Formation of the information field about the Great Patriotic War: bibliographic perspective

the focus of this article is the bibliographic index "The Great Patriotic War", which provides a panoramic view of the events and images of one of the most tragic periods in the history of our country. It was a social project, sustained in the traditions of Soviet bibliography, which demonstrates the localization of research and public interest of the society during the war. The bibliographic text of the index of literature is based on the prevailing discourse typical of wartime. In the presence of the core structure of the bibliographic index, its mobility is fixed due to the introduction of special headings and subheadings, which is explained by the dynamics of the displayed events and the desire for a comprehensive representation of the life of society. The index includes information not only about publications directly related to the fighting, but also indirectly reflecting the life of the country through science, education, culture, art, and fiction. In the wording of the titles of sections, headings, subheadings and publications, information about which was included in the index, the idea of the invincibility of Russian weapons based on the patriotism of the Soviet people runs through the red thread. The social status of the publication's hero was also significant. In the studied resource, the author of the article noticed a combination of features inherent in both scientific and auxiliary and recommendatory bibliography. The index's rich information field is characterized by emotional coloring and factography. The meta-informational canvas of the bibliographic index "The Great Patriotic War" allows the historian to use it not only as a reference when identifying literature for his own research, but also to construct events and images of the period of the Great Patriotic War.
