Abstract:
The article deals with the problem of transforming the images of the Sixth Anti-French Coalition participants, who took part in the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig. This main problem is based on the official German periodical press of the 20th century. The changes in the images’ interpretation of former allies, who became enemies, occurred in the numerous transformations, that took place in the sphere of ideology and in the German state structure in the short 20th century. German external relations in different historical periods, as well as the ideology supported in the country, played an equally important role in the process explored in the article. The author reveals the goals pursued by German officials when referring to the historical images of the former allies. The following characteristic features of the images of the participants of the anti-French coalition are highlighted: British, Austrians, Russians. The following conclusions are drawn about the influence of the country's foreign and domestic policy on changes in the official discourse around the contribution of the allies in the Sixth Coalition to the victory near Leipzig.
