Films about the Donbas as ‘Prophecies’? : The German reception of Klondike and Donbass amid the (ongoing) situation in the Donbas

This thesis examines how the Donbas is discussed in German reviews of Klondike and Donbass, what it can tell us about German ideas regarding the Donbas, and whether these have changed over time. Using qualitative content analysis, reviews from German (online) media are analysed and the emerging themes are described. The theories used to interpret the findings are reception theory and narrative persuasion. It concludes that both reception theory and narrative persuasion can be found in German reviews of Klondike and Donbass, as the films are viewed differently in the context of the full-scale invasion, but also affect the way reviewers see real-life events.
