NEW OPPONENT’S FACE_CARICATURES ABOUT USSR IN CANADIAN POLITICAL DISCOURSE (1945-1953)
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The end of the World War Two had marked a significant change in the foreign relations balance, especially in the role and the number of the major powers which included for that moment USSR and USA which led to the Cold War start. It is questionable and scientifically interesting to reveal how the Canadian attitude to the later-Stalinist Soviet Union had changed from mostly allied to mostly hostile. Using the visual history approach among with the discourse studies, the author studied how this relation change had occurred using the caricatures as the primary sources. The article concludes that the change in the attitude was slow and was speeded by first Cold War conflicts and tensions which all were reflected, especially like the Korean War. The author also connects these transformations with the internal changes like the Gouzenko Affair and the change of leadership. In the same time, it is stated that negative connotation and portraying of the USSR as an aggressor were done without trying to humiliate the Soviet State, viewing the Cold War as a result not only of the East aggressive policies, but also of the West

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
