Abstract
The article is focused on reception of the movie Elusive Avengers (1967) by E. Keosayan in the Soviet media of 1960s – 1970s. The film by E. Keosayan is a kind of remake of I. Perestiany’s Red Devils (1923) based on P. Blyakchin’s story published in 1921. The Perestiani movie by 1960 got the status of classic piece of Soviet cinematograph. Elusive Avengers appeared at the juncture of two epochs: Krushchev’s “thaw” was nearly over anyway yet the Soviet tanks had not rolled into Prague. The film met the mixed review from critics. The movie was released towards the 50 years jubilee of the revolution and it was really caught in the “gaping” between the party of the artists who wanted to speak and articulate their position and attitude with free language and the party of conservative guards which upheld conservative values, what naturally affected the language of description of cinematic reality.
