FEATURES OF TRANSFORMING ARTISTIC TEXT OF THE SECOND ROW TO A LITERARY SCRIPT (ON THE MATERIAL OF THE YEAR YAKOVLEV’S TALK “POLYETALA BALERINA”)

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the analysis of the story of Yu. A. Yakovlev “The Ballerina of the Political Department” and the further transformation of the plot of the story into a literary script. The author substantiates the idea that the film adaptation is a “ticket to life” for the forgotten story, despite all the conventions with respect to the original source. A more objective research result is achieved by the presence of a script that makes it possible to rely in the analysis not only on the director’s reflection in the finished film, but to present the process of transforming a literary plot into a film adaptation textually. In the context of this study, a creative method of understanding Yu. Yakovlev’s reality is formulated for a more complete understanding of the literary process of military prose of the second half of the 20th century.
