 The purpose of this article is to show the opportunities of periodical press as mass media to reveal the ideological attitudes of right-wing conservative organizations. The retrospective, historical-comparative and problematic methods used for its implementation make it possible to compare the program and statutory provisions of the regional right-wing parties in the studied period with submission of their informative content in the press, to reveal redistribution and opportunities of program official documents and periodicals in this process.
 
 The conceptual ideological framework of political parties, including right-wing conservative ones, was laid down in the program and statutory provisions of organizations that had a certain textured limit. In such conditions, the periodical press organs acted as commentators on the ideological views of right-wing parties, on the one hand, and as mouthpieces and popularizers of their main ideas and political positions, on the other. The article uses specific examples to show the role of periodicals in explaining the programming of right-monarchical political parties and organizations and in broadcasting them to the masses. Based on the analysis of the publishing tasks defined by the periodicals and the slogans and subheadings placed in it, the main political views of the right-wing conservatives of the Volga region at the beginning of the XX century are revealed.
