PHJ № 2 (34) 2022 — I. A. Karpenko. A NEW IMAGE OF AN OLD HERO. PREPARING FOR THE FILMING OF MOVIE “ALEXANDER NEVSKY” IN 1952–1953 IN LENINGRAD

In the article the influence of state ideology on film production, on the example of preparing the script for the new movie “Alexander Nevsky” in 1952–1953, is examined. The article based on the complex of materials from Central State Archive of Literature and Art of St. Petersburg. These documents make it possible to trace how state ideological guidelines regulated the content of a work of art and ordered its authors to put ideology and clichés into the script and dialogues. The project proposed to Lenfilm by the USSR Minkino was supposed to work towards creating a correct view of both historical and contemporary events. One of the most interesting components of the documental complex is the recommendations of bureaucrats on how to understand and interpret the history of the 13th century in a historical perspective. On this basis, the filmmakers had to create a new image of the national hero.
