Abstract
The article is devoted to the study of screen images of prerevolutionary newsreels, which correspond not to historical reality, but to the viewer’s mythical ideas about it. The pre-revolutionary viewer saw screen reality differently compared to the modern viewer. He believed that screen images would live on the screen in the perception of viewers of future generations, but in fact, the new audience sees these images differently.
