Ukrainian article about Pandora's Box which pictures film stars Louise Brooks and Francis Lederer

In the course of my ongoing research into the world-wide presentation of the films of Louise Brooks, I have found that that they were shown in what is now Ukraine, which during the silent and early sound era was unwillingly part of Russia (aka the former Soviet Union dba the U.S.S.R.) The results of my research will be published later this year in Around the World with Louise Brooks.

One archive that I have been able to explore is LIBRARIA, the Ukrainian Online Periodicals Archive.Just the other day, it went offline, but then returned. And what's more, the archive has opened itself up and visitors may conduct unrestricted searches. I would encourage everyone to check it out, even if you don't read Ukrainian or Russian, as it can be interesting just to browse. One publication to begin with is KINO magazine, which I wrote about earlier in "The Glories of Ukraine's KINO and Chwila film magazines."

In an earlier post, I mentioned that I also did a search for Louise Brooks' name in Cyrillic "Луїза Брукс", and found a thumbnail image, which I was unable to access in a larger format due to earlier restricted, Ukrainian-only, viewing policies. With those policies lifted, I was able to view and copy what I found. It is an article about Pandora's Box (I believe), and pictures the film's stars Louise Brooks and Francis Lederer. It stands as my best Ukrainian find.

I posted this blog because I support a free and independent Ukraine, whose existence is being threatened by Vladimir Putin and his Russian gang. Hey Putin, the Soviet Union is gone. Get over it. The world hates you.
