Lenin–Stalinnьꞑ tugunuꞑ adaa-pile ( Tuvan for 'Under the Banner of Lenin and Stalin') [a] was a magazine published in Kyzyl in the Tuvan People's Republic (later the Tuvan Autonomous Oblast of the Soviet Union) from 1942 to 1945. [1] [2] It functioned as the theoretical magazine of the Central Committee of the Tuvan People's Revolutionary Party. [3] [4] The magazine was published in Russian- and Tuvan-language editions. [1] [5] Some 5,500 copies of the Russian version and some 16,000 copies of the Tuvan version were printed between 1942 and 1945. [1]
The magazine began publication in August 1942. [6] It was issued by the recently founded Tuva State Publishing House (Tuvgosizdat). [6] Salchak Toka was the editor in chief of the magazine. [6] Over the course of its existence, editors of the Russian language edition, Pod znamenem Lenina–Stalina, included V. Belov, M. Volkov, Alexander Palmbach , G. Miroshnichenko, M. Suschevsky and Y. Kalinichev. [6]
The first issue of the Tuvan-language version was titled Lenin–Stalinnьꞑ oruu-pile (On the Path of Lenin and Stalin), but from the second issue onwards the name Lenin–Stalinnьꞑ tugunuꞑ adaa-pile was used. [1] [7] Until the end of 1944 the Tuvan version was written in new Tuvan Latin script, after which it switched to the Cyrillic script. [1]
The Russian and Tuvan versions of the magazine did not have identical contents. [1] For example, the first issue of the Tuvan edition in 1942 included 16 articles (with the first two pieces being written by Stalin and Molotov respectively), whilst its Russian-language counterpart included 10 articles (with the first piece being written by Toka). [1]
The magazine covered issues relating to the political, economic, cultural, scientific and statistical affairs of the republic. [6] According to Aranchyn, the publication called for the "abolition of feudalism and overcoming its religious ideology, for the construction of a non-capitalist economic system and development of a new revolutionary-democratic culture based on Marxist methodology and revolutionary practice". [8] In 1943 the magazine carried an article by P. Kalinichev titled "Folklore of the Tuvan People", that classified Tuvan folklore with emphasis on its class and national character. [9] The young Tuvan writer Salchak Samba-Lündup outlined a theory on development of Tuvan literature in an article titled "Socialist Realism'. [10]
Seventy copies of the magazine, in both the Russian- and Tuvan-language editions, are held in the rare-book collections of the Tuva National Museum. [1]
