The result was   redirect to State Committee for Cinematography. I have as a temporary measure boldly added TWilkerson's information to the article on State Committee for Cinematography, and redirected this to there. I urge TW or whoever is interested to expand this. I notice the weakness of the ruWP articles for these bodies, so this will require more than translation.  DGG ( talk ) 01:26, 25 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Comment The link to Lenfilm is correct, according to the Russian wp article. Presumably it's not mentioned in the English article because there were many different names but I'd rather they were all included, being likely search terms. Perhaps they could be hidden by default. Can't see anything on the Russian dab page ru:Совкино (значения) about the alleged Ukrainian studio, but there do appear to be some villages by this name. Siuenti (talk) 21:38, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment While there should almost certainly be an article at this title, neither of the current disambiguation links is entirely satisfactory. The GBooks links make it clear that Sovkino was the main film production and distribution organisation in the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic from 1924 to 1930, succeeding Goskino (not to be confused with the far later State Committee for Cinematography) in that role and replaced by Stalin in 1930 with the all-USSR Soyuzkino. While what later became Lenfilm was one of its main film production facilities, it was not the only one - what later became Mosfilm was another. So far as the Ukrainian animation studio link is concerned, I can find no trace of that studio outside mirrors of this article, and suspect that it results from misinterpretation of sources - Sovkino seems to have made animated films (among many others) but it never seems to have had studios in the Ukraine and had been abolished by the claimed 1930s date.
