International scientific review

The object of the study
is the image of the enemy in the foreign policy of the United States of 
America and Great Britain
. 
The subject of the study
is the socio-psychological processes in the mass consciousness of 
American and British societies, characterizing numerous parameters of perception of the enemy 
and attitude towards him in the concrete historical conditions of the First World War (1914-
1918). The subject of the study also includes the mechanisms, forms and results of perception of 
enemies of Great Britain and the United States in the context of the heightened "Armenian 
problem" (1914-1923). 
The purpose of the study. 
The monograph attempts to reveal the process of shaping the 
"image of the enemy" amid the transformation of British and American societies in the conditions 
of the First World War in general and aggravation of the "Armenian problem" in 1914-1923, in 
particular. The present work is aimed at a comprehensive study of one of the relevant issues of the 
social and "mental" history of the United States and Great Britain, first of all, the disclosure of the 
socio-cultural and psychological phenomenon of percepting the "alien" under extreme conditions of 
the First World War, as well as the evolution of the "image of the enemy" in the postwar period, the 
emergence and transformation in historical memory in settling the Armenian problem. The latter is 
of particular importance for our study, first of all, because it still somehow manifests itself in the 
geopolitics of the most influential European states (Great Britain, France, Germany) and the United 
States of America. And here it is appropriate to note that a law has been adopted recently in France, 
according to which anyone opposing the thesis of the Armenian Genocide must pay a fine of 45 
thousand euros. This country has a very significant and influential Armenian Diaspora.
It can be asserted therefore, that the "Armenian problem" as such has long gone beyond the 
geopolitics of the United Kingdom and the United States, and is an urgent problem not only of 
modern European, but even, we would say, Euro-Atlantic geospace, influencing both the Russian 
Federation and the young Ukrainian state.
