Eurasia is first and foremost a historical, cultural, and political construct. So are its centers and margins. Using poetic cinema of the 1960s and 1970s in the Soviet Union and Ukraine and Sergei Paradzhanov’s films as examples, the paper demonstrates the possibility of alternative (cinematic) conceptualizations of Eurasia in the USSR. This is where reality and fiction merge and where spatial configurations reveal their arbitrariness and the opportunity for their own reconfiguration.
