Abstract

Introduction. The research problem lies in the absence of a comprehensive analysis of the transformation of the patriotic cinematic image of women and its connection with socio-political, demographic, and cultural changes in society. The aim of the study is to identify the dynamics of the patriotic female cinematic image from the 1890s to the 1980s and its relationship with socio-political and demographic processes. The scientific novelty consists in introducing the image of the female patriot, presented in domestic films and TV series, into sociological discourse, reflecting the sociopolitical, socio-demographic, sociocultural, and public agenda in a temporal perspective. The materials and methods. The study utilized materials from the 1890s to the 1980s, available on the websites Film.ru, IMDb, KinoPoisk, and in the archive of the Russian State Film Fund. The research was conducted using methods of quantitative-qualitative content analysis, discursive interpretation, comparative-historical, visual, narrative, hermeneutic, and comparative analysis. The results. The representation of the patriotic female cinematic image on the domestic screen undergoes a process of transformation. The female embodiment of a patriot evolves through a series of changes: from a woman-internationalist, a bearer of Soviet patriotism in military-heroic and labor dimensions, in historically socioculturally marked images of the past, in specialized professions and fields, to a subject of individual consumption. Discussion and conclusion. The practical significance of the work lies in the potential use of its results for developing conceptual approaches to creating a modern image of women based on traditional values. The research logically continues with an analysis of the topic from the 1900s to the present day.
