Goskino

Goskino was the Soviet government agency responsible for overseeing and managing the film industry from 1919 to 1991. It coordinated film production, distribution, and censorship to ensure movies aligned with state ideology and socialist values. Goskino played a key role in promoting Soviet culture through cinema, controlling content to reflect government policies, and supporting both artistic expression and propaganda. While it sought to foster film artistry, its primary focus was on maintaining ideological control within the Soviet Union’s cinematic output.
