Query on Soviet cinema

[Louis Proyect <lnp3@xxxxxxxxx>]

I was wondering if you could forward a query to the marxism list?  This
Fall I am teaching a course on Soviet cinema, and still looking for a
decent, *short* text on the history of the fSU.  As I'm sure you and others
know, there is a mountain of scholarship on the fSU, but much of it is
specific to the Stalin era or quite specialized (not to mention
over-determined by the Cold War).

As of right now, I am leaning towards using Fitzpatrick's history of the
Rev. (1917-37), and then for the later eras, supplementing that with some
pieces from Moshe Levin ("The Drive and Drift of a Superpower").

But I'd prefer to have a single volume (and avoid adding to an already huge
coursepack of photocopies), and I do need to keep the total pages for this
around 200, max.

Failing that, perhaps people could let me know of their favorite essays or
chapters on the post-Stalin eras?

Many thanks for the help.

Best,
