Overview
Arkady Ruderman (along with cameraman Yuri Gorulev) still shot his film about Chagall, but the figure of Chagall himself remained, as they say, "behind the scenes." At the center of the plot was the story of the dismissal of the editor of the Belarusian Soviet Encyclopedia, Irina Shelenkova, who did not agree with the gross falsification of data on the life and work of M. Chagall in an article for the fifth volume of the Encyclopedia of Literature and Art of Belarus, proposed for publication by the same V.Begun.
