Abstract
The topic of the article is the reflection of the person of I.V. Stalin in Soviet newsreels (newsreels and documentaries, special issues of newsreels, documentaries) in the period from 1930 to mid-1941. Based on a content analysis of a pre-made sample of film documents stored in the Russian State Archive of Film and Photo Documents, the author traces the evolution of Stalin’s screen image from one of the prominent party functionaries – Lenin’s comrades-in-arms to the sole leader of the Soviet people. The subject of a detailed analysis are little-known fragments of newsreels, in which the historically accurate audiovisual image of Stalin, the content and manner of his public appearances make it possible to give a more accurate and objective assessment of not only his personality, but also a number of important historical collisions of the USSR during the Stalin period.
