Lenfilm (Russia)

Background: The history of the studio started in 1908 when Vladislav Karpinsky created his Omnium-Kino at Kino-Aquarium in St. Petersburg. After the revolution (in 1918) all the studio's property was nationalized and Aquarium facilities passed into Sevzapkino (North-western regional photo and film administration). In 1924 the factory renamed Leningradkino and through other names, came to Lenfilm in 1934. Lenfilm Studio became one of the best known Soviet movie companies, and it was the second biggest production entry in former Soviet Union (after Mosfilm). The famous logo, depicting the Bronze Horseman statue in St. Petersburg (formerly Leningrad, hence the name), was introduced in 1966, though Lenfilm has other logos before it.
