They look at it in one breath and with tears in their eyes.
The diversity of Soviet cinema is not limited to the cult comedies of Gaidai and the melodramas of Ryazanov. You just have to delve a little deeper into the study of the heritage of the last century to find masterpieces that most viewers today have forgotten.
This selection includes 15 moving, witty, thoughtful films that deserve the attention of every Russian:
“So many abandoned children…” complained fans of “Children of Don Quixote.” In the year of release, the film quickly conquered the cinemas and was broadcast on television more than once, but over time it was forgotten by modern viewers. But in vain, because even now the stories from Bondarenko’s maternity ward remain relevant. What is the child abandonment scene worth? The episode seemed so embarrassing that even the actress asked the director not to show her face on screen.
“Two extremely mean characters of Soviet cinema – Tamara and Valera,” assured those who watched the film “Married for the First Time”. The story about the betrayal of children did not leave viewers indifferent in the year of its premiere, and today it will touch the heart of every parent. Unfortunately, incidents involving family members left to fend for themselves are no longer uncommon. Fortunately, the film itself offers a happy ending for the main characters.
“It’s impossible to watch without tears,” “Stepmother” fans admitted. The moving drama about a woman who adopts her husband’s illegitimate daughter into her family was loved throughout the USSR. All Soviet women compared themselves to Shura and demanded that a monument be erected to Tatyana Doronina, who played her. It has been 51 years since the film appeared in cinemas, but the Russians call the story relevant and necessary.
