- Abstract
Interest for the wartime themes is quite understandable in the year of the 70th anniversary of the Victory in World War II. One of these themes – children and their life at the wartime – is interesting by many reasons. Researches in education were still carried out, and the change in the attitude of the Soviet periodicals of the wartime demonstrated the scope and role of children’s periodical press. It was impossible to protect children against the horrors of war, but some of the most efficient means to reduce war impact were those children’s magazines, which were published even before the war, which were well-known by children, on which pages there were both descriptions of heroic deeds at fronts and the examples of bravery in the rear life, and funny pictures raising optimism. Characters of children’s magazines advised how to help adults at the difficult wartime and coloured brightly the joy of victory after the war. The paper considers these issues by the example of one of the most popular children’s magazines of the Soviet Union.
