The collection also contains non-fiction titles, ranging from newsreels and travelogues to full-length documentaries. Most of the features in the collection are on 35 mm film and have not been subtitled; a number of films have English subtitles or English voiceover narration. These films represent the entire film library of Cultural and Educational Cinema, a longtime supplier of Russian language films to the academic community. The company, run by Jaroslav Rzhevsky and his wife, Sofia, purchased the films from Sovexportfilm, the Soviet film exporter, after viewing them at the Soviet consulate in New York; from the Soviet-film distributor Artkino Pictures; as well as at United States customs auctions. It exhibited films on a weekly basis up to the late 1980s at Russian-speaking venues, primarily in New York and New Jersey. Cultural and Education Cinema also operated an office-turned-theater on West 38th Street in Manhattan.
