Dear SEELANGers!

So, every book on Russian cinema has somewhere, on the overleaf or the
back cover or in the first paragraph, a quote from Lenin about cinema
being the most important of all arts. In all the books I have on Russian
cinema (in Russian and in English), there's not a single citation for
that quote. I'm beginning to think it apocryphal.
