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 Consequently, those who transmitted or translated such ideas, were withdrawn from the socio-cultural space.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. 

Abstract: The article is devoted to the analysis of that special role that was assigned to the development of national literature and writers as part of the cultural construction of regions. The subject of the research is the main trends in the development of the national Buryat literature of the 1920s which had been considered to be the literature with a recent system of writing for quite a long time. The author emphasizes the being one of the most important forms of social conciousness, literature has always reflected live styles and world views of people in this or that historical period. The author focuses on the development of the genre system of the Buryat literature. The methodological basis of the research includes the historical cultural approach, the main methods are axiological and narrative. The scientific novelty of the research is caused by the fact that Buryat researchers mostly focus on the descriptive analysis of literary works without focusing on visions, thoughts and feelings of writers that reflected social, political, economic and historical-cultural trends in the development of the 'new' Buryat culture. The main conclusion of the research is that the first after-revolution decade of the history and culture of Buryatia was one of the most dynamic periods when conditions for formation and development of the national literature were created.
