Abstract
Aim. Analysis of oral and printed propaganda activities of the Crimean underground during the Great Patriotic War.
Methodology. The source base of the research was materials introduced into scientific circulation for the first time from: funds of the State Archive of the Republic of Crimea, the municipal archive of the city of Saki, funds of the Museum of Military Glory of the «Center for the Development of Children's and Youth Creativity» of the city of Yalta, as well as the newspaper fund of the Crimean Republican Universal Scientific Library named after I. Franko. Agitation and propaganda activities included the distribution of printed materials (leaflets, newspapers, brochures), samizdat, radio propaganda, oral conversations.
Results. Conclusions were obtained on the degree of informational and moral-psychological impact of the agitation and propaganda work of the Crimean underground during the Great Patriotic War on the civilian population under Nazi occupation and on the troops of the satellites of Hitler’s Germany – Romanian and Slovak military personnel.
Research implications. The results of the study can be used to study the history of World War II and the Great Patriotic War, patriotic education, and to counteract the falsification and distortion of the events of 1941–1945, not only in the Russian Federation, but also abroad.
