Abstract
The Ukrainian cinema, starting from the 1930s
and with a short Chrustchev glasnost’, was subject to strong russification aimed at a consistent eradication and
destruction of the Ukrainian national identity. It is only towards the end of the 1980s and the beginning of the
1990s – along with the fall of the Soviet empire and the Ukrainian political, national and cultural rebirth and on
the wave of widespread discussion about the state and role of the Ukrainian national identity – that the Ukrainian
cinema brought a series of promising domestic cinema debuts. Unfortunately, the artists having their debut in the
days of transformation of the 1930s did not manage to formulate their own distinct artistic platform. In addition,
scant state support offered declarations rather than real and effective [aid both in the legal and the financial areas],
which did not contribute to the active development of domestic cinematography. A complex linguistic situation
that devalued the Ukrainian language to the advantage of the Russian language, had an adverse effect on the
Ukrainian cinema of those days [including the Ukrainian TV, radio or the press]. Both these and a number of other
factors led to the close death of the national cinematography in Ukraine towards the end of the 1990s. The
situation changed only with the change of power in 2000 when V. Yushchenko’s government financed all the
films planned for 2000. At the time the public was able to see films such as Molytva za het'mana Mazepu directed
by Yurij Illienko, Mamaj directed by Ołes’ Sanin, Druhoriadni liudy directed by Kira Muratova, or Chorna rada
directed by Mykola Zasieiev -Rudenko.
