With more movie screens than any nation at any time, the Soviet Union’s cinematic legacy helped shape the artistic and social agenda of the socialist world for most of the Twentieth Century.

Literaturnaia gazeta (digital archive)
|
| Resources available on a personal device - Registered Readers |
|
|
Established on April 22, 1929, Literaturnaia gazeta focused on literary and intellectual life. It allowed Soviet Russia’s pre-eminent authors, poets, and cultural figures a particular podium for commentary, affording perhaps fewer restrictions than might be possible in other publications. Literaturnaia gazeta was considered the most open among newspapers of the Soviet era, and it remains popular among the intelligentsia in today’s Russia.
Publication of Literaturnaia gazeta was completely suspended in 1942 and 1943, and no issues were produced. In 1944, only 8 issues were published. The lack of database content for this period is not a gap, but reflects the publication schedule during these challenging years.
