La Revolucion Chilena y la Dictadura de Augusto Pinochet en la Cultura de Masas Societica
This article aims to analyze the representations of the Chilean Revolution of the 1970s in the mass culture of the USSR. Feature films and documentaries, songs, propaganda posters, cartoons were used as sources for the analysis. It points out that the events in Chile were given considerable attention, which was conditioned by the objectives of the confrontation be-tween the USA and the Soviet Union during the Cold War. The author concludes that the images of the Chilean revolution and A. Pinochet dictatorship were used in Soviet mass culture for political mobilization, identity politics, legitimization of the USSR's foreign policy and also for the maintenance of the image of the American enemy. The representations of the Chilean Junta as fascist allowed to use the symbolic capital of the victory of the Soviet peo-ple in the Great Patriotic War. At the same time, the responsibility for the crimes of the Military Junta was attributed to the USA, which allowed to assign to the American enemy such features as cruelty, greed, immorality, link with Nazism.
