Abstract
The article examines the mythology in two films dedicated to ballet: “Bolshoi” (2017) by V. Todorovsky and “After You” (2017) by Anna Matison. The author highlights a conspicuous trend in modern Russian cinema towards positive appreciation of Soviet achievements. One of these is the national ballet school. This is an apparent proof that the existing post-Soviet socio-cultural paradigm is starting to change. The objective of the article is to consider the typology of representing the mythologeme associated with Soviet ballet.
