History
2025: Privatisation
On September 29, 2025, it became known that the state had sold its stake in Soyuzmultfilm Film Studio JSC. This is stated in the explanatory note to the draft amendments to the law "On the federal budget for 2025 and for the planning period 2026 and 2027."
The document says that revenues from the sale of federally owned property will grow by 1.12 billion rubles, which is mainly due to the income from the privatization of Soyuzmultfilm. Representatives of this studio confirmed to RBC the fact of the transaction, but refused to go into details, citing the fact that the transaction "contains information of limited access and is non-public." At the same time, the Ministry of Finance clarified that the stake in Soyuzmultfilm Film Studio JSC was implemented in 2025 as part of the execution of the order of the Government of the Russian Federation.
As the chairman of the board of directors of Soyuzmultfilm Yuliana Slashcheva told Vedomosti, the perimeter of the transaction did not include the rights to the "golden collection" of Soyuzmultfilm, which includes the most popular cartoons and cycles, such as Prostokvashino, "" Well, wait a minute!, "" Baby and Carlson, "etc. This collection belongs to the State Film Fund. Slashcheva did not disclose other details of the deal.
RBC notes that Soyuzmultfilm has been in the plan of privatization since 2009. In 2019, it became known that privatization is planned in the interests of Sberbank. But then the deal did not take place, since Sber later came under sanctions. In 2021, FSUE Soyuzmultfilm was transformed into a joint-stock company, the sole owner of which was the Federal Property Management Agency. The representative of Soyuzmultfilm then reported that it is planned to put up at least 75% of the studio's shares for sale, and the rest will remain in the ownership of the state.[1]

2014: Andrey Dobrunov head of the company. Plan to move to a new building
In March 2014, Andrei Dobrunov headed Soyuzmultfilm, replacing Valery Bakaev in this position. Then Dobrunov said that the repair of the new premises of the film studio would be completed in February 2015. The first project of the updated Soyuzmultfilm should be the film Suvorov.
In August 2014, it became known that the transfer of Soyuzmultfilm studio to the new premises was postponed to November 2015, to the opening - to 2016, studio director Andrei Dobrunov told Izvestia.
According to him, the new premises at Academician Korolyov Street, 21, even after major repairs, turned out to be unsuitable for modern film production. He said that it is necessary to "reconstruct the building with the summation of serious capacities." Now the building is being investigated and a reconstruction project is being prepared.
Dobrunov also said that Soyuzmultfilm's move to the new building is delayed due to a deal that has not yet been completed with the owner of the building, FSUE MKBK (Moscow Design Bureau of Cinema Equipment), which should also become part of the studio.
As of August 2014, the studio is located in the Church of St. Nicholas of Myra. In 1936-1937, the church was rebuilt as the Central Anti-Religious Museum, and in 1944 it was transferred to Soyuzmultfilm.
