description Alexander Proškin along with the screenwriter Edgar Dubrovský changed the Soviet eastern paradigm in 1987. All the previous ones had been set in the times of the Civil War or immediately afterwards. The Cold Summer of 1953, as it stands out from the title, does not. The eastern had always been set in the wildest period of the Soviet history and the intense heroism of that period in order to create an attractive dramatic situation (Biele slnko púšte /The White Sun of the Desert/, Nikto nechcel umierať /Nobody Wanted to Die/, Transsibírsky expres /Transsiberian Express/, Svoj medzi cudzími, cudzí medzi svojmi /Alone Amongst Strangers, Alone Amongst Fellows/, Svieť, svieť, hviezda moja /Shine, Shine, My Star/ etc. It was not possible to depict the 1950s as a negative „wild“ situation until the mid-1980s (actually, it was, soon after the 20th Party Congress, but it did not last long and it led to persecution of many including Solzhenitsyn).
