Undergraduate thesis attempts to illuminate the question of how Khrushchev's foreign policy and international events at the time were reflected in film animations between 1960 and 1964. The focus will be directed more on the USSR's relations with other countries, especially the United States, and on Khrushchev's new diplomatic approach in the international political scene in the second half of the 1950s and early 1960s. The important question will be, whether the international crises and the USSR's relationship with other countries were reflected in the film animations of Khrushchev's last years in power. The characteristic of film animated production in the early 1960s will be highlighted and focus will be specifically on the eight film animations, which can be considered as a reflection of Soviet foreign policy at the time and which were probably another tool of the Cold War ideological struggle. Attention will be put also on the question of how American everyday life was portrayed and caricatured in the USSR, and which American stereotypes were exposed.
