Остановка политики «коренизации» в СССР (историософский аспект)

Abstract

In the article, the policy of «indigenization» was seen as an important element in the political development of the Soviet Union. However, by the end of the 1920s, it much exhausted herself. In the context of the growing military confrontation between the USSR and the capitalist countries surrounding it (the “military alert of 1927”), the growth of “local nationalisms” served as a weakening factor for the country. Under these conditions, it was decided to gradually abandon the policy of «indigenization» in favor of encouraging «Soviet patriotism». The result of this policy was the formation of the concept «Soviet people», which was actually built as «socialist in form, national in content» (based on Russian culture and history). This contradiction prevented the formation of a single Soviet nation and served as one of the reasons for the collapse of the USSR, since the concept of «Soviet people» was not close to any of the peoples of the USSR, including the Russian people.
