First edition, 8vo (21.2 x 16.6 cm); [2], 38 p., 6 leaves of the thicker paper, restoration to title-page; in later plain covers, strengthened with mica paper, small stain on the title page, a very good copy. Extremely rare edition, a lucky survivor in the original state: the 6 carton leaves at the back of the block was intended… for cut-outs of the letters for learning purposes. Only known copy is held at the Russian National Library. The bukvar was published during the Civil War as part of an initiative aimed at eradicating illiteracy while promoting communist ideology. Printed in Kharkiv, where Soviet power had been established since late 1919 (following the entry of Red Army troops on December 12, 1919, and the formation of the Southwestern Front on January 10, 1920), the primer is notable for its agitational content. The first 23 pages feature revolutionary slogans such as 'We were slaves', 'We are not slaves, 'We won', 'Victory brought freedom', and 'We will build a new world', presented in both printed and cursive forms. Each slogan is accompanied by a woodcut illustration. Additionally, the primer contains significant political information addressing topics like 'Where does the capitalist extract profits?' and 'What is Soviet power?'. The book concludes with all six separate cardboard sheets of the cut-out alphabet still intact. Each page features 24 poster-like woodcuts by an anonymous artist. The style of these illustrations resemble the works of Dmitrii Moor at the time, as well as Kharkiv-based Vasyl Yermilov. These woodcuts are important examples of a very short-lived style in Bolshevik book design: the Socialist lubok.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. Quarto 26x18 cm., wrappers, 121 pp. I.V. Val'ter, cover & illus. A grammar and writing primer for Nenets people in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug, published by the Educational and Pedagogical Department. Nenets is an Uralic language distantly related to the Finnic language group. G.N. Proko…f'ev (1897-1942) was a Russian ethnographer who worked on languages and cultures of Siberia, particularly of the Enets and Selkup people. This grammar, like many that were distributed in minority languages of the USSR, is heavily laced with propaganda to inculcate young readers from an early age with Marxist-Leninist world views that was inseparable from language and learning. The Nenets are also known as Samoyeds or Yuraks who live in the far north of the Arkhangelsk Oblast. This is a rare work, with only one institutional holding found worldwide in microform (Columbia). A very fine copy. I.V. Val'ter (illustrator).
