Abstract
The paper focusses on an understudied topic of psycological warfare during the Great Patriotic War led by various divisions of the Red Army to influence the enemy’s troops. This was a powerful radio propaganda, as well as the visual one — through millions of printed leaflets. Its primary objective was to undermine the morale of enemy troops and force them to stop fighting for unjust causes.
