Custodial History
After the theater had been closed down, its archive was moved to the GosudarstvennyÄ teatral'nyÄ muzeÄ im. Alekseia Bakhrushina, where it was stored (without being catalogued) along with the archives of other closed theaters, such as the KamernyÄ teatr and the MoskovskiÄ khudozhestvennyÄ teatr VtoroÄ. In the night of January 6-7, 1953, a major fire broke out in the small room in which the archives of these discredited theaters were kept. The documents suffered considerable damage, and many were destroyed. The materials that survived were transferred by order of the Committee for the Arts of the Council of Ministers of the USSR first to the collection of the Main Archives of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and then (in 1959) to the Central Archives of Literature and Art (TsGALI), which is now the Russian Archives of Literature and Art (RGALI).
History Note
The history of the Moscow State Jewish Theater (GOSET), founded in 1919, reflects not only the most inspiring artistic achievements but also the successes and failures of Soviet nationality policy.
The Jewish Theater first opened in Petrograd. In 1920 it was relocated to Moscow where it became the Moscow State Jewish Chamber Theater (MoskovskiÄ gosudarstvennyÄ evreÄskiÄ kamernyÄ teatr or GOSEKT). Later it was renamed as Moscow State Jewish Theater (GOSET). During the 1920s GOSET received much political and financial support from the state. The Theater soon developed into the most important, and after the Second World War the only centre of the official Yiddish culture in the USSR. Although left-wing art of the 1920s positioned itself to a significant degree as non-nationalist, GOSET combined avant-garde devices with national themes. In 1929 Solomon MikhoÄls was appointed as the theater's new director. MikhoÄls was highly regarded not only in theatrical circles. Broad Jewish masses saw him as their representative and intercessor with the authorities. GOSET did not remain a favorite of the party-state leadership for long. In return for state support, the Soviet regime imposed its own ideological conditions. The press and the notes written by censors reveal the authoritiesâ official reaction to the problem of the Jewish theater and, indirectly, to their relationship to Jews as a whole. By the end of the 1940s, anti-Semitism had become government policy and repressions were carried out on a national scale. In 1949, following the murder of MikhoÄls, GOSET was closed down as part of the "struggle with cosmopolitanism."
During the 30 years of its existence, some of the greatest Jewish writers, actors and artists of the 20th century have worked at the Theater, including Marc Chagall, Isaak Babel', Peretz Markish and Solomon MikhoÄls. In this period, GOSET produced ca. 80 plays.
