Interview 
of Leon Theremin (Lev Sergeyevich Termen) by Olivia Mattis
Bourges, France, 16 June 1989





Dear group,

I have been asked several times to share with you the text of the
interview with Leon Theremin I conducted in France in 1989, when he first
emerged from Russia after 51 years of state arrest. The interview was conducted 
in French and Russian; I asked questions in French (through an interpreter 
named Patrick Lemoine), and Theremin responded in Russian. The interview was
recorded by a French film crew, Camera 16, and the text was translated
into English by Nina Boguslawsky and Alejandro Tkaczevski.
