Abstract
The article discusses the pre-revolutionary newsreel that has come down to the present, which, in fact, is the result of the process of visualization of the surrounding reality, a new stage of which began with the advent of filming equipment. The peculiarity of this process was the abundance of filming of Tsar Nicholas II and the entire Imperial Family, which, from the point of view of their authors, had an important sacred meaning, intertwined with the need to promote the activities of the Tsar and the Court. One of the earliest surviving pieces of footage, related to the Sarov celebrations of 1903, testifies to the meaning and significance of this newsreel. The surviving chronicle films of that time are visual evidence of various aspects of the life of the Russian Empire, the country that has sunk into oblivion.
