Abstract
ABSTRACTPart of a special issue devoted to the centenary of the Film Institute VGIK, this article investigates the figure of Nikolai Iezuitov (1899–1941), one of the founders of Soviet film studies. His book The Paths of Fiction Film (Puti khudozhestvennogo fil’ma, 1934) was the first ‘history of Soviet cinema’. Its brevity and popular approach should have been overcome in his fundamental work History of Soviet Film Art (Istoriia sovetskogo kinoiskusstva), which was never published. Despite Iezuitov’s significant role in the history of domestic cinema, we have merely some articles. This article, based on archival material, collates information about Iezuitov and attempts to supply detailed factological material for researchers of the history of Soviet cinema.
