Kinoteatr Pobeda, Movie theater in Moscow, Russia.
Kinoteatr Pobeda is a movie theater in Moscow, housed in a Soviet-era building with a neoclassical facade. It has several screening rooms fitted with modern projection equipment.
Kinoteatr Pobeda opened in 1957 in a building designed by Ivan Zholtovsky, a Stalin Prize laureate, using the same standard design as the Slava cinema. It originally had two halls of 420 seats each. In June 2000 it closed for renovation and reopened on 1 November 2000 with the Red and Blue halls. Since 2014 the Blue hall has housed a puppet theater.
The name "Pobeda" (Victory) was given to the cinema opened in 1957, twelve years after the end of World War II. Since 2014 the building has been shared: the Blue Hall belongs to a marionette theatre, while the Red Hall continues to screen films. The interior design was by Pavel Kaplevich, with wall painting supervised by Pavel Parkhomenko and Alexei Shaboldaev.
For popular evening screenings, buying tickets ahead of time is a good idea, as seats tend to fill up quickly. Visitors with specific accessibility needs should check what facilities are available before making the trip.
The 1957 building was designed by Ivan Zholtovsky, a Stalin Prize laureate, and its plan is based on Palladio's 16th-century palace in Vicenza. The same standard design was used for Moscow's Slava cinema. A shooting gallery once occupied the basement.
