Abstract
This article analyzes an essay by the American writer J. Kunitz, who traveled across the Republic of Adygea in the early 1930s as part of a group of foreign writers to the southern parts of the USSR. The main theme of the essay of the foreign journalist was the consideration of the methods and ways of solving the national question in the Soviet Union using the example of the Adyghe population. At the same time, the essay examines the process of a radical restructuring of the na-tional republic, both in terms of production and economics, and as part of a change in the very so-cial structure of traditional Caucasian society. Kjunitz documents the transformation of funda-mental social institutions in Adygea, such as the role of the family and women, religion, and edu-cation, in comparison to pre-revolutionary eras. The American author expresses his feelings open-ly, passionately praising the changes he sees before his eyes as modernization and a true “cultural revolution” in the life of the Adyghe people.
