Abstract
The article is devoted to the initial stage of the Cold War, when the ideological confrontation between the two powers was still in its infancy and was only looking for forms of its embodiment. The author examines the image of the Soviet Union in the American cinema of 1946-1953. The author analyzes what elements formed this image, in what it was expressed and by what means it was created. The USSR was represented as bloody, and the Soviet people were fanatical and unprincipled. An important place in the article is occupied by the construction of the image of the enemy. It is created artificially as a product of propaganda and has the following features: the division of the world into “friends” and “strangers”, the exaltation of “friends” and the humiliation of “strangers” and the exaggeration of virtues and vices. An attempt is made to explain the mass character of films of such subjects and the emphasized demonization of the image of the country of the Soviets.
