Copies to Comrade Bogdanov and Comrade Lezhava
In connection with the projects put forward by Comrade Voyevodin and Comrade Lezhava, I authorise you to set up a commission chaired by you, consisting of Comrade Bogdanov, with the right of substitution, Comrade Lezhava, with the right of substitution, and Comrade Voyevodin—to examine the question of establishing a cinema industry in Russia.[1]
V. Ulyanov (Lenin)
Chairman, CLD
- ↑ The commission, set up on Lenin’s instructions, worked out the proposals included in the CLD decision of January 4, 1922, under which camera and film production was transferred from the People’s Commissariat for Education to the SEC
Later, on March 8, 1922, the CLD reversed the January 4 decision and approved the decision of the SEC Presidium of February 24, under which the SEC took over the production of finished and semi-finished products of the camera and film industry. The People’s Commissariat for Education remained in charge of the making of films and their distribution, the operation of cinemas and the slide business.
