Comparative analysis of the implementation of the national policy of the Soviet government in the 1920s in Bashkiria and Chechnya

Kulchitskiy Petr Viktorovich

The task of the author is to try to find specific features in the implementation of the national policy of the Soviet government in the 1920s in Chechnya and Bashkiria. After the establishment of the Soviet power in Russia, the Bolsheviks faced a number of problems in the field of national policy, one of which was the lack of support in national areas. In this regard, at the X Congress of the Party, it was decided to continue the process of the Sovietization of the national outskirts. The national party nomenclature was to become the conductor of the policy of the Soviet power. But to achieve this aim, time was needed, which the Bolsheviks did not have. Therefore, the author considers the unification of national regions with Russian-speaking provinces as an attempt to accelerate this process at the expense of the Russian-speaking proletariat and party nomenclature, designed to promote the Sovietization in the regions.
