Статья ставит задачу выявить устойчивые механизмы телевизионного дискурса, через которые происходило переосмысление исторической памяти и конструирование новых символов ядерной угрозы в условиях нового витка конфронтации на последнем этапе холодной войны. Основным источником статьи являются телепрограммы «Международная панорама», «Время», «Новости» и «Прожектор перестройки», где память о Хиросиме соединялась с текущими сюжетами международной политики и становилась частью устойчивого символического ряда. В исследовании рассматриваются приемы, с помощью которых телевидение расширяло круг «жертв» ядерной эскалации: от японцев, пострадавших во время ядерной бомбардировки, до европейцев и американцев, участвовавших в протестах против гонки ядерных вооружений, что позволяло выстроить образ бесправия и фиктивности «буржуазной демократии». </p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article examines the role of Soviet television in the late 1970s and early 1980s in constructing the image of the United States through the prism of the nuclear threat. The article seeks to identify the recurring mechanisms of television discourse through which historical memory was reinterpreted and the new symbols of the nuclear threat were constructed in the context of a renewed confrontation at the final stage of the Cold War. The main sources of the study are the programs Mezhdunarodnaya Panorama (International Panorama), Vremya (Time), Novosti (News), and Prozhektor perestroiki (Spotlight on Perestroika), where the memory of Hiroshima was intertwined with the contemporary issues of international politics and became part of a stable symbolic repertoire. The analysis focuses on the techniques by which television expanded the circle of “victims” of nuclear escalation – from the Japanese affected by the atomic bombing to the Europeans and Americans participating in the protests against the nuclear arms race – thereby shaping the image of powerlessness and the illusory character of “bourgeois democracy”.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>советское телевидение</kwd><kwd>ядерная угроза</kwd><kwd>холодная война</kwd><kwd>гонка вооружений</kwd><kwd>Международная панорама</kwd><kwd>образ США</kwd><kwd>пропаганда</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Soviet television</kwd><kwd>nuclear threat</kwd><kwd>Cold War</kwd><kwd>Hiroshima</kwd><kwd>arms race</kwd><kwd>image of the United States</kwd><kwd>propaganda</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group><funding-statement xml:lang="ru">Работа выполнена при поддержке Российского научного фонда по гранту № 22-18-00305-П.</funding-statement><funding-statement xml:lang="en">This work was supported by the Russian Science Foundation under Grant No. 22-18-00305-П.</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Барт 2014 – Барт Р.
