ABSTRACT

People are now attacking Sovkino, and along various lines. Here we must distinguish the institutionalline which has in this instance got mixed up with the story about the representative of a certain newspaper who went to Shvedchikov, who didn't receive him but threw him out. We must not forget that we are talking about cinema and not about matters that may be typical of other organisations as well. If we were talking about Bumtrest, then this would be equally inadmissible there. But we should not talk about this in the course of a discussion on cinema when none of it has any immediate significance for cinema.
