History[]

A poetry festival near the most famous Pushkin Monument on Pushkinskaya Square in 1984. Rossiya Cinema can be seen in the background.

Since the early 1960s, it was the largest cinema hall in Europe and the main cinema hall of the USSR. The Rossiya Cinema was built in 1961 and became the largest of its kind in Europe. The cinema has always hosted major events, such as the Moscow International Film Festival.
