The study of the visual content of the media as a tool of propaganda and information and semantic warfare is an urgent problem today. The purpose of this work is to analyze and systematize the features of the visual image of a «Ukrainian bourgeois nationalist» in the cartoons of Soviet Ukrainian satirical magazine «Perets’» («The Pepper») in 1941–1991, to consider the changes of this image over time. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the comprehensive consideration of this insufficiently researched topic using a quantitative approach. The studied image was generally based on the «Petliurist» visual image. Association both with the USA and Nazism was widespread. In the 1970s, this image was systematically combined with the motif of «hostile radio voices», more often undergoing dehumanization in the form of a dog. The dynamics of the popularity of the topic correlated with ideologically important anniversaries. In the 1980s, the number of publications on the subject decreased, and after 1987 they disappeared.
