Formation and Development of the Mass Media of Evenkia and Taimyr in 1930–1940s

This article examines the process of creation and development of mass media in the Evenkia and Taimyr national districts in the first half of the XX century. In the 1930s the foundations of radio broadcasting and periodicals are being laid. This process was complicated by a shortage of equipment and a shortage of employees, but despite this, by the end of the decade, many wall newspapers were published in the districts, numbers of district and regional publications were printed, and the radio network was expanding. Already at this time, a number of newspapers began to publish material in the national languages of the indigenous peoples. During the war years, there was no particular development of the media, however, in the post-war period, due to the improvement in the supply of districts, the development of radio broadcasting took place.
