Abstract:
The occupation authorities believed that the propaganda is the most important method of controlling the occupied territory of the North Caucasus. The tasks to ensure the loyalty of the population, to create the social support for the occupation regime were transferred to propaganda. The implementation of propaganda was preceded by a long and serious training, the establishment of special propaganda bodies, development programs of outreach activities. Almost all employees of the occupation administration among the population of the occupied territories were involved to propaganda work. But its effectiveness was significantly reduced due to the nature of the occupation policy.

Abstract:
The article discusses the role of propaganda in the civil war in the African Republic of Rwanda. The attention is paid to the role of the so-called "Free radio" and "television of a thousand hills". The materials for the preparation of this article are the media archives, official reports of governments and international organizations, as well as scientific articles and studies. There were used such scientific methods as analysis and synthesis, concretization, generalization while solving the research tasks. In addition, the paper used the historical-situational method, involving the study of historical facts in the context of the period under review in conjunction with the "neighboring" events and facts. The author came to the conclusion that the conflict of the Hutu and Tutsi in Rwanda is also an example of how the media was used to promote hate for the purpose of genocide, and how conflicts are dealt with using simplified concepts and their deeper causes and characteristics are ignored, which only exacerbates the problem. Similarly, intentional or not, the propaganda in the media becomes an integral part of what is happening in the world of local conflicts, fracturing the society, aggressive tuning of its representatives against each other and creating obstacles to compromise.
