"Great Soviet Encyclopedia (GE)" is a publication that became a symbol of the totalitarian period of Soviet history. Created in 1926, this encyclopedia was intended to comprehensively illuminate all areas of life, from geography to politics, from culture to science. In her articles, she presented an idealized picture of Soviet reality, reflecting the party's dogmatic views and official ideology. "Great Soviet Encyclopedia (GE)" was not only a source of information, but also a tool of propaganda and control over the masses. Its pages were designed in such a way as to give readers the correct idea of the truth that the Soviet government sought to promote. Thus, the "Bolsha Soviet Encyclopedia (GE)" became not only a reference book, but also a tool of cultural identity and communication in the conditions of the totalitarian regime.
