Abstract
The purpose of the work is to analyze the image transformation of one of the White Movement key leaders — A. V. Kolchak — in Soviet feature films created from the late 1950s to the late 1980s. The basis for the study is in five films about the events of the First World War and the Civil War, in which A. V. Kolchak appears among the film characters. The theoretical basis of the study is a combination of anthropological and cultural approaches with comparative historical and biographical methods. This allow, by analyzing each film by the presence of the main elements (the central idea, the dualistic opposition of «us – them» and the dynamics of development), to understand the director’s vision of the Kolchak image in the context of the era (while not excluding existed general ideological attitudes).
