The relevance of this study is due to the fact that the North-West of the RSFSR during the war period was in a long Nazi occupation. The victims of the occupation policy were not only adults, but also children. This led to interest in the problem of military childhood on the part of the partisan periodicals distributed among the civilian population of the territories occupied by the Nazis. The purpose of the work is to analyze the reflection of the problem of military childhood on the pages of the regional partisan press during the Nazi occupation of the territory of the North-West of the RSFSR using the example of the newspaper “Young Avenger”. The study used the comparative-historical method, methods of system-functional analysis and synthesis. The article presents an analysis of the newspaper "Young Avenger", published in May-July 1943 specifically for Soviet children and adolescents living in the occupied territory of the Leningrad Region. The newspaper published articles, essays and notes on various subjects: the participation of the younger generation in the fight against the enemy, aspects of the daily life of children and adolescents in the home front (study, leisure, assistance to the front, the policy of the Soviet authorities on the protection of motherhood and childhood), the crimes of the invaders, victories of the Red Army and its allies. The pages of the newspaper regularly posted materials that ridiculed the top of the Third Reich and the allies of Germany, as well as Wehrmacht soldiers. In general, the structure of the newspaper was similar to Pionerskaya Pravda, the most popular Soviet periodical for children and teenagers.
