Čyrvonaja Zorka Cinema, Cultural heritage movie theater in Mogilev, Belarus.
Čyrvonaja Zorka Cinema is a brick building at Pervomayskaya Street 14 in Mogilev, built in 1930 by engineer E. Loser in the constructivist style. Its plan is an elongated rectangle joined perpendicularly to a ticket hall and a semicircular vestibule. On the main facade, the wide glazing of the vestibule contrasts with a blank vertical wall and the low volume housing offices. The main entrance on the end facade is reached by a broad staircase.
Built in 1930 by engineer E. Loser on the site of the pre-revolutionary "Chary" cinema of 1909, it is Mogilev's oldest cinema. It opened on 24 December 1930 with a screening of "Perevorot" by Yuri Tarich of Belarusfilm. Destroyed in the Great Patriotic War, it was restored in 1948 and reconstructed in 1954.
The name means Red Star in Belarusian. The cinema opened on 24 December 1930 with a screening of "Perevorot", directed by Jury Tarieč for the Belarusfilm studio, so the first programme shown here was Belarusian-made. The building stands on the site of the pre-revolutionary "Čary" cinema of 1909 and is listed in the State Register of Historical and Cultural Values of Belarus.
The cinema screens both classic and contemporary films throughout the week on a regular basis. Visitors are advised to check the program in advance to see what is being shown during their visit.
The building showcases early Soviet constructivist design principles that prioritized function over ornament. This approach was pioneering for its era and later influenced how many Soviet structures were built across the region.
