Роли на экране: монумент «Родина-мать зовет!» в советской кинодокументалистике
Roles on the screen: the monument «The Motherland calls!» in Soviet documentary films

Summary/Abstract: The monument “The Motherland calls!” as a visual image has become popular not only in static forms of information transmitting (postcards, stamps, photos, books, albums, etc.), but also in dynamic forms, such as films. The article studies documentary films as practices of using the monument “The Motherland calls!”, erected in 1967 in Volgograd, and analyzes the variants of using the symbolic potential of the monument in these cinema sources. The author concludes that the meta-discourse of the monument includes the set of various patterns of speech — communicational events, such as the discourses of peacefulness, memory, border, locus.
