Concerns the spiritual influences in shaping cultural tradition. The author analyses understanding of the related issues within the context of the Civil War in Russia by the film director Alexander Askoldov and their interpretations in his film “Commissar”. The issue of the national character as a part of cultural heritage is addressed to show that European culture has been largely defined by the evolution of Christianity. Today, successful development of Russian national character may suppose the rapprochement of the Orthodoxy, Catholicism and Protestantism as it was argued by Vladimir Solovyov in his work “On the Christian Unity.”
