Description
Summary:The article is devoted to one of the most tragic periods in the history of our country - "great terror". The "harmful" processes of the 1930s in the North Caucasus are analyzed on the basis of their reflection in the regional press in 1937. The theme is very relevant in the national and world historiography of the Soviet period in the history of Russia. The content analysis of the Newspapers "North Caucasian Bolshevik" and "Ordzhonikidzevskaya Pravda" showed that the words "enemies" and "pests" most often repeated in the headlines and in the content of articles in 1937 there was not a single week in 1937 without detection of accidents, crashes, delays due to the fault of "hostile elements", "Trotskyist saboteurs", "class enemies". The methods of influence on public consciousness through the consecration of "harmful processes" in the press are revealed. The similarity and difference of the press coverage of high-profile all-Union and regional processes are analyzed. The stable speech practices of their reflection on the pages of the press in order to manipulate society are revealed. Methodological techniques of discourse analysis of press texts in the context of influence on mass consciousness are applied. The importance of the press to support Stalin's political regime is shown.
