The article based on multidisciplinary methodology of the humanities presents the definition of the concept of cultural translation, the British version of “The Queen of Spades” screened by Thorold Dickinson in 1949 analyzed as such. Dickinson’s picture is regarded on the background of preceding Russian screen versions of Pushkin’s long short story (povest’) which set various variants of its translation into the language of cinema and were adapted by Dickinson to the English cultural tradition and British ideas about Russian culture.  

Keywords: literature, cinema, screen version, cultural translation, “The Queen of Spades”, cultural context, aesthetic canon.
