From imperial to soviet school education: problems of the formation of a labor school in the Ku-ban in 1920

The cultural growth of the Soviet multinational people resulted from the purposeful work of the RCP(b) – VKP(b) to eliminate the illiteracy of the population and organize universal education for school-age children. The policy of the Bolsheviks in the 1920s provided Soviet citizens with ac-cess to free education and the right of national minorities to study in their native language. The country faced internal and external challenges that required the diversion of serious state re-sources, but the field of education remained a priority for the Communist Party and was provided with state support. Understanding the Soviet experience of organizing school education in the conditions of the economic crisis of the early 1920s and the socialist modernization of the 1930s remains an urgent topic on the example of the not always successful results of educational reforms in the post-Soviet period. The concept of social justice, which was at the heart of the Soviet school, allowed Russian science to become the leading one in the world. USSR formed school ed-ucation based on the traditional Russian educational concept and those innovations that were im-plemented by the Bolsheviks in the 1920 s and 1930 s. At the same time, it should be noted that the organization and functioning of the Soviet school pursued clearly expressed ideological goals.
