Abstract:
Frontline newspapers during the war years became an important tool for raising the morale of soldiers at the front and shaping public opinion in general. They not only informed soldiers about events at the front, but also provided communication with the rear, creating a sense of unity and patriotism. This paper analyzes the materials of the frontline newspapers “For the Soviet Motherland” and “In Battle for the Motherland” using methods of linguistic and content analysis. The role of frontline propaganda in shaping the image of the enemy, glorifying Soviet soldiers and emphasizing victories is discussed, which contributed to strengthening faith in victory and the soldiers' readiness for self-sacrifice. Propaganda used emotional techniques and vivid images to influence the soldiers' psyche, raising their morale. In conclusion, it is noted that, despite less qualified staff and less careful editing, frontline newspapers played a significant role in the victory over fascism, supporting Soviet power and ideology.
