On December 11, an exhibition dedicated to the 100th anniversary of VGIK opened at the library of the School of Slavonic and East European Studies at University College London, supported by Rossotrudnichestvo.

The school was founded in 1915 by R. V. Seton-Watson as a department of King's College London and was inaugurated by Tomáš Garrigue Masaryk, who later became the president of Czechoslovakia. In 1932, it became part of the University of London, no longer affiliated with any college.

The school employs over 60 faculty members engaged in teaching and research in the fields of history, economics, politics, sociology, anthropology, culture, literature, and languages of Central, Eastern, and Southeastern Europe and Russia. In the 2012/2013 academic year, the school had over 200 graduate students pursuing master's degrees or conducting doctoral research, as well as more than 600 undergraduate students.

Founded in 1915 in London, the School of Slavonic and East European Studies at University College London is one of the largest centers for the study of Slavic culture. It boasts a rich library with over 400,000 volumes. Among its most valuable exhibits are the Sobornoye Ulozhenie of 1649, rare editions of works by Mikhail Lermontov, Fyodor Dostoevsky, and Leo Tolstoy, as well as the archives of theater critic Alexander Amfiteatrov and lawyer and politician Alexander Meindorf.
