Sparrow Hills
In 1927 the construction of a new film studio complex began on Mosfilmovskaya Street in Sparrow Hills of Moscow. This film studio was named after the "Moscow amalgamated factory Soyuzkino "Tenth Anniversary of October Revolution"". In 1934 the film studio was renamed to "Moskinokombinat", and in 1936 was relaunched uner the "Mosfilm" brand, the name it carries till today. During World War II the film studio personnel were evacuated to Alma-Ata (August 1941) and merged with other Soviet production units into the "Central United Film Studio" ("TsOKS"). The Mosfilm personnel returned to Moscow at the end of 1943.
