"Больной человек" в эпоху войн и революций. Образ Турции в русской журнальной сатире, 1908-1918

The focus of the work is the process of forming the image of the "Turk" and Turkey in Russian satirical journalism in the era of extreme aggravation of domestic and foreign policy problems of the Ottoman and Russian empires at the beginning of the "age of wars and revolutions". The author shows how against the backdrop of wars - Italo-Turkish, Balkan. World War I, as well as during the Great Russian Revolution, the "repertoire" of traditional stereotypes and clichés of the image of the "Turk" in public opinion and the practice of Russian power discourse changed. The reflection of these processes in the genre of magazine satire (caricatures, feuilletons, humorous poems and anecdotes) gives a clear idea of the state of mind of the reading public in Russia at the beginning of the 20th century. The material of the study proves that on the pages of domestic satirical magazines, the "Turk", as "another", acted as a kind of "mirror", which reflected the internal problems of Russian society, which was undergoing radical political, cultural and socio-political changes.
