The subject of the article is the late Soviet cultural logics manifested through the medial specifics of the film. Based on the material of the documentary film "And Still I Believe..." by Mikhail Romm (1974), the question is raised about the relationship between voice, text and image, and cultural and anthropological modes they offer the viewer. One of the key concepts for analyzing the film and determining these modes is the concept of intermediality. In relation to Soviet culture, two main strategies of intermediality in Soviet art practices are identified, based on existing research, through which Romm's film is then analyzed. Of particular importance to the work is the category of the (mediatized) voice, its place in Soviet culture, and more specifically, Mikhail Romm's voice and the intermedial transformations that it undergoes in the film. The relationship between voice, text, and image in late Soviet documentary films demonstrates interesting artistic strategies and allows us to problematize the position of the Soviet subject
