Against the background of the socio-political events of the time, the article analyzes the process of deepening the totalitarian ways of managing the media in Transcarpathia, the region most recently annexed to the Soviet Union. Communists liquidate newspapers and magazines of other parties, cultural and public associations in the region, and communist government bodies purposefully turn the newly created print media and survivors into a means of destroying dissent. Through custom newspaper publications, the communist administrative-command system not only launches repression against active local cultural and public figures, scholars, writers, clergy, but also uses a titanic effort to ideologically re-educate the population of Transcarpathia through the print media The main function of the media is to promote the communist way of life and class struggle. The author examines the main stages of the transformation of the Transcarpathian print media into communist print media, draws attention to the way in which the Soviet authorities in Transcarpathia fought dissent through the print media, rigidly implemented anti-religious propaganda in the media. Those public and religious figures who did not agree to move to the side of communist power were ruthlessly physically destroyed. Such was the fate of the famous and authoritative among the population of Transcarpathian Greek-Catholic bishop Theodore Romzha. Transcarpathian press of the second half of the 20th century becomes an era of strengthening and deepening of Sovietization. The media actively promoted the idea that the country had entered the era of advanced socialism, and that all peoples in the Soviet Union formed a single historical community – the «Soviet people». In this way, the idea that the national issue was finally resolved was entrenched. At the same time, self-publishing books, which proved quite differently, had a significant impact on Ukrainian society. During these years, Transcarpathia became the base for the transfer of selfpublishing and dissident works to Western Europe for printing. Anti-Communist appearances in neighboring Czechoslovakia, known as the «Prague Spring», have had a major impact on the information space of this region. Keywords: periodicals, journalism, mass media, media space, propaganda, agitation, party press.

It is proved that a lot of publications are paid to the political life of the so-called Luhansk People’s Republic. However, it has been found that the number of publications about Ukrainian or Russian authorities is almost the same. It was also discovered that, although there are newspapers and negative articles about Ukraine, it is still more often covered in a neutral context. As for publications on international political events, there are very few such publications, which suggests preserving political thought within the two countries and directly by the LNR.

This paper investigates the purpose of society's construction of ‘others’ through the gaze of the mass media. During times of crisis, the paper argues, Western mass media are faced with an irreconcilable paradox: the simultaneous demand for, and denial of, a fear-inspiring other (the Soviet Union, Al Qaeda, etc.) This paradigm of otherness was overcome in the period post-Cold War and pre-9/11 as the US media was able to demonise ‘others’ at home — the war on drugs, for example. The question this paper will address, then, is: what are the motives driving the US mass media towards an other constructed along lines similar to the Soviet-era other? Who is to ‘blame’ for this phenomenon — the media, or the society in which these media operate?

Purpose. The article is devoted to the identification of manipulative headlines in the media space of Ukrainian-language online publications in 2020 and the analysis of manipulative technologies applied to them. The purpose of the article is to identify manipulative technologies applied to headlines in the modern Ukrainian-language media space.Methods. To achieve this goal, the paper uses appropriate research methods: the method of continuous sampling for the selection of manipulative media headlines that occur in online publications; method of content analysis to study the implicative content of manipulative titles of publications of Ukrainian online publications in 2020. Results. The title in the online edition is a communicative unit that performs a number of functions: nominative-informational, advertising-expressive, graphic-distinctive.Manipulative technologies used by journalists and editors for verbal design of headlines of materials published in online publications are analyzed. Among them – the use of stereotypes, labeling, repetition of information, anonymous authority, statement of fact, distraction, the principle of contrast, psychological shock.Conclusions. As a result of the content analysis, which was to identify the implicative content of manipulative titles of Ukrainian online publications in 2020, the authors of this investigation found that journalists and editors productively use manipulative technologies that increase clickability and, consequently, bring profit to owners media. But there is a trend: the more actively mass media use these technologies, i.e. the clickability increases, the lower the quality of information content in the media space. Poor performance of the main function of mass media in society – information – causes a violation of the process of socio-political communication. The analyzed techniques create manipulative content, the purpose of which is to attract the attention of media consumers (the main thing is the advertising-expressive function of headlines), which play an important role in the media space, because they disseminate information on social networks or orally.Key words: manipulation, media manipulation, manipulation technology, content. Мета. Стаття присвячена виявленню маніпулятивних заголовків у медіапросторі україномовних інтернет-видань за 2020 рік, їхніх комунікативних функцій, аналізу маніпулятивних технологій, що застосовуються до них. Мета статті – виявити маніпулятивні технології, що застосовуються до заголовків у сучасному україномовному медіапросторі.Методи. Для досягнення поставленої мети в роботі використано відповідні методи дослідження, а саме: метод суцільної вибірки для добору маніпулятивних медіазаголовків, що трапляються в інтернет-виданнях; метод контент-аналізу для вивчення імплікатурного змісту маніпулятивних заголовків публікацій українських інтернет-видань 2020 року.Результати. Заголовок в інтернет-виданні – комунікативна одиниця, яка виконує низку функцій: номінативно-інформаційну, рекламно-експресивну, графічно-видільну.Проаналізовано маніпулятивні технології, які журналісти та редактори використовують для вербального оформлення заголовків матеріалів, які розміщують в інтернет-виданнях. Серед них використання стереотипів, наклеювання ярликів, повтор інформації, анонімний авторитет, констатація факту, відволікання уваги, принцип контрасту, психологічний шок.Висновки. У результаті проведеного контент-аналізу, що полягав у виявленні імплікатурного змісту маніпулятивних заголовків публікацій українських інтернет-видань 2020 року, автори цієї розвідки з’ясували, що журналісти та редактори продуктивно застосовують маніпулятивні технології, які підвищують клікабельність, а отже, приносять прибуток власникам медіа. Але виявляється тенденція: чим активніше масмедійники використовують ці технології, тобто росте клікабельність, тим нижча якість інформаційного контенту в медіапросторі. Неякісне виконання основної функції масмедіа в суспільстві – інформування – спричиняє порушення процесу суспільно-політичної комунікації. За допомогою проаналізованих технік створюється маніпулятивний контент, мета якого – привернути увагу медіаспоживачів (головною стає рекламно-експресивна функція заголовків), які відіграють важливу роль у медіапросторі, оскільки саме вони поширюють інформацію в соціальних мережах чи усно.Ключові слова: маніпуляція, медіаманіпуляція, технологія маніпулювання, контент.

