Annotation	The article is devoted to the history of the Northern faculty of A. S. Enukidze Oriental Institute in Leningrad in the context of the state strategy of training of specialists for the Soviet Far North in the post-revolutionary period. With a significant attention of researchers to this topic, a number of archival materials were not introduced into scientific circulation, allowing supplementing the picture of the first years of the history of one of the most important centers of the state policy on cultural and political integration of the peoples of the North. The methodological basis of the study was the general scientific dialectical method of cognition, which includes the principles of historicism, objectivity and consistency. The tasks related to the reconstruction of the system of relations between the scientific corporation and the government were solved based on a new reading of the achievements of historiographic tradition, a diverse set of sources. The study concluded that the creation of such a center was an important and largely symbolic step, indicating the desire of the authorities to civilize the Northern peoples, but the results of its work cannot be evaluated unambiguously. Practical implementation caused a lot of criticism, which was a consequence of both intra-institutional rivalry and reaction to real failures and problems. Thus, we cannot speak about the success of the project of education of the personnel of the “national intelligentsia” in Northern faculty in the shortest possible time in relation to the 1920s-1930s.
Key words	Northern faculty of A. S. Enukidze Oriental Institute, Institute of Northern peoples, history of science in Russia, V. G. Tan-Bogoraz, the Soviet Far North
