Summary/Abstract: The author describes basic features of Soviet and American propaganda during the Cold War. This paper gives an overview of major propaganda institutions and agencies and provides insight into the ways carrying out propaganda activities and into domains in which they were implemented. Due to different views on post-war system of government, this period resulted in ideological struggle of the two super-powers. Being equally armed, both USSR and USA were forced to move their conflict to a different battlefield and to use different means. Both countries sought to win over different countries through their propaganda activities and thus make them adopt their ideologies. Furthermore, the propaganda struggle during the Cold War implied ample “mobilization” of local population for ideological struggle. Both sides developed propaganda activities, organizations and agencies to highest extent.
