Abstract

The notion of “propaganda” turned up for the first time in Europe in the year of 1622 when the Pope XV. Gregory decided to establish a subsidiary institution to the church called “Sacra Congregatio Christiana Nomini Propaganda” so as to spread the teachings of Catholicism and also struggle against the harmful effects of Protestant church in a more efficient way. Forasmuch as numerous definitions, applications and academic studies have been done in this respect from then on, the framework of the notion have broadened step by step. The most distinguished examples of the concept on the practical level are Lenin’s and Hitler’s technics of propaganda. They both made a greater theoretical and practical contribution than anybody else to make it go ahead and be more popular all over the world. V. I. Lenin’s technics of propaganda are no doubt more original than Adolf Hitler’s since he lived before Nazi era. V. I. Lenin obviously added the well-known conflict culture of Marxist doctrine to the notion of propaganda. Despite lots of negative meanings have been loaded onto the notion of propaganda from those times, it has always been the most influential means especially in the political arena at the same time.
