Abstract
The purpose of the study is to analyze the history of development of the Soviet ethnographic science, formation of its categorical perception. In the 1960–1970s, new historical sources concerning the issues of ethnogenesis and ethnic history entered the historical science. The genealogical chronicles of the Bashkir “shezhere” clan using the example of the Bashkir ethnos were included into a scientific circulation. Scientific discussions of two outstanding scientists R.G. Kuzeev and S.M. Abramzon concerning the early stages of the Bashkir ethnogenesis were never published. The epistolary heritage of scientists allows presenting earlier unstudied problems of the Soviet ethnographic science. The correspondence of R.G. Kuzeev and S.M. Abramzon represents real-life communication, illustrates the scientific knowledge, the choice of research approaches applied in the creation of a scientific concept of the origin of the Bashkir people. In the mid-sixties R.G. Kuzeev developed a program and methodological base for the scientific study of the ethnogenesis of the Bashkir people, which was introduced in the work of the Bashkir Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences within the next forty years. The second problem was the chronological approach to Bashkir shezhere and the definition of the early “Bulgar” layer correlated to the period of the XV–XVI centuries. The correspondence between R.G. Kuzeev and S.M. Abramzon shows that S.M. Abramzon took an active part in all these scientific structures of R.G. Kuzeev at the level of choosing specific research techniques and in the creation of wide scientific generalizations.
