An ideological and cultural analysis was made to the documentary film "Sovetskaya Kirgiziya" shot in 1947 for the memory of the twentieth anniversary of the Kyrgyz Soviet Socialist Republic. In this study, which uses discourse and content analysis methods, the text, images and sound of the documentary were examined separately. As a result of the review, it was seen that the comparison method, which was frequently used in the early years of Soviet cinema history, was also used for propaganda purposes in this film. In this documentary, in which the rhetoric of "Soviet citizenship" is very intense, the shortcomings of the Kyrgyz are highlighted, while it is emphasized that the Soviet government developed the country by completing these deficiencies.
