Abstract
The author examines the mass reactions of the commonplace consciousness of the Siberian population on the danger of the beginning of the war in the years 1927 and 1929, as well as the attitude of various strata of society to the existing State system and their readiness to come forward in defence of the latter. In the article, the main reasons of forming the mass stereotypes in social consciousness are singled out and analysed. The most striking examples are cited. In the treatment of this phenomenon the professional analysis of the problems is carried out on the State and regional levels. The author makes good use of interdisciplinary approach which successfully combines the historical and sociological aspects of analysis of the theme.
