screens. The Soviet police argument was: "Anyone who would do such a thing in the USSR in 1982 must be crazy." It was akin to a failure of reality testing. Fortunately, Joseph had many friends and was released from prison after a few months. It was he who had found Djuna for us after we had turned down the offer of Nicholaev. |
