The article investigates the coverage of issues related to Ukrainian history and culture in newspapers during the 1941-1943 period of the Nazi occupation. It is noted that the occupation administration granted the newly created local press the right to publish articles on relevant themes. At the same time, the author does not minimize the invasive character of the Nazi occupation and all the atrocities committed during this period on Ukrainian territory, noting that the indoctrination of the local population was among the primary goals of these articles. At the first stage, there was a separation of Ukrainians, especially the younger generation, in their mentality as a distinct nation independent of Bolshevik Russia. The emphasis is placed on the periodicals of the Zaporizhzhia and Dnipropetrovsk regions as they were more Russified in the first decades of Soviet domination, so these publications allowed local people to read about Ukrainian issues. The focus was on the recent tragic history of the Ukrainian people who experienced it under the Soviet regime in the region. Efforts were made to evoke memories of recent events, such as the Holodomor, the Great Terror, and the collectivization and dispossession of peasants. There were also efforts to remind the older generation of the atrocities of the Bolshevik regime, influencing young Ukrainians. At the same time, there were appeals to heroic Ukrainian history, and information about prominent figures in Ukrainian history and culture was shared. Efforts were made to revive ancient Ukrainian traditions in the lives of ordinary Ukrainians. In conclusion, the author emphasizes the similarity in the use of mass media policies between the Germanfascist occupation period and the modern occupation of parts of the studied regions by Russian troops. However, during 1941-1943, there was an emphasis on presenting reliable facts, whereas the modern occupation period is characterized by the widespread dissemination of misinformation.
