"The student’s" record of Khadi Taktash
The article deals with the educational record of the Tatar poet, one of the founders of the Tatar Soviet poetry Khadi Taktash (Muhammetkhadi Khayrullovich Taktashev, 1901-1931) that was found among the written-off personal records in one of the academic buildings of KFU of the former Kazan Pedagogical Institute. The poet’s creativity is the subject of focus of scientists and has been covered in a range of scientific studies. But obviously, the biography of Taktash has been insufficiently studied. In particular, the article notes the lack of clarity on the poet’s getting higher education in the biographical scientific literature. In this regard, the student’s record of Khadi Taktash dated 1926 is of interest and supplements the biographical information about the poet. The record's documents identify the special status of the non-matriculated student under which the poet (at that time a literary-scientific employee in the Academic Center of the People’s Commissariat for Education of the Tatar Republic) entered the Oriental Department of Eastern Pedagogical Institute in Kazan in 1926, to attend “academic courses on Tatar literature and language arts”. Among other things, the publication of the record's documents contains the hand-written application of Taktash and the typewritten autobiography. Apart from presenting the documents of the student’s records of Khadi Taktash, the article is aimed at drawing attention to the fate of other written-off student files from the 1920-1940ss found in the same source, which may be of scientific interest for the reconstruction of the biographical facts of workers of science, culture and education of Tatarstan.
