The films had a very negative impact on female viewers.
Cinema was one of the most popular entertainments for residents of the Soviet Union. Millions of viewers eagerly awaited new works by Leonid Gaidai, Vladimir Menshov and other venerable directors, unconsciously imitating the main characters. However, as modern netizens are sure, not all of them should be perceived as a standard.
So, according to the social media star Lena Miro, the main character of “Office Romance” Lyudmila Kalugina is definitely not a role model. She has built a successful career and achieved an enviable position, but is forced to connect her life with Novoseltsev, since she cannot be alone, without any lover.
There is no point in repeating the life path of the heroine “Moscow Doesn’t Believe in Tears.” Katerina was able to achieve everything, raised her daughter on her own and manages an entire enterprise. But he decides to connect his life with Gosha, who lives in a communal apartment and does not in any way strive to realize his own ambitions.
The list also includes characters from “Winter Cherry” and “The Irony of Fate, or Enjoy Your Bath!” In all these films, according to Miro, confident and successful heroines have to follow the lead of society, which only ruins their lives.
