The present study offers a diachronic approach to violence concept modeling. Articles from the Molod Ukraїny of 1960 dealing with or mentioning the issue of violence were analysed from a linguoconceptual perspective. Four thematically linked categories of articles present violence in slightly different ways. While the foreign news and reports on daily manifestations of violence actualize a socially significant concept of violence, in the articles on heroism during the Great Patriotic War and other significant events, the concept appears as ethical. Mental representation of violence is connected with the concepts of winner, martyr, hero, evil, and enemy.
