Roma Shatrov is the founder of the Silent Cape Nature Park in Sakhalin. Irina Grudova identifies as Ainu, an indigenous group on Sakhalin. Roma is obsessed with Ainu history and culture and has dedicated the Silent Cape to preserving their memory. Irina is a local Ainu activist, and is skeptical of such outsiders looking to exploit her heritage. Yet Roma and Irina instantly hit it off, and formed a strong bond over their mutual love of the Ainu. Rusana Novikova brings us a story about the romanticism and self-discovery at the heart of Irinia and Roma’s complicated friendship, and its potential promise for Ainu and Russian relations.

Ainu Fever was written, produced and edited by Rusana Novikova. Sean Guillory did additional editing. 

Thanks to Roman Shatrov and Irina Grudova for participating.

Professor Deborah E. Lipstadt, Dorot Professor of Modern Jewish History and Holocaust Studies at Emory University, will speak about ‘Holocaust Denial: A Flat Earth Theory or a Clear and Present Danger?’

Holocaust denial, the attempt to deny that the Third Reich engaged in the annihilation of approximately six million Jews, has been depicted as a serious threat to historical truth. Others have dismissed it as the equivalent of the theory that the earth is flat, i.e. absurd, illogical, and unworthy of serious consideration. In this presentation Professor Lipstadt will explore these two contradictory perspectives on Holocaust denial. In addition, she will explore the difference between “hardcore” or traditional Holocaust denial and the more recent phenomenon of “soft core” denial.
