The recreation of the figure of the “official virgin” of the nineteenth-century Russian literature in Soviet post-Stalin cinema was due to the “Thaw” ideology’s rejection of the vulgarity of life’s routine, no longer controlled by the state, but predetermined by it. At the same time, the infantilism inevitable in a nineteenth-century official became for his screen counterpart a tool of both escape from the “marriage-official” life and adaptation to it.
