ABSTRACT
Introduction: the most important period of the ethnic history of the autochthons of the North was the Soviet era. For indigenous children and young people school has been the main instrument of change. In Russian sources, the status of the Soviet school was determined by such notions as Russian/non-Russian, national, school of the peoples of the (Far) North, Khanty/Mansi school, school of the (Far) North. The study of the combination and interaction of these notions in the sources makes it possible «epistemologically» to evaluate the way of development of education in the North and its results in a new way.
Objective: to determine the logic of the Soviet Northern educational discourse of the second half of the 40s – 50s, which gave rise to a controversial reality – the «denationalized national school».
Research materials: for the first time the article introduced into scientific circulation orders and protocols of meetings of the People’s Commissariat / Ministry of Enlightenment of the RSFSR of 1945–1956, as well as publications (books, newspaper and magazine materials) covering the school of the peoples of the North.
Results and novelty of the research: for the first time, an analysis of the basic semantic units of the «northern school texts» and their contexts showed relatively small opportunities for the survival of the national school of the peoples of the North in terms of settling the North by the Russians, Russian-speaking populations and general cultural Russification. It is shown that the process of turning of a school in the native language into a school in Russian one with the native language as a school subject looked in the views of local authorities as natural, organic, while the People’s Commissariat / Ministry of Education sought to indigenization. Awareness of the scale of sociocultural changes in the second half of the 50s and the gradual loss of the relevance of the idea of indigenization predetermined the destruction of the national school of the peoples of the North.
Key words: basic semantic units, stable combinations, school of the peoples of the Far North, national, nonRussian, Russian schools, indigenization, Russification.
Acknowledgments: the research was funded by Russian Foundation for Basic Research and the government of the region of the Russian Federation in the framework of the grant № 18-412-860005\19 «Dynamics and constant in Yugra language consciousness».
