The aim of this article was to discuss new methods of researching the printed press using digital humanities tools. The goal of these methods is to reintroduce the cognitively valuable resources of the digital press into scientific circulation. As one practical solution, the authors of this article proposed the ChronoPress corpus, which includes a representation of the communist press and a rich selection of analytical tools. The genesis, design principles, and main features of ChronoPress were discussed. Moreover, several scenarios for the use of this infrastructure demonstrating its exploratory capabilities were presented. Particularly important here are lexical time series, which allow us to discover the dynamics of processes developing over time and ChronoPress applications can be seen in the form of interactive charts that run a generator of lexeme concordances at specific points on the chronological axis. The corpus is annotated morphosyntactically and semantically (basic categories) and currently covers the years 1945-1966.
