The peculiarity of the contemporary historical period, Ukraine is currently in, is the necessity of rapid reaction to new challenges and threats, which were absolutely unknown recently. The experience of recent years showed that information security is the most important component of the national security of the state. Neglect of threats in this area leads to economic catastrophes, diplomatic crises, military conflicts, wars and territorial losses. Information warfare is the war of the future, having numerous advantages over armed conflict resolution: these include relatively lower economic costs, anonymous nature of the enemy (which complicates contractions), and absence of informational borders in modern globalized world, as well as inability to set the rules of the game. The most spread methods of realization of the set goals in the information warfare are propaganda, manipulation, disinformation, and diversification of public consciousness. Herewith, one of the main components of the information warfare is rhetoric, aimed to form public consciousness in a holistic way. This research is the continuation of the study of the informational field of the occupied territories of Donbas, started in the article “Some aspects of humanitarian challenges of safe reintegration processes of Temporary Occupied Territories of Separate Districts of Donetsk and Luhansk Regions: role of mass media”. The research aims to distinguish and formulate the main messages and rhetoric, which are basic for the contemporary informational policy of quasi-states on the Temporary Occupied Territories of Separate Districts of Donetsk and Luhansk Regions. For the realization of the set aim, the following tasks should be performed:– distinguishing of theoretical approaches to the concept “rhetoric”:– analysis of the website of the “Ministry of Information of Donetsk People’s Republic” and “Ministry of communication and mass communication of Luhansk People’s Republic”:- distinguishing and formulation of the main rhetoric and messages, which are basic for the informational policy on the occupied territories, based on the analysis of the content of the websites of ministries.Hypothesis: Contemporary informational policy, which is formulated by the quasi-government, does not facilitate safe reintegration of the occupied territories into Ukraine and forms rhetoric, working for approaching with the Russian Federation, in the public consciousness.The main news themes and projects, the ministries realized, were determined. Themes of news (the period analysed - January 2021), which were further grouped into six main blocks were studied. The percentage weight of each news block was determined and further visualized in the work using the graphic method.The main rhetoric, working at the formation of public consciousness in “republics” was defined on the basis of the conducted analysis of the news feed of the ministries responsible for information policy in Luhansk and Donetsk People’s republics.

The processes that took place in the public life of our country at those stages of its historical development, when the issue of preserving the Ukrainian statehood, were of great interest in the context of the implementation of the “decentralization” reform and the growing role of local self-government in modern Ukraine. In this context, the issues of participation of the Ukrainian intellectuals in the work of local self-government bodies (“Ukrainian subsidiary administrations”) during the difficult period of the German-fascist occupation of the territory of Ukraine in 1941-1944 are of current relevance. In the first weeks of the war with the Soviet Union, the fascist leadership decisively eliminated all attempts by Ukrainian nationalists to recreate the Ukrainian state in any form. The occupied territories were artificially divided into several administrative territorial units. On August 20, 1941, the Reich Commissariat of Ukraine was formed, which included ten occupied regions of Ukraine, including Dnipropetrovsk.On the initiative of P.T. Sokolovsky, The “Committee of Managing Propagandists” was established in the city and solemnly celebrated the second anniversary of “liberation” of Dnepropetrovsk “from the Bolsheviks” on August 25, 1943. The views of P.T. Sokolovsky were shared by many of his subordinates. Propaganda of the ideas of the new totalitarian ideology certainly met the requirements of the occupying power. Analyzing the article, we can conclude that the activities of the local intellectuals in the “Ukrainian Supplementary Authority” of Dnepropetrovsk were fully subordinated to the economic needs of the occupiers. However, the city government resolved the issues of social security of the population, preservation of the infrastructure and economic objects of the city by serving the occupying power. That is why the study of the positive aspects of the participation of the intellectuals in the work of the city government of Dnepropetrovsk in the complex historical period of 1941–1943 is a prospect for further investigation of this problem.

This article analyses artistic phenomena in the period of «perestroika and glasnost» (1985–1999) and reveals the question of the main problems in that historical period. In the period of «perestroika and glasnost» in the cultural industry, the process of «information saturation» acquired the character of filling in «white spots». The forbidden and forgotten works, «works from the box», start mass-publishing, «films from the shelf» come to film distribution, numerous «books from a special fund» return to library subscriptions. Works that previously appeared only in samizdat are reprinted, phenomena recognized by the Soviet regime as «undesirable», «alien», or even «hostile» are returned to art – from both the ideological and purely artistic sides. The fall of the Iron Curtain played a major role in the rapid disintegration of the official quasi-communist ideology. Information - the most devastating weapon - destroyed the «wall», which passed through the feelings and opinions of people. Information on the real state of things outside the USSR «leaked out» through various channels. Previously blocked truthful information gushed out in full flow both from external and internal sources quickly acquiring the size of the «critical mass», starting an uncontrollable «chain reaction», which led to «information explosion». This «explosion» transformed - not to say deformed - the public consciousness, people acquired the opportunity to know everything about themselves and their history, and the process of «information saturation» began in the culture and art industry.

The paper documents the initiative of two African American women educators who have utilized these theoretical approaches to solve the educational challenges in their respective communities. Marva Collins and Corla Hawkins decided to build schools in their own communities after realizing that the public schools were not equipped to educate minorities. The story of these two women demonstrates that individuals can address systemic injustices in their communities. Collins and Hawkins were not wealthy. What they possessed was a passion for helping others. Their example can inspire more individuals to take steps using liberating philosophies, like value-creating education and womanist approaches in education, to transform the state of education in their communities.

This chapter asks the questions: ‘what is the Spanish Golden Age and why should we stage its plays now?’ The Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) Spanish season of 2004–5 came at a particularly ripe time for Golden Age plays to enter the public consciousness. This chapter introduces the Golden Age period and authors whose works were chosen for the season, and the performance traditions from the corrales of Spain to festivals in the United States. The chapter then treats the decision taken by the RSC to initiate a Golden Age season, delves into the play-selection process, and discusses the role of the literal translator in this first step towards a season. Then the chapter looks at ‘the ones that got away’, the plays that almost made the cut for production, and other worthy scripts from this period that deserve consideration for future productions.
