FRONTLINE MEDIA OF THE 21ST CENTURY: REFLECTIONS ON THE BOOK "THE FIELD NOTEBOOK OF SMO"

Abstract

The article is devoted to understanding the specifics of the formation and principles of operation of modern Russian front–line media using the example of a recently published book, the inter-author's project "The Field Notebook of the SMO". The special military operation that began on February 24, 2022 by decision of the President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, identified a number of problematic issues both in the field of worldview and an existential approach to understanding these issues, as well as in the field of purely practical, directly related to psychological assistance to our soldiers in SMO and clarifying key humanitarian issues. The book contains an original philosophical search and a real opportunity to reduce the psychological stress of Russian servicemen stationed in the area of a Special Military Operation by demonstrating vivid examples of spiritual culture in the light of a combination of scientific approach, religious motives, and relevant poetry. Using actual factual material, the author demonstrates the enduring importance of an open, honest and principled dialogue between military men, philosophers, cultural scientists, priests, poets, writers, journalists, bloggers, and all those who care about the fate of the Motherland and the world in this difficult time.
