Notes

1. This review uses the term ‘Russian cinema’ throughout as it is employed in the book. Designing Russian Cinema was published at the dawn of critical reevaluation of the term ‘Russian’ in the context of the Empire’s film production. For a discussion of categorisation in the context of national identity, see the editorial to Apparatus’s issue ‘The Haunted Medium: Moving Images in the Russian Empire’ (Chefranova et al. 2023).
