Holdings on the History of Russian and Soviet Cinema

Prepared for use in 016E:175 The History and Politics of Russian and Soviet Film

Prof. Paula A. Michaels

Fall 2002

 

This bibliography is far from cumulative, but it is a good sample of the kinds of books the library holds that are of direct relevance to this course.  There are, of course, hundreds more articles as well as books that touch indirectly on the issue of Russian and Soviet film history.  This document is only meant as a starting point in your research.

 

I realize it would be far more useful if it was arranged chronologically by subject, but I was not able to rearrange it before the semester began.  For now, it is arranged in alphabetical order by author.  It shouldn’t take too long, however, to skim through the titles and get a sense of what’s out there.  Once you have a topic for your research paper you can go through it more carefully and, of course, you must do additional searching on your own to turn up further sources.

 

Finally, this was generated with Endnote 5, which has problems downloading transliterations from Russian and does not format everything properly.  I plan to make corrections, but for now you have to make due with it as is.  Your own bibliographies for your research papers should not follow the erratic style here, but the conventions of the Chicago Manual of Style.
