My research is focused on representation of post-Soviet nostalgia in russian cinema. Three films released in 2018-2019 were selected as the subject of research. "Dovlatov", "Humorist" and "Leto". The theme of all three films - how creative person was living in USSR, how their identity was refracted and changed under the pressure of the Soviet political regime. My study is based on books and works of russian and foreigh researchers of post-soviet nostalgia. Also my research is based on works about movie analysis, like H. Corte for example. I am going to compilate analysis of cinema and researches of nostalgia to find out, how post-soviet nostalgia is represented in russian cinemas in contemporary.
