Abstract
The article examines the representation of World War One in Russian pre-revolutionary cinema. The author introduces a typology of war fiction films and analyzes its transformation from 1914 to 1916, focusing on the evolution of the enemy portrayal. To account for the appearance of certain screen images, the general historical and cultural context is described. Particular attention is paid to the works of Russian philosophers (N. Berdyaev, V. Rozanov, S. Bulgakov), who wrote about the world war, which would reshape European political and socio-cultural landscapes.
