Abstract
Fragmenting Soviet mythologies romantic imagery and musical films in UkraineFrom 1957 a big debate about romanticism was relaunched in the USSR, within which the issues of individuality, romantic feelings or relations between personal and social (or the state) were discussed. At the same time, in 1957, a huge television studio was built on the far Western margins of the USSR, which aimed at connecting the remote territories with the heart of the Soviet Union. Ten years after television arrived in Western Ukraine, from 1968 to 1971, Lviv Television Studio in cooperation with other Soviet Ukrainian studios, produced several musical films, which combined Carpathian highland landscapes with current sounds of the local Estrada. In the context of Soviet romanticism, they resembled media fairy tales and their plots intended to fragment previous tropes of Stalinist musicals.
