The article reflects the results of a comparative hermeneutical analysis of Russian feature films of the second half of the 1980s -2010s, including the study of cultural and historical contexts in order to consider their possible influence on the author's views, reflected in the specifics of the depiction of characters and reality, in the choice of plot motifs and other structural components of the film.Based on the results of the analysis, we describe and systematize film images, types of character relationships and plot motifs that reflect the prevailing "points of view" about cultural values and traditions, and characterize stereotypical models of social interaction between characters in accordance with the five types of cinematic discourse (interpersonal, artisticaesthetic, religious-ideological, historical-cultural, mythological) that make up the content of the structural-functional model of cultural identity developed by usThe analysis of research on the topic of the article has shown that the cultural traditions formed in centuries-old history were (with all the known losses) preserved in the Soviet period, remain relevant in modern conditions and are reflected in the feature films of "perestroika" and post-Soviet time.
