Abstract
In the article on the basis of analysis of monographic literature and periodic is made an attempt to identify the main trends and ways by public authorities using the periodical press for Soviet propaganda in Ukraine in 1920-1930s. Implementation of party instructions was held by organizing the control over the periodical press and using its capabilities to make an opened and coverted propaganda of Soviet power achievements. Dictatorship of system «RCP(b) – council» based not just on violence but also on propaganda. The impact on the masses, their reformation - these were the main task of the departments of agitation and propaganda of the party committees. They had set a tight organizational, ideological and emotional connections of the masses with Bolsheviks, with the aim of a radical overhaul of the deepest foundations of everyday life. The main means of the control over the press and cultural life had become a censorship. Already in the early years of formation in Ukraine Bolshevik power hierarchy turned on an active process of creating an extensive system of control over the press and printing. Experience in this case was piled up in the first months after coming to power of the Bolsheviks in the former empire. The authorities under various pretexts closed all non-communist publishing houses, newspapers and magazines. Was created its own system of government and pseudo public bodies to monitor the media and publishers. By creating a hierarchy of controlling over the press and publishing bodies, Communist Party authorities in the early 1920s began to actively use the potential of periodicals to implement their own policies and bringing to the public the necessary ideological propaganda. The main publications of that time press were the reports of the successful communist construction in the country, labor achievements description peasants and workers, the fight against speculation, private trade. Press was seen as the most powerful tool in the struggle for influence on the masses. Periodicals covered all aspects of contemporary soviet society life. Thus, in the first half of 1920s the Communist Party authorities have been using the potential of the former Russian journalism. But in the late 1920s - early 1930s the content and media aesthetic level drops significantly. Their meaning is increasingly penetrating the ideological and political clichs and stereotypes of the Soviet party. New journalists, hastily prepared by Soviet universities, had low professional level and sectoral level competence. As a result, the publication has lost its intellectual and analytical content and turned into mouthpieces of the Soviet Communist Party.
