Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Tamizdat Project is a public scholarship and philanthropic organization dedicated to the study of exile and cultural displacement, state censorship and banned or endangered books from the Cold War to the present, with a focus on the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe. This story is not just history, it is still unfolding. On our website, and through a series of live events and other programs in NYC and beyond, we bring archival discoveries, eyewitness accounts, and other forms of knowledge about banned books to the international community of students, scholars, and the general public.
