THE FUNCTIONING OF INTERNET RESOURCES AND COMMUNITIES IN THE SOCIAL NETWORK “VKONTAKTE” DEDICATED TO THE GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR

Abstract: the article analyzes the functionality and accessibility of Internet resources devoted to the themes of the Great Patriotic War, the author pays special attention to communities (publics) and groups of the social network “Vkontakte” with an audience of more than 100 people, noting the advantages and disadvantages of these sites. Of the groups and communities considered in the article in the social network over the past three years only two have ceased to exist, and one has changed its subject, the rest continue to work at present. Unlike specialized resources such as the sites “Pamyat naroda” and “OBD Memorial” social network “Vkontakte” communities are able to draw attention to various aspects of the war to a large audience, however, as the analysis showed, they most often borrow and copy the previously posted on other resources material, rarely being themselves a source of original information. The study of these Internet resources was carried out as part of the project “Sergeant’s Frontline Notes” dedicated to the creative heritage of the veteran of the Great Patriotic War, the Bolshemurashkinsky teacher and artist R.S. Grazhdaninov, author of the book of the same name memoirs, and his comrades.
