I have been researching various aspects of Soviet film history since I was working on my Specialist degree thesis (The use of painting in the work of the production designer, SPUHSS, 2011). My Master's thesis (Representations of the West in the 1920-1930s Soviet cinema, EUSP, 2020) helped me develop an interest in the Soviet interwar visual culture and the cinema of the 1920s. I am particularly interested in the impact international cinematic and visual culture exchange between the Soviet Union, the West and the East had on film and imagery of the era and how it affected intercultural intellectual transfer between countries.
My current PhD research is focusing on the pedagogical discourse of the Soviet 1920-1930s films about uprisings in the West, in the East and in the Soviet republics. The project explores not only films as such, but a broader discursive range of educational practices about the revolution, pursued by Soviet ideologists at various levels over the course of the decades at the workers鈥� club. The research aims to explore the ways in which the medium of cinema was manipulated in its transgression from visual to verbal and spatial forms, as a means of an interactive ideological pedagogy to disseminate historical narratives.听
