Money question

[Anthony Anemone]

Recently in the archives I've come across Mosfilm contracts from 1950
paying, for example,  60,000 rr to an author for turning his own original
play into a literary screenplay and a director getting 15,000 rr for
turning the literary script into a director's script.  Can someone give me
a ballpark figure for what these amounts of money would have meant in 1950?


Thanks,
Tony
