Historical Timeline
2001
- "We, the members of the International Film Critics' Jury, were delighted to hear that the support of FIPRESCI (along with the Cinématheque Française and the Berlin International Forum) played a significant role in saving the screening rooms of the Russian Film Museum in Moscow from threatened closure. As stated in the press release (June 28), the Minister of Culture, Mr. Mikhael Shvidkoy, officially announced government support to this historical institution, managed for fourteen years by Naum Kleiman."
