Abstract
This article is the first attempt at a general classification and analysis of Boris Vasiliev's filmography consisting of 28 films either written by him or based on his books. The main attention is laid on the ideological and thematic content of the most notable films, as well as the conformity of the screen adaptations with Vasiliev’s artistic concepts, themes and problems. The article is a readers’ tribute to the classic of Russian literature and his cinematic talent, commemorating the writer's centenary.
