Who Are You, Madame Blavatsky?

Helena Petrovna Blavatsky was a Russian mystic and founder of the Theosophical Society. Theosophy is the study of world religion/philosophy. Blavatsky was the first person to state that all world religions are from the same source. In the Victorian Age, this statement was heresy.

Critically acclaimed and appearing regularly on Russian television, Who Are You, Madame Blavatsky? was produced to vindicate the name and reputation of Helena Blavatsky for the Russian public. Because her writings were in English and censored by the Communist Party, this 1991 production is an important historical work - the first Russian film on her life.

Madame Blavatsky, her sister, cousin and her enemy, Mr. Soloviov - who smeared her name and reputation after her death - are brought to life by great Russian actors in a modern-day confrontation.The award-winning actress Irina Muraviova portrays Blavatsky with an uncanny resemblance to her in both appearance and spirit.

Filming took place in the house where Blavatsky was born as well as in India and a Mongolian Buddhist Monastery where areas and activities seldom witnessed by foreigners where filmed live.
