metadata.value: The subject of this article is the film policy of the Soviet leadership in the period of “cold warming.” The
  term is used as a conditional-instrumental designation of the period — the second half of the 1950s to the late
  1970s, clearly manifested as a management style in which elements of “détente” in the field of culture, cinematography,
  which appeared much earlier than this phenomenon in international relations, continuously coexisted with
  an atmosphere of tension between the USSR and the USA. On the basis of a wide range of sources, including archival
  documents used here or are subjected to in-depth analysis for the first time, this article addresses political,
  ideological, institutional, media, and communicative aspects of Soviet film politics in historical dynamics, from
  Khrushchev’s “modernization” to Brezhnev’s “conservative appeasement”. The leading role of such structures
  as the USSR State Committee for Cinematography, film export organization, and Ideological Commissions of
  the Central Committee of the CPSU in following established traditions of state pragmatism is established. This
  was expressed in the opening of external information “gateways” on the principle of duality. Import and “free”
  transmission of foreign film production, the assumption of private and departmental interaction with Western,
  American cinema figures, the reception of “alien” artistic and administrative-organizational experience of improving
  the filmmaker, were interrupted by strict control, demonstrative strengthening of censorship, and control and
  supervisory activity of party-state structures to counter “bourgeois media attacks”. As a result, this led to the return
  of excessive ideological and political principles, the inertial construction of barriers, the re-conceptualization
  of figurative-visual stereotypes and dogmatic prejudices.
