Goskino
The USSR State Committee for Cinematography (Государственный комитет по кинематографии СССР Gosudarstvenniy komitet po kinematografii SSSR), or "Goskino", was the Soviet government body created in 1963 to regulate film in the USSR. It frequently censored directors such as Andrei Konchalovsky and Andrei Tarkovsky for works deemed too critical or depressing.
Goskino provides examples of the following tropes:
- Banned in the Soviet Union[1]
- Bluenose Bowdlerizer
- Censorship Bureau
- Censorship Tropes
- Complaining About Shows You Don't Like
- Culture Police
- He Panned It, Now He Sucks
- Media Watchdogs
- Moral Guardians
- ↑ And if you're a director who offends them once too often, Soviet Union bans YOU (from directing...you hope).
