The first sub-series - "Film" - comprises periodicals and archival material dating from the first decades of Russian cinema (1907-1940). The second - "Theater" - is devoted to Russian and Russian-Jewish theater history. The third - "Entertainment and Leisure Activities" - contains journals that reflect the changing lifestyles of the emerging middle class of pre-Revolutionary Russia. The fourth - "Mass Media" - has a more outspoken diachronic dimension. It includes the highly successful collection Gazety-Kopeiki, as well as lifestyle magazines and children's journals from various periods. The fifth sub-series - "Everyday Life" - focuses on the hardship of life under Stalin and his somewhat more liberal successors. Finally, the sixth - "High Culture/Art" - provides an exhaustive overview of the historic avant-garde in Russia, Ukraine, and Central Europe, which despite its elitist nature pretended to cater to a mass audience.
