Abstract:
This article examines literary devices and lexical features used for propaganda in Soviet newspapers, using the example of the publication “Red Baltic Fleet” for 1921. The analysis shows that newspaper articles combine informative and propaganda functions, using emotional vocabulary, metaphors, allusions, epithets and occasionalisms to create vivid images and form a negative attitude towards capitalism and bourgeois countries. These literary devices increased the emotional impact on readers and contributed to the complication of society around the new ideology.

Abstract:
The paper examines the role of print media in the Soviet Union during the war, focusing on their functions as instruments of state propaganda. Under strict state control, newspapers such as “Pravda” and “Izvestia” were used to form and reinforce the official ideology. One of the main techniques of covert propaganda was the use of thematic publications that emphasized the connection between the successes in socialist construction and the power of the armed forces. Visual elements such as illustrations of soldiers and military equipment enhanced patriotic sentiments among readers. Interviews were also conducted with military personnel who presented the army as a symbol of protecting the people. Cultural events such as parades were covered in the press, creating a positive image of military service. These same basic techniques were used during the war years, taking into account the military specifics. They used propaganda techniques to form public opinion supporting military initiatives, formed a mythology around the Red Army, creating a sense of unity between it and the people.
