From Informational to Directive Press (Some Aspects of the Soviet Influence upon Bulgarian Press, 1944–1949)

Summary/Abstract: On the basis of a comparison of the Bulgarian sources and some materials of extraordinary importance from the Soviet archives, the announcement analyses the premises and ways for penetration of the Soviet influence in the publications of the Father Front parties and the opposition and the results from it. The main means which carry out the Soviet influence are characterized: the activity of the Soviet mission in the United Control Commission and of the Soviet correspondents in Bulgaria, and also the information and articles, sent by the propaganda institutions of USSR (TASS, Sovinformbureau, VOKS, pan-Slav Committee etc.) for the needs of our press. Conclusions are made for the class and roughly politized and ideologized character of the Soviet foreign propaganda, hypertrophied by the Stalin’s foreign political course of “export of revolution”. An analysis is made of the concrete cases of the interference of the Soviet political representatives in the themes and the structure of the Bulgarian press in a direction of its unification with the Soviet press and in order to conduct the Soviet interests and also the role of the Bulgarian communists from the institutions for management of the press in carrying out the Soviet politics. The initial stage of the transition from informational to directive press is looked upon as realized in a Soviet manner and turned the journalistics into a tool for conducting the politics of the Communist Party in the entire society and for confirmation of the totalitarian system.