AbstractDuring the Soviet period, the media served as one of the main propagandist tools of the authoritarian regime, using a standardized and monotype media system across the Soviet Republics. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, 15 countries became independent. The transition from Soviet communism to capitalism has led to the reconstruction of economic, socio-cultural, and political systems. One of the most affected institutions in post-Soviet countries was the media. Media have played a supportive role during rough times, when there was, on the one hand, the struggle for liberation and sovereignty, and, on the other hand, the need for nation building. It has been almost 30 years since the Soviet Republics achieved independence, yet the media have not been freed from political control and continue to serve as ideological apparatuses of authoritarian regimes in post-Soviet countries. Freedom of speech and independent media are still under threat. The current study focuses on media use in Azerbaijan, one of the under-researched post-Soviet countries. The interviews for this study were conducted with 40 participants living in Nakhichevan and Baku. In-depth, semi-structured interview techniques were used as research method. Findings are discussed under six main themes in the conclusion.

Despite the short chronological span of the socialist era architecture heritage, it remains little investigated and underappreciated. Given the political and cultural isolation of the Soviet Union republics and strict architectural design regulations, there was a widespread belief that architects should not use innovative trends. This article exemplifies residential quarters in the historic Podil district, designed and built in the 1970s-1980s in Kyiv. They vividly demonstrate the postmodern ideas embodied in Ukrainian architecture. Methodologically, the article bases on the Ch. Jencks definition of postmodernism and in the comparison of his ideology with the implemented Kyiv project. It states that Kyiv architects proposed not typical Soviet construction projects but international postmodern architectural solutions. It proves that, on the one hand, Ukrainian architects had perfect qualifications to draw construction projects implementing advanced world trends of the time. But on the other hand, it highlights that postmodernism in architecture did not merely confine to Western Europe and the United States but also penetrated the Iron Curtain, exemplifying innovative architectural thinking which ran contrary to the modernist paradigm.

In a far corner of St. Isaac's Square in Leningrad, overshadowed by the gold-domed cupola of the city's most famous cathedral, stands the Institute of Cinema, Theatre and Music. Few foreign visitors to Leningrad realize that on the first floor of that building is contained one of the largest collection of folk instruments in the world, a collection which, though primarily devoted to the Soviet Union, nevertheless contains instruments from Western Europe, China, India and Japan.

The article analyzes the features of Soviet emigration and repatriation in the second half of the 1960s through the early 1970s, when for the first time after a long period of time, and as a result of political agreements between the USSR and the USA, hundreds of thousands of Soviet Jews were able to leave the Soviet Union for good and settle in the United States and Israel. Our attention is focused not only on the history of this issue and the overall political situation of that time, but mainly on the peculiarities of this issue coverage by the leading American printed media. The reference to the media as the main empirical source of this study allows not only perceiving the topic of emigration and repatriation in more detail, but also seeing the regularities of the political ‘face’ of the American press of that time. This study enables us to expand the usual framework of knowledge of emigration against the background of its historical and cultural development in the 20th century.

This chapter discusses everyday life under foreign occupation during the Second World War. Living conditions were very different depending on class, race, location, and time. People living in Poland, Greece, Yugoslavia, and the occupied territories of the Soviet Union were not only much more exposed to terror and mass crimes; their standards of living were also much lower than in western Europe. Some experiences, however, were shared. The chapter focuses on certain common daily experiences: procuring food and other daily necessities; the relationship between peasants and urban populations; the working and living conditions in cities and towns; the role of families and the importance of networks; and the impact of terror, destruction, and insecurity on society and individuals. Living under foreign occupation partly corrupted the moral standards governing human relations, but there was also solidarity which focused on a core group of people consisting of family and close friends.
