Educational process in a non-russian environment in the 19th century: analysis of the normative legal framework

Abstract

The subject of this article is the regulatory legal framework regulating the educational process of nomadic non-Russians in the South of Russia in the context of integration processes, using the example of Kalmyks, Nogais and Turkmens. The basis of the source base for the study was directly the regulatory legal acts regulating the process of formation and development of literacy among non-Russians, as well as paperwork documentation from different levels of government on this issue, identified in the funds of the Russian State Historical Archive, the National Archive of the Republic of Kalmykia, the State Archive of the Astrakhan Region and the State Archive of the Stavropol Territory. The main emphasis in the study is on reconstructing the sequence of actions of the legislator to regulate the process of formation and development of literacy of nomadic peoples, as well as identifying the causes of legal transformations and characterizing the social context of the preparation and implementation of specific sources of law for some non-Russian peoples of the South of Russia. As a result, the author comes to the conclusion that the process of forming a regulatory legal framework regulating the issues of introducing the nomadic non-Russian population to the Russian language within educational institutions as a means of intercultural communication at the same time both depended on all-Russian trends and had its own regional specific features.
