Polish cinema in the mirror of the Soviet and Russian film critics

The peak of interest in Polish cinema in the Soviet Union took place in the 1960s. And this is understandable: in the first place, unlike the situation in the 1920s - 1930s, the friendship and cooperation with Poland at the time actively supported at the state level; Secondly, for those years (the second half of the 1950s to mid-1960s) came off the so-called "Polish Film School"; Thirdly, it is Polish films were then significant share of foreign rental in Soviet cinemas. This explains why in 1960 in USSR have been published dozens of articles and five books of Polish cinema. With the emergence in the 1970s film "moral anxiety", and later "Solidarity" movement of Polish films box office became less in the USSR ... Shortwave revive Polish film studies came at the end of 1980 - the beginning of the 1990s. But in the XXI century the Russian film critics wrote less about Polish cinema.
