Soviet Minister of Culture?[edit]

I have removed this prose added by an IP user in 2017:

In 1968, French culture minister André Malraux tried to fire Langlois by stopping funding of the project. Malraux had invited the Soviet Minister of Culture to Paris. Malraux suddenly requested Langlois to privately screen, at the Cinematheque at Palais de Chaillot, for the visiting minister, the original version of a movie—Octobre—directed by Sergei Eisenstein. Langlois had already programmed the entire week and told Malraux that he could not accommodate the demands of the Soviet minister and that the Cinematheque was not a governmental agency. As an answer, Malraux simply closed the Cinematheque and sent the police against protesters (March 1968, including almost all of the directors of the New Wave; Nicholas Ray was there in person as well.)

I found no evidence of this and have included references for the text with which I replaced it. Apparently Yekaterina Furtseva was Soviet Minister of Culture in 1968, if that helps anyone find a source. jnestorius(talk) 23:55, 10 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
