Feature films about family and family ubringing have significant educational potential since they do not only convey aesthetic values but also contain moral principles and contribute to promoting a certain system of norms and ideals of family relationships and family upbringing.The article made an attempt to analyse and present the dynamics of interest in Russian fiction cinema to the theme of family and family upbringing.The chosen research perspective is due to the fact that the study of scientific findings of Russian and foreign scholars on the theme allowed us to identify a contradiction between a relatively detailed elaboration of family issues in feature films and the researchers' insufficient attention to the statistical side of this theme.The analysis revealed that the period of maximum interest in the theme of family and family upbringing on the Soviet and Russian screens occurred between 1992 and 2020 when 167 feature films were released on the country's screens (about 36 % of the total number of films on this theme).In the second place is the period of the so-called "stagnation" era (1969)(1970)(1971)(1972)(1973)(1974)(1975)(1976)(1977)(1978)(1979)(1980)(1981)(1982)(1983)(1984)(1985) when 150 films were created in 16 years (33 %).The same period leads in the average annual number of feature films made about family and family upbringing (about 9 films released annually).A significant decrease in the number of feature films about family and family upbringing was noted during perestroika (1986--1991) which was associated with a general decrease in film production in Russia during this historical period.In terms of genre, in the period from 1920 to 2020, family feature films were dominated by dramas -188 films (41 %), melodramas -144 films (31 %), and comedies -91 (20 %).As for other genres, their number on the country's screens was only 1 %.At the same time, the dominant film genres in different periods were supplemented by other genres such as biography, thriller, action, fantasy, and musical.The number of children's films and fairy tales created by Russian filmmakers that were focused on family and family upbringing was 33 films (7 %).The theme of family and family upbringing has always found an active response in Russian feature films of various genres.The transformation of ideas about family and its values is closely related to the socio-cultural context, political and ideological changes occurring in society at different stages of development.
