This book explores a new character archetype that permeated Soviet
film during what became known as the era of Stagnation, a stark
period of loneliness, disappointment, and individual despair. This
new type of character was neither negative nor positive, but
nevertheless systematically undermined Soviet norms of behaviour,
hairstyle, dress, lifestyle, and perspective, in stark contrast to
Socialist Realism's traditional, positive hero who fought for
Soviet values and who vanquished the enemies of socialism. The book
discusses a wide range of films from the period, showing how the
new antiheroic archetype of Stagnation resonated through a
multitude of characters, mostly male, and vividly reflected the
realities of Soviet life. The book thereby provides great insight
into the lives, outlook, and psychology of citizens in the late
Soviet period.

This book illuminates and explores the representation of women in
Soviet cinema from the late 1950s, through the 1960s, and into the
1970s, a period when Soviet culture shifted away, to varying
degrees, from the well-established conventions of socialist
realism. Covering films about working class women, rural and urban
women, and women from the intelligentsia, it probes various
cinematic genres and approaches to film aesthetics, while it also
highlights how Soviet cinema depicted the ambiguity of emerging
gender roles, pressing social issues, and evolving relationships
between men and women. It thereby casts a penetrating light on
society and culture in this crucial period of the Soviet Union's
development.

purpose in a particular sentence or situation. This book will serve
