Linguistics and ideology in the Primer book of V. G. Goretsky and his colleagues

The article discusses the primer book (Bukvar), which was created in the USSR in 1969 and has been used as a permanent school textbook since 1982. It is still being used in modern Russian schools. The textbook is based on a modified sound analytic-synthetic method of teaching reading. Numerous reprints of the primer allow analyzing the changes in the linguistic component of the methods of teaching schoolchildren to read, as well as examining the evolution of the ideological aspect of this book.
