The Library of Congress system has been used throughout, with the following exceptions: when a Russian name has an accepted English spelling (e.g. Tchaikovsky instead of Chaikovskii; Chaliapin instead of Shaliapin), or when Russian names are of Germanic origin (e.g. Eisenstein instead of Eizenshtein; Schnittke instead of Shnitke). I have also used the accepted spelling for Mariinsky (instead of Mariinskii) Theatre, and for the names of tsars or emperors (e.g. Nicholas instead of Nikolai; Alexander instead of Aleksandr). Where a source is quoted, the original spelling has been preserved.

I would like to thank May Yao, Jessica Mitchell and Matthew Floyd at Intellect Books for their enterprise in launching this new series of KinoSputnik, and I am hugely indebted to Richard Taylor, Denise Youngblood and Julian Graffy for their trust and support. My special thanks go to Nathalie Muller at Idale Audience for allowing me to view Francofonia, and to Natal'ia Chertova in Moscow for her kindness and inspiration.

This series intends to examine closely some key films to have emerged from the history of Russian and Soviet cinema. Continuing from KinoFiles (20002010), the KinoSputniks are intended for film enthusiasts and students alike, combining scholarship with a style of writing that is accessible to a broad readership. Each KinoSputnik is written by a specialist in the field of Russian and/or film studies, and examines the production, context and reception of the film, whilst defining the films place in its national context and in the history of world cinema.
