metadata.value: The article looks at the institutional history of cinemas at the beginning of Russia’s twentieth century. With provincial
  Perm as its backdrop, it examines the transformation of the “Cinema of Attractions” into the cinema of “Narrative Integration”—
  a time when temporary movie settings changed into theaters built in the Empire style and c inematographers themselves developed
  the idea of “movie production—distribution agencies—cinemas”. While members of the lower middle class as well as merchants
  from within and without owned Perm’s cinemas, peasants, tradesmen, and saving and loan societies opened cinemas in
  areas surrounding the city. As movie-going became popular, emotion itself became a product, and marketing involving brands and
  advertising infiltrated the amusement industry as well. Interactions with representatives of the authorities, meanwhile, involved
  issues of fire safety, censorship, and taxation policy. The number of electro-theaters in Russia grew together with the “peaceful atmosphere”
  in the society after the 1905 Revolution. Later, during the First World War, movie-going became a universal way to hide
  from reality and to distract oneself from times of stress. The statistics surrounding cinemas, their numbers of attendees and their
  profitability for example, clearly illustrate the social promotion of movie-going in Russia at this time
