metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The article presents a comparative analysis with narratological positions of two documentary
  films about L. Trotsky produced in Russia and Germany. It reveals the interrelation of
  structural and cognitive aspects of the nonfiction film text, particular implementation of the
  principle of polyphonic narration, and narrative strategies of an author. The only the dihegic
  narrator is a grandson Vsevolod (Esteban) Volkov, who was a real witness of the last years of
  the life of Trotsky. In the Russian film he acts not only as an eyewitness to two assassination attempts
  on the grandfather, but as a hero, a survivor at 14 years of a drama that operates on the viewer (“narrative of emotions”). In the German film, the authors deliberately did not focus
  on this character, E. Volkov appears only three times, his narrative statements are informative,
  but not psychologically expanded, and therefore “poorer” in the cognitive terms. However, in
  the German film, the through-line is quotations from the memoirs and journalistic texts of
  Trotsky and two chronicle cinema citations. In both cases, the non-dihegic narrators are the
  author and the characters who retell the information from different sources: Russian, German,
  French, Mexican, and Ukrainian experts-historians or publicists. In both films, the author is
  more active as a narrator than character-experts who often assesses, rather than just retells,
  certain events in the history of the hero. The differences in the implementation of the author’s
  intention are explained by the cognitive factors: the story of the hero in the Russian film is told
  more emotionally because the hero, as he emphases the dihegic narrator-character, appears
  more human; in the German cinema narrative about Trotsky, the events themselves and the
  modern European point of view are presented.
