Abstract
The article analyzes the process of the formation of the image of Stalingrad in 1942-1943. The purpose of the study is to examine, based on American cartoons, documentary films, and periodicals, the main points in the evolution of the attitude of American society towards Stalingrad, as well as to demonstrate the complexities and contradictions in understanding the features of the USSR. The study of cartoons will help determine the nature of the interaction between textual and visual images in the US media during the discussion of the outcomes of Stalingrad. The analysis results in highlighting a typology of visual images of Stalingrad.
