Though Troshin - a noted expert on the films of Hungarian director Miklós Jancsó - wrote a number of pieces for Hungarian film journal Filmvilág, he was best know as the founder and editor-in-chief of Russia's Kinovedcheskiye Zapisi (Film Science Journal). His reviews and articles also appeared in Iskusstvo Kino (Film Art), Sovietskiy Ekran (Soviet Screen) and Lityeraturnaya Gazeta (Literary Review).
Naum Kleiman, Moscow Film Museum director and an expert on Sergei Eisenstein, called Troshin's death "an irreplaceable loss for Russian film science."
Troshin was presented the Pro Cultura Hungarica award in 2002, on the occasion of his 60th birthday.
A representative from the Hungarian Culture Institute in Moscow will attend Troshin's funeral on Saturday.
