Тематическое и визуальное содержание татарского букваря 40–50-х годов XX века
Subject Scope and Visual Content of a Tatar Primer in the 1940s and 1950s

Summary/Abstract: The appearance of a new generation of Tatar primers in the 1940s and 1950s was conditioned by the general tendency towards standardization and unification of textbooks, the conversion of the Tatar language to the Cyrillic alphabet, and the socio-political conditions which emerged in the late Stalinist Russia and during the period of thaw and liquidation of the consequences of Stalinism in the USSR. The analysis focuses on the verbal and visual texts of two (coming one after the other) primers by M.Kh. Kurbangaliev and G.G. Saifullin, which were the only Tatar primers for children at that time. Special attention is given to the process of further Sovietization of alifba and to the problem of continuity and break-up in the Tatar Soviet primer tradition.
