Vladivostok, Russian Federation
The article deals with the role of official military reports of the Headquarters of the Supreme Commanderin-Chief and reviews of military operations from army newspapers in shaping the perceptions of the population of the Russian province about the World War I. It shows that military news at first were in great demand among the public. Such news were published in all newspapers in Vladivostok, and almost every newspaper published them with additional special applications. However, the quality of war reports did not match their number. A significant place among telegrams was given to the official reports of the headquarters of the Supreme Commander, covering the actions of the Russian army. These reports were composed in such a way as to conceal the course of the war and the truth about it and turned out to be uninformative and monotonous. All this, ultimately, contributed to a decline in interest in the war and a decrease in its popularity in society.
