Abstract
The review article analyzes the monograph by N. D. Kozlov, dedicated to revealing the people’s consciousness in the rear areas of the Soviet Union during the Great Patriotic War and the role of comprehensive propaganda of the country’s leadership in its formation. The author concludes that propaganda did not remain static during the war, but changed as changes occurred at the front and in the rear.
Keywords
