A collected volume of 23 scholarly articles examining the formation, history, and social characteristics of the working class and peasantry in the national (indigenous ethnic minority) regions of Siberia during the Soviet period, covering principally Buryatia, Yakutia, Tuva, the Altai, the regions of Western and Eastern Siberia with significant indigenous populations, and Kamchatka. The studies span the 1920s through the early 1960s, addressing the creation of industrial cadres in regions without a prerevolutionary proletariat, the collectivization of nomadic, pastoral, and hunting economies of the indigenous peoples of Siberia, the development of light industry in Buryatia and gold-mining in Yakutia, the wartime working class of Western and Eastern Siberia, and the formation of a Soviet indigenous intelligentsia from worker and peasant backgrounds. Several articles examine the transformation of "small peoples of the North" (Nanai, Itelmen, peoples of the Amur basin and Kamchatka) under Soviet nationalities policy. The responsible editor, Aleksei Pavlovich Okladnikov (1908-1981), was one of the most decorated Soviet scholars of the twentieth century: Academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences (1968), corresponding member of the British Academy (1973), laureate of the Stalin Prize (1950) and the State Prize of the USSR (1973), Hero of Socialist Labor (1978), and director of the Institute of History, Philology and Philosophy of the Siberian Branch from 1961 until his death. His role as the institutional and scholarly guarantor of the volume places it at the highest level of Soviet Siberian academic production. With a print run of only 1,300 copies, among the smallest for any Novosibirsk Nauka collected volume of this period, the book reached primarily specialist institutional collections and is rare in clean copies outside Russia.
