Wall newspapers as a phenomenon of the Soviet era and operational media emerged in the 1920s and had favorable growth conditions in the 1930s in the printed media of the USSR and the UkrSSR inspired by the ideological scenario of the Soviet government. Supporting the development of wall newspapers, the Soviet government used this type of periodical as an instrument influencing the formation of the consciousness of the Soviet people. It was promoted as a form of activity aimed at creating a socialist state and “socialist democracy” and contributing to the strengthening and cohesion of teams to perform work tasks. The great popularity of wall newspapers in the context of the formation of a totalitarian regime was explained by their strong connection with the collectives issuing these newspapers. Despite the need to comply with ideological principles, wall newspaper contained information about the daily living of collectives, including critical, humorous, and satirical texts related to their lives, as well as significant illustrative material.
