  4. ↑ For Sunday, March 28th 1976, 8 pm, the first broadcast of the radio play “The Ascent to Fudschijama” based on Tschingis Aitmatov's latest stage play was announced in the program magazine “FF-Hier” for the cultural program “Radio DDR II”. The radio play was produced in January 1976 with a top-class cast - including Jutta Hoffmann , Kurt Böwe and Jürgen Hentsch - directed by Peter Groeger and with radio play music by Reiner Bredemeyer . But on the said Sunday evening, the evening speaker briefly warned the audience of a change in the program and was offered a repeat of Alexander Gelman's production piece “Minutes of a Meeting”.
    The original broadcast of the Aitmatov drama “The Ascent to Fudschijama” had been banned at short notice by an instruction from the SED Central Committee. When the chairman of the radio committee, Rudi Singer , referred to the fact that Aitmatov's text had appeared as a book in a selection of Soviet time pieces in 1975 by the GDR publisher Volk und Welt, the Central Committee replied that the release for a book still meant Far from saying that the work can be distributed in a mass medium.
    The tapes with the radio play staging disappeared in the safe of the then head of the radio drama department - Hans Bentzien . He and the staff involved in the production were reprimanded. In the midst of the Brezhnev Doctrine, Aitmatov's memories of the grave injustice of the Stalin era were not intended to reach a wide audience. It was not until after the fall of 1989 that the production had its actual radio premiere on the radio of the GDR on December 20, 1989. Before that, the play had its GDR premiere at the theater in January 1986 in the Schauspielhaus Leipzig with a ten-year delay.
