Documents of Great Patriotic War Archival Funds as Primary Sources in Formation of Senior Students’ Patriotic Position
The concept of the patriotic position is defined. System and activity and contextual approaches were worked out in developed seniors’ research work archival materials of the Great Patriotic War period (1941-1945). These are documents of the former managing directors of party bodies of the city of Stalingrad and Stalingrad area. These approaches, stated above, promote formation of feelings of respect, pride of the heroic past of the predecessors who to the end struggled with the enemy on fields of battles for freedom and independence of the native land and worked in the back land. These archival materials are one of primary sources, which were written in days of the Great Patriotic War, more precisely and in detail telling about the events which completely affected the course of further life, memory of which continues to pass from father to son. Basing these materials it is possible to study these events in detail, to reveal many little-known facts, but which helped greatly to bring closer this day of the final Victory. For many years seniors have been applying to the Center of documentation to use these materials to write research works. The Great Patriotic War subject is always the most urgent.
