In 1918, following the Revolution, Moscow became the capital of the Soviet Union, and it remained capital of the Russian Federation after 1991. Moscow’s status as capital, from 1918 to the present, more or less coincides with its life on the silver screen, since there are very few preserved filmic depictions of the city from pre-Revolutionary years. In the Soviet era, film often served propaganda purposes; therefore, the image of Moscow on celluloid echoes the political ambitions of the country, and film locations and settings reflect the cultural agenda of the times. \u003cem\u003eWorld Film Locations: Moscow\u003c\/em\u003e compares and contrasts images from the past and present, giving the forty-six carefully selected scene reviews and seven spotlight essays a historical focus. With an inside look at the city’s film studio, Mosfilm, the book is essential for all armchair travellers and cinephiles alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaps\/Scenes \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eScenes 1–6 – 1924–1928\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eScenes 7–13 – 1934–1946\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eScenes 14–19 – 1957–1966\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eScenes 20–26 – 1967–1980\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eScenes 27–32 – 1986–1992\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eScenes 33–39 – 1992–2000\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eScenes 40–46 – 2004–2012\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEssays\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMoscow: City of the Imagination – Birgit Beumers\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCinematic Journeys on the Moscow Metro – Birgit Beumers\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePalace of Soviets – Vincent Bohlinger\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eSites of Production and Demonstration – Birgit Beumers\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eUrban Poetics: Moscow in 1960s Films – Sergey Dobrynin\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eHousing Estates: Cheremushki on Screen – Sergey Dobrynin\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eMarginal or Central: Prostitution in Moscow – Emily Schuckman Matthews\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Intellect Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042260287831,"sku":"9781783201969","price":16.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781783201969.jpg?v=1750953669","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/world-film-locations-moscow-9781783201969","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
