During the mid- to late-1920s cinema flourished in the Soviet Union. The advantages of using film as a propaganda tool for the largely illiterate masses were not lost on the government, who supported the burgeoning film industry. These Soviet films soon gained an international reputation through feature-length masterworks such as Battleship Potemkin.
The previous building burnt down in 1834 and the current one was completed by 1870. It was built in the Neo-Gothic style which was fashionable then. One part survived the fire, Westminster Hall, which dates from the 12th Century.
