Abstract: The subject of this research is the potential of pedagogical pseudonomastics (science on the pseudonyms the participants of pedagogical process) as an instrument of interdisciplinary analysis of pedagogical history of white émigré of the 1920’s – early 1930’s. The object of this research is the system of pseudonyms presented in the émigré publishers dedicated to pedagogy and cognate areas. Leaning on the modern research of pseudonyms of the white émigré, the authors suggest a so-called “pedagogical filter” that allows among the fictitious names identifying those belonging to prominent pedagogues and find out the scope of works published by them. The scientific novelty consists in the fact that the authors are first to formulate the subject and objectives of pedagogical pseudonomastics as a possible instrument for studying pedagogical history of white émigré, and determination of new data complementing biography and bibliography of the Russian pedagogues abroad. The conclusion is made on importance of the factor of fictitious name for specifying the role of author within the émigré pedagogical space, as well as for understanding of editorial policy of those who covered the pedagogical theme of publishers and hierarchy of presented genres therein. The new archival documents, pseudonyms and their attributions are introduced into the scientific discourse.

Abstract: The object of this research is the process of reception of the Soviet school of 1920’s – early 1930’s in the English periodicals and the role of a prominent English pedagogue-comparativist, the former Russian emigrant Nicholas Hans (N. A. Gantz). Leaning on the traditions of pre-revolutionary Russian pedagogy, practice of the Russian pedagogical emigration and accomplishment of the English pedagogical thought, using the comparative-historical approach, N. Hans depicts the established in USSR system of education in the context of confrontation between the two educational traditions: democratic and autocratic. Despite the fact that the name of N. A. Gantz has been returned to the Russian pedagogy back in 1990’s, the English period of his scientific and teaching activity yet remains insufficiently studied. The authors introduce into the academic discourse a number of his unknown articles dedicated to the history of Russian school and the state Soviet education of the 1920’s – early 1930’s, which were previously published in English periodicals. The article traces N. Hans’ participation in “Pedagogical Annual” and presentation of the Russian theme on its pages.
