Роль этнических факторов и «административных ресурсов» в истории советского языкознания первой половины ХХ века
The Role of Ethnic Factors and „Administrative Resources“ in the History od Soviet Linguistics of the First Half of the 20th century

Summary/Abstract: The author of the present study deals with the ethnic factors in the development of Soviet humanities, especlally in the field of linguistics connected with Marr‘s linguistic doctrine. The study is based on several relatively new treatises on the problems linked to the relation of early Soviet régime towards the weakening of the Russian national element in official Soviet administrative bodies and the strengthening of everything non-Russian, e. g. Latvians, Jews etc. The case of Marr and marrism is closely connected with the Caucasian ethnic impact (famous and fatal triangle Marr – Stalin – Chikobava). The two stages in the development of the oficial Soviet attitude to national and ethnic problems in the sphere of humanities manifest the manifold and ambiguous importance of Marr’s theories as well as the complicated strategical steps of former Soviet power.
