Abstract

The aim of the article is to identify the main features that make up the image of women in the military-patriotic cinema about the Great Patriotic War on the big screens of the USSR in 1954–1964. In recent years, the interest of scientists (sociologists, historians, art historians and culturologists) in the study of the problems of the reflec-tion of the historical past in cinema art has grown tremendously. The study briefly analyzes feature films made by Soviet directors during the Thaw. Based on the methods of visual anthropology and imagological tools, the image of a Soviet woman in the war is defined, as well as the features of its representation that correspond to the historical realities of the era of liberalization of public relations. It was during the Thaw in Soviet cinema that the approach to the military genre was changed: now in the foreground are not monumental ideological values, not the relief heroism of war films of 1941–1945, but the victims and hard-ships of war, trials and hardships, the destroyed destinies of millions of Soviet people.
