Abstract

The Omsk Telegraph and Omsk Bulletin newspapers, which were popular among the population and became a kind of tool for forming public opinion, were used as a historical source in the work. The use of the problem-chronological method made it possible to identify and consider the characteristic features of everyday life through the prism of periodicals. The comparative-historical method was used to compare newspaper materials on a specific problem. As a result, the authors have identified the main directions of everyday life of citizens, which were most widely reflected in publications during the period under study. These are issues of improvement of the city, sanitary and epidemiological condition, construction of water supply, cultural and entertainment sphere, information about various incidents. The information presented in the notes, feuilletons and journalistic articles gave a comprehensive description of the reality that took place. The study based on the materials of the periodical press shows the participation of urban residents in charitable and educational activities. It is noted that most of the publications are presented in the form of notes containing brief information without any analysis of events. Nevertheless, the regional periodical press as a historical source has a great informational potential for studying everyday life. The authors note the importance of the integrated use of newspapers, official documents, memoirs and letters in order to fully immerse themselves in the atmosphere of the early twentieth century and to create a vivid image of the city with its problems and achievements in various fields.
