American Israeli writer-actress Iris Bahr says she is fascinated with Russian culture and created Maksimovsrskaya (whose name grows weekly as an inside joke) over the years on stage, on screen and on air. At the invitation of KCRW general manager Ruth Seymour, Bahr has developed her into a regular radio character for \”Social Studies,\” a four-minute rapid-fire satire segment that runs locally on KCRW during NPR\’s \”All Things Considered.\”
