The GULAG History Museum is publishing the 394th film of the My GULAG project — the story of the famous film scholar and leading expert on Eisenstein's work Naum Kleiman about his family's deportation to Siberia. The interview was recorded in Moscow in 2023. Naum Kleiman was born in 1937 in Chisinau to Ikhil and Sophia, a shoe designer and seamstress. His grandfather, Mendel Ikhilevich, was deported in 1941 with the first wave of deportations, when the Soviet authorities "cleansed the newly annexed territories of socially dangerous elements": Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Moldova, etc. Mendel Ikhilevich died in the camp a few years later. After the war began, the Kleiman family was evacuated — first to Uzbekistan, then to the Chelyabinsk region. In 1946, the family returned to Chisinau, and in 1949, Kleiman's relatives were deported to a special settlement in Siberia, to the small town of Gurevsk, as "socially dangerous elements." His mother sewed clothes, and his father worked in a cooperative. In exile, Naum graduated from high school. In 1955, the Kleimans were released from the special settlement. After his release, Naum Ikhilevich studied for a year at the Mathematics department of the Kyrgyz National University in Frunze (now Bishkek). In 1956, he entered the film studies department of VGIK, which he graduated from in 1961. In the following years, he worked as a research fellow at the USSR State Film Fund. He actively studied the legacy of Sergei Eisenstein, participated in the organization of the Scientific and Memorial Cabinet (apartment museum) dedicated to him, where he worked for many years as a curator. He was a scientific consultant on the reconstruction of Eisenstein's films, and compiled a collection of his selected works. For many years, he taught at the Daneliya Higher Courses for Scriptwriters and Directors. In 1987, Kleiman became the head of the museum department of the All-Union Creative and Production Association "Kinocenter". Since 1992 - Director of the State Central Museum of Cinema. He conducted courses, seminars and lectures on the work of Eisenstein and the history of cinema in New York, Berlin, Budapest, Calcutta, Los Angeles, Munich, Tokyo and Helsinki.
