要旨：
　The Soviet documentary and ethnographic films are studied as a specific direction of cinema and at the same time as a complex phenomenon expressed by various methodological approaches and interactions between scholars and filmmakers. They also reflect the cultural and national policies of the USSR in the 1920s-1980s. I examine the ethnographic film as the most important cultural practice within the framework of national policy implemented in different periods of the history of the USSR.
　The population of the Soviet Union was characterized by its ethnic and religious diversity. The Soviets paid a great attention to the elaboration of cinema as a great tool for mass propaganda and agitation among people. Ethnographic films take its own place closely connected with the nation-building processes and production of the image of a multiethnic Soviet state. The major state film project “The Cinema Atlas of the USSR” (1920s-1930s), initiated by the Soviet government, is a unique series of documentaries, which contributed to the political construction of images of new territories. The project idea was to collect a film almanac of 150 series about the life of different ethnic groups of the Soviet Union. Several film expeditions to different regions of the USSR were initiated. One of the first was organized by the film company “Soviet Cinema” (“СОВКИНО”) and took place in Buryatia. Documentary “Baikal” (“Байкал”, 1928) and fiction film “Storm over Asia” (“Потомок Чингисхана”, 1928) are the unique film documents that expand the boundaries of the research in the field of visual anthropology, as well as in the anthropology of religion, especially Buryat Buddhism.
　Late history of ethnographic film in the USSR of the 1960s-1980s is closely connected with the Soviet intellectual culture. It is not easy to determine its boundaries and its place among academic and community practices and a wider range of film lovers and viewers. The research describes the activity of Soviet scholars from the All-Union Music Commission of the Union of Composers USSR (also known as Folklore Music Commission), involved in the process of creating such kind of films (on the example of the film “The Dreamtime” (“Времена Сновидений”, 1982) by A. Slapinsh, E. Novik, E. Alekseev). I also present the data on the practices of film screenings “Folklore on Screen” and organization of the first Soviet Festival of Visual Anthropology (1987).
