Summary/Abstract: The essay deals with comparison of visual images of the bear in the Western and Soviet cultures. Meanwhile the Western caricatures and comics represented the bear as a terrible and fierce beast, the Soviet culture produced the images of peaceful and friendly bears (or more often of bear cubs). In the post-Cold war period the Soviet «Red bear» turns into a character of the pop-culture both in Russia and abroad.
