Identifying who was "inside" and who was "outside" the
Soviet/Russian body politic has been a matter of intense and
violent urgency, especially in the high Stalinist and post-Soviet
periods. It is a theme encountered prominently in film. Employing
a range of interpretive methods practiced in Russian/Soviet film
studies, Insiders and Outsiders in Russian Cinema highlights the
varied ways that Russian and Soviet cinema constructed otherness
and foreignness. While the essays explore the "us versus them"
binary well known to students of Russian culture and the ways in
which Russian films depicted these distinctions, the book
demonstrates just how impossible maintaining this binary proved
to be.
