The research is devoted to the visual representation of ethnic and national policy in the Russian North in the 1920-1950s. More specifically, the research analyzes the National Soviet Educational literature published for representatives of the Finno-Ugric and Samoyedic peoples of the Russian North. The choice is due to the fact that among these peoples during the analyzed period there were settled and nomadic groups, that provide us with an opportunity to compare the process of adoption of Soviet attitudes by these groups, the speed of assimilation of the elements of new life, the inclusion of their representatives in the Soviet space and the Soviet, non-ethnic identity.
