In the late 1920s and early 1930s, the problem of "destruction of kurkul (kulak) as a class" was of key significance for communist totalitarian regime ideology in the USSR. The processes connected with dekulakization were particularly cruel in the Ukrainian SSR, which was characterized by powerful national liberation movement and predisposition to individual agriculture. An important component of these processes was propagandistic support of repressive policy of the regime, especially through the printed press as the most accessible mass media type at the time. Due to the periodicals, the image of kurkul as an "enemy of the people" and a "wrecker" was shaped. In the article, the authors' aim was to study the publications in central and local Soviet newspapers and define specific features of functioning of propaganda in the USSR. Archival materials and testimonies of direct victims and eyewitnesses of dekulakization were used, too. Analysis and comparison of sources of different kinds revealed the real situation at the time. Finally, shaping the enemy image by the communist propaganda led to the dehumanization of society and justified the murder of millions of people. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
