Abstract:
The article is devoted to literary propaganda among the Don Cossacks during the Crimean War. The author found several patriotic poems written by Don Cossacks during the reign of Nicholas I in the collection of the Don general, public figure and writer I.S. Ulyanov (State archive of the Rostov region). One of them, “The Eagle and Two Dogs” by F. Bykov, was a reaction to the entry of Great Britain and France into the Crimean War and was accompanied by an explanatory letter (in the article both of these documents are given in full). After analyzing these texts, as well as other poems, the author came to the conclusion that before the Crimean War on Don there existed patriotic literature, but it was distributed in manuscripts. The appointment of a patriotic M.Kh. Senyutkin to the post of editor of the Don Oblast Gazette and the beginning of the Crimean War led to the fact that patriotic artistic texts began to be actively printed. However, the authors of most of these texts were amateur writers, and because of the low quality of their poems and short stories, the propaganda of the “Don military statements was ineffective.

4. Dmitry V. LiventsevPropaganda in the World and Local Conflicts, 2018, 5(2): 55-64.
Abstract:
The article analyzes some propaganda models, in particular, the Herman-Chomsky model, the Ellul model and the Hall model and their practical application as theoretical foundations for the analysis of British and German propaganda during World War I. The article shows that knowing the target audience is one of the most important principles of propaganda and it guarantees its effective work on shaping the picture of the world. At the same time, the specificity of the dominant subjective and group picture of the world determines both the research methodology and the applicable propaganda model. Supposedly the object of propaganda functions in three realities: empirical (defined in terms of the correspondence of the physical world and our senses); imaginary (corresponding to the virtual space of culture) and spectator reality (the intersection of the first two). The article considers propaganda to be a consistent, long-term way of creating or shaping events, with the aim of influencing the attitude of the masses to an idea. It is proved that the effect on the group is more effective than the same effect on the individual. The article researches the artificiality and intensity of propaganda campaigns with an obvious predominance of the emotional component, using factoids, i.e. facts that do not exist before their appearance, objectification in the media space. The author shows that both the German and British propaganda of World War I can be characterized to a greater extent as Propaganda 1.0, with its conceptualization.

Abstract:
The article deals with sound broadcasting equipment that is at the disposal of various countries of the world. Attention is paid to lightweight, portable, vehicle and helicopter sound stations. Open Internet sources as well as specialized literature were used as materials. In terms of methodology, comparative and typological methods were used in the article, which made it possible to compare such weapons of propaganda as sound stations from the standpoint of typology. In conclusion, the author notes that there is an almost full range of sound equipment in the arsenal of the Armed Forces today, and it allows broadcasting at various distances from several hundred meters (portable complexes) up to 5 km (helicopter complexes). Broadcasting on an even greater territory is carried out with the help of special sound broadcasting stations, which, due to their size, cannot be placed on military equipment or transported by personnel.
