The Russian Guild of Film Critics (Russian: Гильдия киноведов и кинокритиков России) is a Russian organization of professional film critics, headquartered in Moscow. Beginning in 1998, the guild began conferring annual awards in several categories. The awards were called the "Golden Ram" or "Golden Aries" from 1998 to 2004, then, beginning in 2005, the name was changed to "White Elephant".[1]

The guild belongs to the Union of Cinematographers of the Russian Federation, a non-government organisation,[2] and has been a member of FIPRESCI since 1999.
