SEVASTOPOL IN THE HISTORICAL MEMORY OF THE GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR: MEDIA SPACE ANALYSIS

This article identifies the content and structural features of social and media communication of Runet users in relation to the information presence of Sevastopol in the construction of the historical memory of the Great Patriotic War. An interdisciplinary approach is used to fully implement the goal and objectives of the research being conducted. Media and information spaces cybermetry intrinsic to modern sociology make it possible to identify new trends in the formation of unconventional historical attitudes about the Great Victory, including the presence of Sevastopol in the historical memory of the Great Patriotic War. The use of the social media monitoring system "Medialogia" enabled an analysis of information flows about the Great Patriotic War and the role of Sevastopol in the Great Victory. The results of the study can contribute to the development of a guide aimed at intensifying the activities in the field of formation of the historical memory of the Great Victory. The authors believe that it will positively affect the consistent upholding of Russia's historical victories and their preservation in the modern digital space by shaping the agenda and managing information flows in the context of the ideological confrontation of the main world actors.


Introduction
Sevastopol is currently going through a new historical and geopolitical stage. Taking into consideration its historical significance in the internal political map of Russia and its geopolitical role in the international space, it is necessary to understand that the processes of information influence in the region not only remain significant, but have also become relevant when it comes to studying the factors of formation and functioning of certain information flows. These relate to key ideological meanings of Russia, determining actors and the degree of their influence on the change in the structural components of these ideological constructions.
The novelty of the research lies in the identification of the information infrastructure of semantic structures that form the significance of the role of Sevastopol in the historical memory of the Great Patriotic War by analyzing the information flows of Runet using big data.
The fundamental scientific task of this study is the intellectual search for markers of unconventional semantic activity in Internet content. The theoretical significance of the study lies in the systematic application of cybermetry methods and tools to study the nature, causes, basic structural and other characteristics of unconventional processes of constructing new meanings and destroying fundamental historical semantic structures, in particular related to the meanings of the Great Victory. In turn, the selected system of markers for the mobilization of unconventional construction in Internet content can be used by the expert community for modeling and forecasting information processes, as well as in studies devoted to the analysis of the media and Internet space in the field of the information presence of Sevastopol in the construction of the historical memory of the Great Patriotic War.
The scientific novelty of this study consists in the development of a hybrid research strategy and approbation of the methodology for analyzing information flows in the digital environment, identifying a system of markers of unconventional activity in Internet content, destroying the historical basic attitudes towards the Great Victory and the role of Sevastopol in it. It will help to differentiate information streams, their discourses, and reveal the roles in the partner online communities.

Purpose of the Study
The main goal of the research is to identify the content and structural features of social and media communication of Runet users in relation to the information presence of Sevastopol in the construction of the historical memory of the Great Patriotic War. Sevastopol is one of the world's ideological outposts of Russia, which makes it necessary to study data on the nature and specifics of the information flows formation and structuring in the region, primarily in https: //doi.org/10.15405/ejsbs.294 eISSN: 2301-2218 responsibility of the Editors 123 relation to such fundamental semantic foundations as the Great Victory and the Great Patriotic War.

Research Methods
An interdisciplinary approach is used to fully implement the goal and objectives of the research being conducted. The ideas of cybermetry of media and information spaces, intrinsic to modern sociological science, make it possible to identify new trends in the formation of unconventional historical attitudes about the Great Victory, including the presence of Sevastopol in the historical memory of the Great Patriotic War.
Social phenomenology principles (Berger & Lukman, 1995) are used which contribute to the study of the Internet communication factor impact on the image formation of Sevastopol and determination of its role in the Great Patriotic War and cognitive analysis which focuses on the study of the formation processes of the subjective interethnic and interreligious world, subjective perception and interpretation of messages broadcast in social media (Dalton, 1977;Shestopal, 2019).
The works by Castells (2009)  Cases of influence models in social networks (Gubanov et al., 2021), modeling the dissemination of information in social networks (Borgatti & Everett, 2021;Kuikka, 2018;Wang et al., 2020) are of particular research interest. These interdisciplinary studies present a new approach to using dynamic modeling to analyze communication and dissemination of information in social networks which changes the paradigm of modeling information dissemination in social media and lays out a theoretical basis for solving problems of spacetime modeling in the era of big data allowing researchers to classify information streams and search for communities (clusters) of online users.

