The findings indicate that after October revolution of 1917 Tatar dramaturgy experienced a change of artistic paradigms which results in the refusal of national and universal human values. The analysis of G. Ibragimov’s drama “Яңа кешеләр” (“The New People”, 1920) and K. Tinçurin’s comedy “Җилкәнсезләр” (“Unmoored”, 1926), the most striking examples of “new Soviet plays”, allows identifying the typical features of forming Soviet Tatar dramaturgy: propagation of “building a new life”; conflict based on class struggle; strict division between positive and negative personages; artistic integration of realistic trends and elements of revolutionary romanticism; prevalence of proletarian humanism over the universal one. National dramaturgic traditions of the beginning of the XX century fully survived only in émigré literature.
