The object of research of this article is Soviet propaganda porcelain, produced at the very beginning of the formation of Soviet Russia. The paper considers the beginning of the formation of a new porcelain production after the October Revolution of 1917, which took part in the framework of the Soviet monumental propaganda plan. This plan was developed by the leader of the revolution V.I. Lenin. The transformation of artistic techniques and images used on products made of "white gold" was also analyzed. The image on plates, vases, cups of communist slogans, symbols and portraits of revolutionary persons marked the beginning of the creation of such a unique phenomenon as propaganda porcelain, which was supposed to educate Soviet citizens in the context of party policy. The best Russian artists and sculptors of the first quarter of the 20th century worked on its creation. Therefore, the propaganda porcelain turned out to be highly artistic, which was the reason for its success at the international exhibitions and popularity among foreign collectors. However, this fact, combined with the complexity of production, has formed a high cost of products. This did not allow plates and cups with party calls and portraits of the leaders of the proletariat to penetrate into the wider population and conduct ideological propaganda in the everyday life. At the same time, through the products exhibited abroad, a demonstration of Soviet attributes and culture in general was made, which positively influenced the recognition of the new Russia abroad as an objective reality.

AbstractThis study aims to investigate the ideological propaganda applied by the Soviet Union in schools in Kyrgyzstan during 1924–1925. During these years, propaganda was used in its most widespread form in Kyrgyzstan and education became an ideological weapon. I use the document analysis technique for data collection and collected data by obtaining the necessary permissions from the Kyrgyzstan State Archive. The research focuses on the activities carried out by the Soviet Union to have the Soviet ideology adopted in the old tsarist schools and newly opened schools in Kyrgyzstan after the October Revolution. In addition, this study provides primary sources that are not found in the literature on the ideological educational practices of the Soviet administration in Kyrgyz schools. The Soviet administration prioritized the ideological training of teachers and trained them to transfer the Soviet values to students. The Soviet Union implemented a single educational program prepared by Soviet ideologues in schools throughout its territory. The educational content aimed to eliminate completely the national culture and old beliefs of societies. In addition to the education program, they renamed physical areas, such as school and street names, consistent with this ideology.

The intensification of radical and extremist thinking has become an international cause of concern and the fear related to terrorism has increased worldwide. Early 21st century public discourses have been correspondingly marked by hate speech and ideological propaganda spread from a variety of perspectives through the intensified presence of global social media networks. In many countries, governments have reacted to these perceived and actual threats by drafting policies and preventive programs and legal-security interventions to tackle radicalization, terrorism itself, as well as ideological extremism. Many of the current strategies point to the critical role of societal education. As a result, educational institutions have gained growing importance as platforms for different kinds of prevention protocols or counter-terrorism strategies. However, notably less attention has been paid on the consistencies of values between the aims of the educational strategies for preventing or countering ideological extremism and the core functions of education in fostering individual and societal well-being and growth. Using Finnish education as a case, this paper discusses the challenges and possibilities related to educational institutions as spaces for preventing violent extremism, with special regard to the religious and nationalistic ideologies that divert from those inherent in the national hegemony. This study highlights the need to plan counter-terrorism strategies in line with national educational policies through what we conceptualize as &lsquo ; institutional habitus&rsquo ; .

The USSR is adept at exploiting her technological & other achievements to make news around the world. The general impression to be gained from the press over the last several yrs & at the present time is that the Soviets have been ahead in the propaganda war &, perhaps, in other matters as well. The question is of goals & of how to achieve them. It can be granted that the peoples of both sides want peace. Their Gov's seek to obtain it for them in diff ways. The USSR believes that the way to maintain peace is to establish physical police control over more & more territory until all the world is united. The US has sought an ordered world through strengthening a voluntary association of states, namely, the UN, which the USSR has sought to destroy. Actually, the ideological conflict between the US & the USSR is a short-term problem. More basic & more abiding in the sense of history are the issues of nationalism & the revolution of rising expectations. Nationalism has caused wars in the past, & it is apt to do so in the future as long as nations depend on their own power for their security. In this generation, advances in communications & transportation have made underprivileged & underdeveloped people everywhere conscious of higher standards of living, & they seek these standards for their own. The issue of communism is important, but no war or peace will be won until the issue of nationalism & the revolution of rising expectations are successfully met. AA.

Late in August this year, a message was widely broadcast by the international media. Filing their reports out of Stockholm, journalists from around the world presented their readers and viewers with the news that between 1934 and 1976, tens of thousands of people-more than 90 per cent of whom were women-were victims of sterilization policies in the Nordic countries. Supposedly, these repressive policies constituted the hidden side of the construction of the emblematic Scandinavian welfare state. The present article analyzes the sterilization claims, and, at greater length, opposes the propagandist aims towards which the dubious figures were put: as a vilification of the social welfare system, of socialism in general, of the political left, and of the character and intentions of Karl Marx. It is argued that, far from being a symptom of the social welfare state, the sterilizations were ended by the welfare state as the underlying justification behind the sterilizations-the eugenic aim of eliminating the poor, lazy, and otherwise weaker segments of society-became irrelevant due to the amelioration of the social conditions which had initially engendered the symptomatic poverty. 12 References.

Considers the importance of propaganda & perception management to al-Qaeda's operations. For al-Qaeda, perception management allows the franchise terrorism to develop, fosters social bases of support, provides ideological coherence to desires of hate & vengeance, & cultivates amateur terrorism. Elements of Al-Qaeda's ideological discourse are examined before tracing the development of the network's propaganda & analyzing its propaganda strategies to diffuse its ideology. Its strategies hinge on the multidirectional nature of its propaganda; message & method vary according to those addressed & its goals, which allows the emergence of different theaters of operation among Muslims in the Islamic world & the West. Al-Qaeda's propaganda seeks to terrify while also delegitimizing governments. Counterstrategies include delegitimizing al-Qaeda's discourse, criminalizing the diffusion of violent messages, activation of the media to spread antiterrorist messages, heeding the power of symbols, discrediting those who spread rumors & misinformation, & appealing to emotions.
