From the history of the literature bibliography on pedagogy and popular education in the first post-revolutionary quinquennial (1917-1921)
The pages of pedagogical periodicals were the regular place of discussion of vital issues of education, upbringing and training, where critical and bibliographic reviews of current educational literature were published. Educational issues in the pages of educational journals were among the most pressing, urgent and burning. The number of journals to 1917 exceeded one hundred titles. The confronting educational problems of bibliography affected inevitably its forms and method of preparation, led to a blurring of types, accelerated pace of preparation and publication of bibliographic products. That had negative consequences as well: the desire for more rapid dissemination of information to the broad strata of teaching and students themselves gave rise to the incompleteness of indicators, inaccurate information, errors or omissions that even more exacerbated the complexities of the publishing process at that immediate time. Scientific information bibliography of the discussed period characterized by recommendatory nature and selectivity, which often complicates the determination of its kind, leading to the well-known conventions for inclusion of one or another textbook to the scientific information or recommendatory bibliography. Thus, the pedagogical bibliography of the first post-revolutionary quinquennial reflected fundamental changes in pedagogy and education in its development, which took place in connection with the formation of a new socialist way of development of the country. In the meantime it used and followed the best traditions of advanced pre-revolutionary bibliography.
