Now, esthetic experiments were shoved off the agenda, and for over twenty years, Soyuzmultfilm, as the studio was called from 1936 onwards, worked in a taylorised way, using cel technique and division of labour.
Soyuzmultfilm, the former juggernaut of Russian animation studios (at one time employing as many as 400 animators and other staff), was beset by corrupt administrators who sold off all the rights to all the films previously made by the studio without telling shareholders or employees.
The legal director of Soyuzmultfilm kept a very low profile after having been beat up in an alley and forced to go to the hospital with injuries to the head, and during this period many documents were signed by Skulyabin illegally on behalf of Soyuzmultfilm.

Borsten then found copies of animated propaganda films made in the ‘20s and early ‘30s, before Soyuzmultfilm Studio was founded, including SOVIET TOYS, the very first Soviet animated film, which was made in 1924 by acclaimed documentary director Dziga Vertov.
Combined with the Soyuzmultfilm propaganda shorts, which were mostly made using Disney-style 2D animation, Borsten realized that collectively the animated propaganda not only chronicled the history of the USSR, but the history of Soviet animation’s artistic development.
