The Press as a Source of Studying the Visual Heritage of Soviet Everyday Life
( Pp. 59-64)

The purpose of the study. The article undertakes a historiographical and source-based analysis of the potential of the Soviet periodical press as a source of studying the visual heritage of Soviet everyday life. Conclusions. Magazine and newspaper periodicals in the USSR were an important part of the media space, defined and updated the information agenda, broadcast normative meanings and images, performed propaganda and educational functions, formed public tastes and requests, conducted a dialogue with the readership. In modern historiography, the idea of the political and ideological bias of the Soviet periodical press and the limited possibilities of using this historical source is widespread. As a source of research on visual subjects of the Soviet period, periodicals can be in demand in the context of studying «correct» and deviant labor practices, standards of material consumption, leisure activities of Soviet citizens. Based on the established historiographical and source-based approaches to the analysis of the content of journal periodicals, the article records a high degree of relevance of this type of source in the context of studying the visual heritage of Soviet everyday life.
