film company of I.G. Libkin

To Russian public sensibilities, unused to the sort of cheap erotica that could be found in any back-street cinema or theatre in the West, much of this appeared like cheap pornography (which no doubt much of it was). ... For example, the Provisional Committee for the Regulation of Theatrical Life in Moscow ordered the film company of I.G. Libkin to cut the scenes from its film Dark Forces in which Rasputin `gave a lesson in humility' to a group of society ladies in the baths. - Interpreting the Russian Revolution: The Language and Symbols of 1917
