Hate Language" of Mass Political Repressions of the 1930-sin the Aspect of Contemporary Legislation
The authors review the historical conditions when "hate language" was widely practiced in the periodical press in 1937-1939. The authors come to the conclusion that the provocation of verbal aggression in the society and media served a means to implement the national campaign aimed at the elimination of the political opponents of the country's leadership. The authors also attempt to assess the use of "hate language" in the periodical media during the Great terror as violation of Articles of the Russian Federation Constitution and the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation.
