Abstract

The aim of my paper is analyses of the evolution of the image of the “German occupant” in three representative Soviet and post-Soviet movies on the Great Patriotic war in the context of the post-war trauma studies. My intention is to make a comparative analyses of the images of the Nazi occupation and the German invaders in the Soviet and post-Soviet films. It was concluded that images of the “German occupant” evolved from impersonal and faceless “total Evil” in the Soviet cinema to more complicated and controversial subjectivity. There is analyzed the evolution of the Soviet and post-Soviet trauma of the German occupation at the Soviet survivals and their children and grandchildren.
