The rebuilding of Russia's film industry after the collapse of the USSR and further economic and cultural crisis was accompanied by a strengthening of patriotic and nationalistic tendencies. Having adapted Hollywood's methods to the material of Russian history, by the mid-2000s the cinematography of the new Russia began to produce historical blockbusters. These films were subordinated to the main task of creating an image of a strong country that needed to be revived in order to be proud of it again. This book explores the Russian blockbuster as a holistic cultural phenomenon and at the same time a point where politics, economics, history, and ideology intersect. Historian Stephen M. Norris, a professor at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, sets out to look at the history of twenty-first-century Russia through the prism of movies and to understand how the state has used them to construct a new national consciousness.

The book's aim is to look at the history of Russia in the twenty-first century through the prism of movies and to understand how the state has used them to construct a new national identity.
