On their example it is possible to follow the development of new means of expression, new techniques, successful and unsuccessful solutions in terms of both arts. In addition, the screen versions of the operas refl ected the ideological attitudes of that time, making attempts to create a “correct” image of Russian art. In addition to operas, the paper also pays attention to cartoons based on operas, discusses their specifi cs in comparison with fi lm versions.
