"Soviet Screen" - a mass illustrated magazine, published in the USSR, and then in Russia with different periodicities from 1925 to 1998 (with a break in 1931-1939 and 1941-1957). The magazine covered domestic and foreign novelties of the cinema screen, the history of cinema, critical articles were published, creative portraits of actors and filmmakers were published. The first issue of the magazine was published on January 13, 1925. It was published as an appendix to the newspaper "Cinema" first under the name "Screen of cinema newspapers", and from March 24, 1925 - "Soviet Screen". At first it was a small book of eight pages. Gradually, the magazine increased the format, volume and began to be published weekly. With the first responsible editor Kirill Shutko, it reached a circulation of 35 thousand copies, and with Alexander Kurs - 80 thousand. At the end of 1929, the Soviet Screen was transformed into Cinema and Life. A new magazine appears at a time of intensification of the class struggle in the country, a tremendous upsurge in socialist construction, and the growing enthusiasm of the masses in the struggle for socialism. At the beginning of 1931 "Cinema and Life" was merged with the magazine "Cinema and Culture" and until the end of 1932 it was published monthly under the name "Proletarian Cinema". Since this unification, the theoretical magazine "The Art of Cinema" has been counting down. In 1939, the illustrated monthly magazine "Soviet Film Screen" began to be published (two-week in 1940, monthly in 1941), designed for film network workers and the mass audience. It was published until July 1941
