Aim: general analytical review of the design of childhood on the pages of periodicals for children and youth of the late XIX - early XX centuries. The work reveals the main theoretical aspects of researching the texts of children's magazines within the framework of discourse analysis, identifying and describing the main characteristics of discursive practices. In order to explicate the content of the image of childhood, we singled out and analyzed the representations reflected in journalistic articles in the genre of journalism. In pre-revolutionary Russia, the organization of discursive space in children's magazines played a huge role, since the content of magazines particularly influenced children's socialization through the organization of leisure, cognitive, and communicative activities and defined the child's mental space. As a result, various models of child design were identified that revealed the transformation of the child's image under the influence of the social and political environment of that time.
