The article treats pre-history of the above Joint-Stock Company Sovki- no(1924-1930) in the social, cultural and history oriented period context. Creation of Sovkino was caused by the authorities effort to further centralize and own cinema industry. The new company was meant to consolidate film distribution in the Socialist Russian Federation, villages included, establish a film fund to show in workers clubs as well as a film fund for children.
