Russian Central Studio of Documentary Films

Background
The Russian Central Studio of Documentary Films was a newsreel and documentary production company founded in 1927 originally as a division of Sovkino. The studio underwent several name changes throughout the 20th century, being Soyuzkinochronika from its founding year to 1931, All-Union Newsreel Factory from 1931 to 1936, the Moscow Newsreel Studio from 1936 to 1940, the Central Newsreel Studio from 1940 to 1944, the Central Studio for Documentary Films from 1944 to 1993, and lastly its current name since the latter year. During the 21st century, the studio was on the verge of bankruptcy before liquidating in 2015.

Logo: The camera slowly backs away from a shooting line filled star with a outline and the Spasskaya Tower inside. Further away from the star, its large shadow is shown alongside a dark background in the same effect as the shape's fill. Once it stops zooming out, the company's full name in a serif font and with a shadow effect fades in below.

Technique: Cel animation and practical effects.

Music/Sounds: A cold chimes jingle repeated twice.

Music/Sounds Variant: There is a later arrangement of the normal soundtrack.
