Abstract
The report examines oral family histories of Teleuts that are related to the 1920–30s period of Soviet history. The texts of these histories were collected and written down by the author during the various trips to Teleuts in 1976–2014. Attention is drawn to the fact that in the post-Soviet period, new names and events associated with the Civil war and repressions of the collectivization period were introduced into the narratives. It is pointed out that genealogies and family chronicles, by supporting the memory of people and events of the Teleut history, thus organize and structure their ethnic and kin identity and contribute to the stability of the ethnic group and community as a whole.
