This biography came into being after extensive research in Moscow,
Berlin, Paris, New York, and Los Angeles. The author is the first
to analyze Eisenstein's diaries and correspondence' materials that
were inaccessible in the past. Eisenstein's relations with
Freemasons, Rosicrucians and Stalin, with rivals and admirers, with
psychoanalysts who treated him are no longer faded out. Was
Eisenstein homosexual? A Stalinist? A conformist? A dissident? He
left no clear answers for his biographers. Oksana Bulgakowa's study
of Eisenstein's life tries to uncover these themes in his films and
drawings, between the lines of his diaries and letters, in his
drafts to screenplays, projects, and research. Late in life
Eisenstein viewed this research as his only possible means of
salvation from the compromises he had consciously made with himself
and his creativity. Oksana Bulgakowa (b. 1954) graduated from the
Moscow Film Institute VGIK in 1977. In the same year she moved to
Berlin/GDR and received her doctoral degree from Humboldt
University in 1982. She works as an author, editor, translator, and
filmmaker. Since 1998 she has been a visiting professor at Stanford
University, USA. For further information go to
