Logoworld of Oleksandr Dovzhenko in the Ukrainian Audiovisual Space

The article is an attempt to understand the logoworld of Oleksandr Petrovych Dovzhenko. A lot has been written about him. And this is not surprising, because O. Dovzhenko is an iconic figure of the Ukrainian cultural space, known far beyond the borders of our country, a world-recognized film director and writer. This year the 130th anniversary of his birth will be celebrated on September, the 10th. Any thinking person, over time begins to address eternal questions. Oleksandr Dovzhenko undoubtedly had these questions. Moreover, in fact, all of his multifaceted heritage, his logoworld, as a concentration in the mind of abstract concepts of the spiritual sphere, are permeated precisely by these eternal questions. It is considered in the study how in the legendary and praised by many Earth O. Dovzhenko asks himself and the viewer a question to which everyone must answer independently... Our future worldview, activity and, ultimately, life in general will depend on what answer we give. Attention is focused in the article on the attitude of Oleksandr Petrovych to people, to the environment, to life in general, which we can learn from the autobiographical story Enchanted Desna, written much later (1956), when Dovzhenko was abroad and dreamed of returning to his native Ukraine, to the village dear to his heart in the Chernihiv region where his childhood years were spent, where he had such a knowledge of eternal values, which has been transfered on paper later as a hymn to his native Chernihiv region and simple peasants, working people, bearers of traditional values, who respect and cherish their native culture and glorious history. Oleksandr Dovzhenko has Cossack roots, not enslaved, free. He was a soldier in the Army of the Ukrainian People’s Republic, and later an active member of the creative center of the Odesa Film Factory; he has been aimed at the formation of his own creative, progressive and free-thinking association without correlation with the visions of the central government, which preferred to destroy any manifestations and hints of national identity and independence. O. Dovzhenko has been and remains one of the brightest representatives of Ukrainianhood not only of the time period when he lived and worked, but his work continues to influence future generations of talented artists. Ukrainian identity, this Ukrainian seed, which, despite the suffering, the director-thinker has carried with his creativity, his philosophical messages, the subtext of his works, the deep meanings and questions relevant for a thinking person, his value orientations, which the master transmitted to future generations, all this is not in vain... The cornfield of the future free and independent Ukraine, which has become a spiritual example of indomitability, love of freedom and spiritual greatness for the whole world has grown.
