The review deals with the second volume of the academic edition “The History of Ural Literature,” prepared by a group of scholars from the Ural-Siberian scientific community. The merit of the issue is presenting the literary process and the Ural writers’ community as a complex sociocultural phenomenon aimed at work professionalization and connected with the history of the region’s self-determination. When presenting specific names, the authors of the project followed the principle description tasks: to show the connection of the writer’s biography and work with the territory, to emphasize how the works are filled with impressions of Ural life, to draw attention to the writer’s involvement in local cultural communities and support from leading literary figures and critics. Since the book covers a wide range of authors, a number of conclusions significant for the regional literary process understanding can be drawn. Biography materials allow speaking of a variety of social segments of people involved in writing: from base estates and plant workers to noble and intellectual people. Not everyone was ready for professional literary activity, but all quite openly demonstrated their reading tastes. By the end of the century, the cultural and aesthetic commonality of the Ural literature is defined. Its specific writing style becomes distinctive, with a tendency toward documentality, autobiography, and ethnography. Genre preferences become apparent. Genre preferences become apparent. Most importantly, the names appear, starting to be identified by critics as “the Urals writer.”

The article is devoted to the close historical and ethnocultural relations between the indigenous inhabitants of the Ural-Volga region and Turkmenistan, existing since the Middle Ages. According to Eastern authors, at that time part of the Bashkirs lived on the Syrdarya and in the Aral Sea region, along with the ancestors of the Turkmens, from where, due to political upheavals, some moved to the interfluve of the Urals and the Volga, while others moved to the Amudarya and further to the Transcaspian. Of particular interest for the development of our theme are similar subjects in Bashkir and Turkmen folklore. For comparison, several Bashkir traditions recorded by P. Nazarov, N. Maliev, R. Kuzeev and others are given in the work. The mention of Oguz-Khan, Turkmenistan, Turkmen khans, the wolf is common for folklore, especially the south-eastern Bashkirs. Other sources often mention Gorkut-Ata — the hero of the Oguz epic. A large number of ethnonymic parallels with the Turkmens also speak about the Oguz origin of some Bashkir clans. In the names of the settlements of Bashkortostan, the ethnonym “Turkmen” is also recorded. There are other similarities: both nations profess Islam, and the Turkmen language, in a number of phonetic features, draws close to Bashkir. Since 1993, the Turkmen Cultural Center has been actively operating in Bashkortostan. Republic representatives take part in many international forums, often held recently in Ashgabat.
