In September 2014 Andrey Konchalovskiy's White Nights of Postman Alexey Tryapitsyn won “Silver Lion” for the Best Director at the Venice Film Festival. European critics and advanced public have regularly marked endowments of the Soviet and Russian film director. Throughout his career he has received numerous awards at prestigious European film festivals. There are Crystal Globe in Karlovy Vary for the “Romance for Lovers” (1974), Grand Prix at Cannes for “Sibiriada” (1979), the main prizes of San Sebastian for “Uncle Vanya” (1971) and “Homer and Eddie” (1989). Meanwhile, Konchalovsky's success among American mass audience and critics has been much more modest, though Andrey Konchalovsky was the first in the early 1980s, since the time of the first wave of Russian 1910-20's emigration, who attempted to connect deeply national, “Russian” spirit with Hollywood production technology-oriented international strategy in his works. Being established in the Soviet Union as an esteemed author, Konchalovskiy decided to change the film industry to start over his career. Nowadays, in the context of the festival success in the European and Soviet/Russian cinema circles and the lack of attention in the United States, a question arises, if one can consider this attempt as successful one. In this article the author tries identify Russian national motives, which the filmmaker has introduced into Hollywood culture through his creative method, and those originally Hollywood themes and topics that have appeared for the first time in the works of the recognized Soviet director. Basing on Konchalovsky’s American works the author tries to elicit creative value in their national and transnational synthesis and expose the extent of their productivity and sensemaking.
