Morozov and Sholokhov

[Michael Denner]

Dear SEELANGers,

Apropos of the question about finding a film...
A very helpful resource for tracking down rare films is the Russian State
Documentary Film & Photo Archive , which has put their collection of 28,000
films in a searchable database:
http://www.russianarchives.com/rao/catalogues/rgakfd/catalog.html. The
collection's in Krasnogorsk (the suburb of Moscow, made famous in film
circles because it's the place where the K3 (Krasnogorsk-3) windup film
camera is made). The site lists a US phone number, so I suppose that, if one
asked nicely and paid lots of money, they'd make a dupe of a film & send it
anywhere.

In any case, I've used the site for filmography purposes (most films have a
short reviews), and the database is very useful & complete.

As for Rajzman's film, the database lists four entries:

 [17903]   ????????? ?? ?????? "????" ? ???????? ??????? ????. (1927)
 [5182]   ??????. (1945)
 [17351]   "?. ?. ??????????" (1948)
 [20372]   ??????. (1967)

So, it doesn't look like it has the one you're looking for. Still, you might
poke around the site or call the archive & see if they have it (the database
isn't complete yet).

Anyone have any experience working with them?

Best,
