The influence of soviet cinema on chinese cinematography durunig the “seventeen-year” period
The issue of the historical status and role of Soviet cinema in the construction of socialist culture of the People’s Republic of China is relevant due to the influence of the USSR on the formation and development of Chinese cinema during the “Seventeen-year” period (1949-1966). In the modern conditions of Russia's external constraints, the historical experience of international cooperation and cultural relations with the countries of the Asia-Pacific region, in particular China, is the subject of great interest. The analysis of cooperation between the USSR and China in the field of cinematography can be considered as the implementation of "soft power", as well as an example of successful interaction, which could serve as a basis for strengthening and developing humanitarian cooperation in the eastern direction of Russia's foreign policy.
