Abstract

The rich history of Russian animation, spanning over a hundred years, is interesting not only from the point of view of cinematography, but also as an illustration of the interactions between filmmakers and the Soviet regime. In this article, I examine animation as a space where censorship was less vigilant. Most notably, beginning with the first sound cartoon (The Post, 1929, by Michail Tsekhanovsky), film directors invited the collaboration of distinguished composers. For many academic composers who were out of favor with the regime, work in the film industry was the only way to earn a living, gain access to listeners, and explore new creative approaches.
