Abstract: The article is devoted to the literature that played the leading role in the development of socialist culture. Base on the analysis of creative writing by Z. Batotsyrenov, Ts. Don, S. Tuy and B. Baradin the researcher demonstrates peculiarities of the development of the Buryat literature in the 1920 - 1930s. Amgalanova emphasizes that the artistic movement of the after-revolutionary decade generally tried to fundamentally change the cultural life of the society by the means of re-evaluation of aesthetic vlues of traditional arts. Those changes included psychological realism, everyday writing style, and drawing from nature. In the 1930s ideological and political beliefs played the leading role in the development of artistic culture. The methodological basis of the research implies historical cultural approach, the main methods of the research are axiological, retrospective, and narrative methods. In conclusion, the author states that the main purpose of socio-humanitarian research is to perform an objective analysis of the repressive policy of the Soviet state, mainly reconstruction and return of the names of the workers of culture and science and their heritage to the artistic and academic environment. 

Abstract: The article is devoted to activity of repressed Buryat writers of the 1920 - 1930's viewed from the new methodological positions. Practically to the end of the 1980's, the main criterion for evaluating their social and creative activity was 'political' accusations. The author of the article pays special attention to the process of rehabilitation when culture activitists whose names were eliminated from the history as a result of repressive policies return to the academic literature. The methodological basis of the research is the axiological approach, the main research methods include historical-cultural, retrospective, descriptive methods and analysis. The objective analysis of social-political and national-cultural activity of Buryat intelligentsia should include full and, if possible, completely new reconstruction and interpretation. This, in its turn, provides big opportunities for methodological experiments and allows to restore historical justice in relatin to Buryat culture activisits who tried to preserve national values when the socialist culture was developing. 

Abstract: The article is devoted to the place and role of ideology in the national and cultural construction of the late 1920's - early 1930's. The subject of the research is the views and opinions as well as social, political and cultural activity of the Buryat intelligentsia that was understood as counter-revolutionary and was conceptualized with such ideologemes as 'borgeous nationalism' or 'pan-mongolism'. As an example, the author of the article analyzes newspaper articles that had a prescriptive nature and required 'self-criticism' from cultural activists. The methodological basis of the research implies the historical-cultural approach, the main methods are historical-cultural, retrospective and narrative. The results of the research demonstrate that when the Buryat culture, national by form and socialist by content, was being formed, it implied those elements of the cultural heritage that were officially understood as 'feudal religious carry-overs' of the exploitative class. Consequently, those who transmitted or translated such ideas, were withdrawn from the socio-cultural space. Pre-revolution Buryat intelligentsia was viewed by the ruling power as an oppositional social group. That had a tragic effect on its status.
