The historical emergence and diverse influences on neorealism are outlined, as well as its specific features. The manifestations of neorealism in Georgi Mishev's work are studied – its characteristic cinematic quality, unadulteratedness, etc., as well as its interaction with the dogmas of socialist realism.otherneorealismsocialismmigration themeliterature and cinemaArticle
