This article deals with the hermeneutical analysis of the image evolution of the pupil in a concrete Soviet and Russian animation films. Soviet cartoons represents the pupil as a positive character, or first an underachiever, but as a result followed a correction way. The image of the main character and/or a plot teaches the minor viewer to be honest, hardworking, sympathetic, faithful to friendship, kind, educated, well mannered, strives for knowledge. The negative characters (condemns hooligans and idlers, cowards, etc.) are in the satiric colors.

The modern Russian cartoons quite seldom show an image of the pupil and school. However, there are a number of developing and training animated films today. The few animated films about school and pupils give the main characters who behave freely, assert the rights and freedoms, seldom have highly moral behavior.

A large number of the modern developing animated films of various quality give a message to improve yourself, to enlarge knowledge, but they rarely touch the issues of education, its value, upbringing, principals and morals. Pupils are not common characters of animated film plots.

Keywords: student, pupil, animation, cartoons, school, USSR, Russia, hermeneutical analysis.

This article presents an analysis of the feature films about the school, created by domestic filmmakers in the period from 1985 to 1991. It reveals that the period of perestroika entered the history of gaming cinema as complex and ambiguous, accompanied by a tense situation in the society, the emergence of new problems, fundamental changes in the life of the population of the country, etc. The films on the school theme reflect the departure from the old ideological canons, the policy of restructuring and glasnost, the fall of the iron curtain, the sharp impoverishment of a large part of the population, highly increased number of unemployed, and criminalization.

Gorbatkova O. I.

The article is devoted to hermeneutic analysis (including: analysis of stereotypes, ideological analysis, identification analysis, iconographic analysis, plot analysis, character analysis, etc.) of Russian feature school films (1992-2017). The generalized hermeneutic analysis is based on the technologies developed by C. Bazalgette, A. Silverblatt, and U. Eco, on the theoretical approaches of N. Khrenov, M. Zhabsky, taking into account the leading concepts of media education: media agencies, media / media text categories, media technologies, media languages, media representations and media audiences. The author comes to the conclusion that the Russian school films (1992-2017) have these trends:

– the educational process has gone beyond the strict framework of maintaining rigid communist landmarks: education began to be humanistic and differentiated;

– schools as an educational institution (with school weekdays, corridors, classrooms, rows of desks, a school board, teachers and students) practically did not exist in the films of the first years after the collapse of the Soviet Union;

– the western system of “school cinematographic values” is fully supported since 1999;

– significant problems arising in the characters based on the opposition of  extraordinary teachers and students with the simplicity, grayness of the collective, classmates;

– problem areas (disappointment and fatigue, professional burnout of teachers, pragmatic cynicism of students, teenage aggression and cruelty, obscene lexicon, non-observance of moral and ethical norms, rules of conduct, etc.) were clearly revealed;

– students have the different images (negative and positive);

– the appearance of students and teachers has become more liberated and free;

– the screen images of some teachers were not ideal  (irresponsible, aggressive, corrupt, not distinguished by a high level of intelligence, not respected by society);  there is a lack of prestige of the pedagogical profession in the eyes of students and the public;

– film stories about school are immersed more often in the genre of comedy and  melodrama, with  entertaining character.

Keywords: hermeneutic analysis, media text, cinematography, film, Russia, school, teacher, schoolchild, characters.