Empirical research model
The empirical research model consists of the following methods for collecting and Working with the service and generating keywords for groups is iterative. After each classification carried out by means of the developed product, a part of the selected documents would be manually scanned in order to find messages that are not distributed correctly. When such messages are found, the search criteria are refined and a new cycle of work with content is launched.
Data for research analysis was obtained by downloading from 'Medialogia', the automatic system for monitoring and analyzing media and social networks in the online mode, using search queries reflecting the situation in the all-Russian and regional social media space for the topic under study. This automatic system was used for monitoring and analyzing social media because it provides data in real time, being one of the leaders in monitoring and analyzing media and Internet space.
The authors analyzed the information field of Sevastopol, associated with the theme of the Great Patriotic War and given by the regional media, in the period from 2018 to 2020, based on the results of which 109 newsworthy events were identified. Examples of these ranked by importance and the number of audience reached are shown in Table 1. The identified news hooks are classified according to thematic criteria and divided into four generalized streams: 1. Stream associated with the general theme of the Victory of the USSR in the Great Patriotic War.
2. Stream associated with social support for veterans of the Great Patriotic War.
3. Stream associated with the battle and the liberation of Sevastopol.
4. Stream associated with the memory of the defense and liberation of Sevastopol, and the restoration of the city after the war.
For each stream, a linguistic model was developed and search queries were formed, allowing using the 'Medialogia' digital markers to identify the necessary data and exclude irrelevant (so-called 'information garbage').
An example of this is the query "Sevastopol AND (Great Patriotic War OR WWII) AND fascism AND NOT victory". In this case, the task was to analyze publications whose purpose is to distort the events of the Great Patriotic War through the exaltation of fascism.
Receiving this request, the Medialogia system searches for messages containing the words Sevastopol, Great Patriotic War (or its abbreviated form) and fascism, and excluding the word "victory", which is extremely rare in official publications, due to the fact that historically and connotatively, the concepts of 'Great Patriotic War' and 'victory' are inextricably linked.
The use of 'Medialogia' for monitoring social media made it possible to accumulate and structure information documents (messages, comments) from social networks, forums,

Findings and Discussion
Based on the content downloaded from Medialogia, the information flow related to the battle and liberation of Sevastopol for the period from January 9, 2020 to December 24, 2020 was analyzed. The following words and phrases were used as filters to download the The gender is indicated by 41% of authors. The ratio by gender revealed 47% were female and 53% were male. Hence, it can be assumed that the slightly higher involvement of https://doi.org/10.15405/ejsbs.294 eISSN: 2301-2218    In the same period, blogger Dmitry Puchkov (Goblin) (the audience for the author's channel is 2,070,000 users) presented the video 'The Russian North -a history of conquest: Alaska and icebreakers, the atomic power of the Union' (https://www.youtube.com/watch? v = zOTIA93I3Kc) with 394,617 views. Content analysis of the comments under this video revealed a high positive response from the audience demonstrating an interest in history and patriotism, and a desire to promote this topic on the network.

Conclusion and Implications
Media-analytical research has revealed the following agendas. First of all, the analysis of information flows showed that today, the information space in relation to the phenomenon of the Great Patriotic War is heterogeneous. First of all, this is expressed in the heterogeneity of the audience according to age where people of different age categories have different attitudes not only to the war itself, but to its representation in the modern media space. This issue is related to the understanding the perceptions of different age groups to how exactly historical memory should be honoured -to finance and organize specific thematic events or to direct resources to provide direct assistance to the heroes of the war. The next agenda concerns the heroes of the war as living historical artefacts. The categories 'war veteran' and 'children of war' are directly related to the war and to the memory of the Great Victory and military events. It can be assumed that when they pass away, the attitude to the Great Patriotic War may change and/or will fade to a distant memory in the minds of people; although, results can still be observed in the geopolitical, urban spheres in Russia as a whole, and in Sevastopol.
The role of Sevastopol and its influence on the course of military events, and hence, its importance as a patriotic capital and base of the Black Sea Fleet is recognized by people of different age groups, which expresses its importance in maintaining patriotism. Awareness of one's strength and the memory of a common history can have a beneficial effect on the social capital of a society. Therefore, it can be assumed that it is necessary to prevent tendencies that may diminish or eliminate the importance of military events related to the Great Victory, which could negatively affect the climate of Russian society.
The results of the study can contribute to the development of a guide for strengthening activities in the field of formation of a permanent historical memory of the Great Victory and the role of Sevastopol in the historical memory of the Great Patriotic War among Russians.
This will positively affect the consistent upholding of Russia's historical victories and their preservation in the modern digital space by shaping the agenda and managing information flows in the context of the ideological confrontation of the main world actors.
