Soviet Cinema: Archival Documents from RGALI, 1923-35

 

Order Background

Advisor: Richard Taylor, Swansea

Material from the Russian State Archive of Literature and Art (RGALI), Moscow

The documents in this collection cover the period when state monopoly control over the Soviet cinema industry – production, distribution and exhibition – was being established and this is why they cover a number of different organizations and institutions. They include minutes of board meetings and discussions of the major issues confronting the medium during a crucial period in its development. The subjects covered deal not only with internal organisational, thematic and ideological matters, but also with external trade relations. These files will be of interest to anyone researching the history of Soviet culture in general and that of ‘the most important of the arts’ in particular, in both its domestic political and ideological context and in the light of the changing international political and economic background.

This record will contain EAD finding aids.
