Abstract Details

2005, Master of Arts, Ohio State University, Slavic and East European Studies.
For centuries Russia and the West were engaged in relations that varied from positive to negative depending on economic, social, and political conditions. The process of Westernization strongly affects Russia at the present time, and the interaction of the two cultures leads to an altering of Russian cultural values. The aim of this thesis is to demonstrate that the matter of preserving Russian national identity became urgent at the beginning of the 21st Century. This thesis analyzes two contemporary films and examines how Russia and the West are presented. Both films glorify the time of Imperial Russia and the idea of Russia’s unique culture. While one director depicts the mingling of Russia and the West in a positive way, another director views Russians as superior to other nationalities. Both films open a discussion about the influence of the West on Russia’s national identity by emphasizing the importance of preserving Russian culture and its values.
