metadata.name: dc.description.abstract
metadata.value: The aim of the article is to reveal and to elaborate on the figurative and symbolic frameworks in visualization
  of the topic of space in the Soviet print propaganda of 1957–1965 as well as to evaluate the effectiveness
  of the information and propaganda campaign in terms of public political sentiments. The source base is made
  up of several thousand of posters, caricatures, cartoons, and other thematic illustrations. The context of their
  creation, semantics, and distribution are reconstructed by means of bibliographic analysis and content-analytical
  methods. Analysis of personal sources (diary entries, memoirs, and “letters to the authorities”) is used to describe
  of the presence of the theme of space in everyday life. Visual propaganda embraced space in relation to almost all
  key aspects of the life of Soviet people through 1) political ideals; 2) self-identification as belonging to a particular
  entity; 3) a sense of active personal responsibility for the country; 4) understanding the USSR’s global role during
  the Cold War. In general, initially there were a genuine interest, pride for the country, and no rejection of propagandistic
  campaign about the space exploration. However, at the end of the period, some aspects were treated
  with skepticism due to a lack of novelty in the coverage of events and presence of problems in other fields. At the
  same time, visual propaganda contextually matched the Soviet citizens’ opinions, and some of them participated
  in creation of the “space” pictures, that indicate the audience’s attention to visual content. Anyway, its ideological
  role gradually underwent transformation from ideological to routine meaning.
