Flightfrom USSR
The novel is based on themost tragic and scandalous story of Soviet Georgia of 1980s. Seven young people
hijacked an airplane to
escape from Soviet Union, which was an exceptionalaction, because at that time even a thought of escaping from Soviet Union was
criminal!
The soviet Government condemned most of theseyoung people to death for their naive even if dangerous attempt.
The public Opinion was split. A part of thepublic considered the youngsters to be just ordinary terrorists. The other part
would argue
that living under the Soviet Regime was so unbearable that thiscould even justify the hijacking of a plane.
Flight from USSR gives an opportunity to thereader to closely follow the leading characters, and learn more about their
motifs and
intentions than it would be possible by just reading dry courtdocuments.
Flight from USSR was staged in Georgian FreeTheatre and is one of the most successful plays.
