The relevance of the research topic is due to the insufficient knowledge of this problem. Despite a significant amount of research on the history of the Soviet period, the historical and cultural processes in national republics, especially in their specific manifestations, have not always been studied in sufficient depth. It is necessary to fill in the gaps in understanding how Soviet ideology and politics were reflected in the life of Adygea.

The purpose of the research is to identify and analyze the historical and cultural features of the Republic of Adygea during the Soviet period in the second half of the 20th century, to determine their influence on the formation of the modern historical and cultural environment of the region.

The objectives of the study are to examine the specifics of state policy in the Adygea Autonomous Region in the second half of the 20th century, identify its main directions and mechanisms of implementation, analyze the development of the education and science system in the AAO, determine their role in the formation of the cultural elite and the dissemination of knowledge about the history and culture of Adygea.

The research methodology is based on the historical-genetic method, the historical-comparative method, methods of analysis and synthesis for information processing and drawing conclusions.

The results of the study are to assess the effectiveness of the state cultural policy in the region, to identify the main factors that influenced the formation of the national identity of the Adygs during the period under review, and to assess the role of cultural institutions in Adygea.
