MASS FEATURES

Abstract

The article examines the issue of the influence of the media on the mass audience, which has been relevant for about a century. But this problem in our country acquired a special scope and popularity during the perestroika period of the late 80s - early 90s, when censorship was removed from television screens, radio and print media. If during the Soviet past the media supported patriotic sentiments and the national idea, then after perestroika in the media everything became fragmented.
