Why Study Perestroika Cinema? Arseniy Moiseenko Explains

A new episode of the podcast "History is Just Beginning" has been released. This episode features Arseny Moiseenko, a researcher at the Center for the Study of Ego-Documents "Prozhito" and a research fellow at the European University's Faculty of History.

In this conversation with Arseny, we explore:

• How the relationship between authorities and filmmakers evolved during the late Soviet period

• How film production was reorganized and what the "new general framework" for managing cinematography entailed

• And whether cinema truly became freer during perestroika

The episode is available on the European University's YouTube channel.
