SOVIET CINEMATOGRAPHY EDUCATIONAL POTENTIAL FOR THE PATRIOTISM FORMATION IN CADETS OF THE MINISTRY OF INTERNAL AFFAIRS OF RUSSIA EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS ^{[№ 3 ' 2025]}
Today, the system of patriotic education of modern employees of internal affairs bodies is actively improving through the use of effective pedagogical methods, one of which is watching movies. Soviet cinema had significant educational potential for forming a sense of patriotism in viewers and was aimed at educating a harmonious and comprehensively developed personality. Films of that time not only entertained, but also educated people, instilling in them heroic and patriotic ideals. I conducted a study on organizing movie screenings of Soviet films in order to form patriotic feelings in those educated. In the experimental group for the formation of professional patriotism, a significantly higher level of patriotic motivation of young police officers was diagnosed compared to the control group. Participants in the experimental group demonstrated a higher level of professional knowledge and skills, as well as a deep understanding of their role and responsibility. They showed greater readiness for learning and self-development, actively participated in trainings and seminars, which contributed to their professional growth. Young police officers openly expressed pride in their profession and aspiration for its development. It was revealed that color films of the post-war period of the USSR history had a greater influence on modern youth. Pre-war films and films of the last years of the Soviet Union history aroused less interest among cadets. Respondents everywhere pointed to a weak awareness of Soviet films, and an increase in interest in domestic cinematic masterpieces as a result of special pedagogical influence. The survey results indicate that today Soviet and modern Russian cinematography are approximately equal for police officers. Many young people are not familiar with the classics of Soviet cinema, for a significant number of our contemporaries brought up on the examples of Hollywood films and mass culture, Soviet aesthetics and cinematic style are unusual, however, with the right instillation of love for domestic cinema, it can be attractive to young viewers.
