The Introduction of Ankara to The Soviet Union in Novy Mir through the Memoirs of Lev Nikulin

The Ulus newspaper dated December 28, 1934, reported that the Soviet Russian literary magazine Novy Mir printed the impressions of Lev Nikulin, who spent about two months in Turkey. The article, which is said to be describing “New Turkey”, described the author’s cordial and vibrant articles about Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir. This study focuses on the writings of Nikulin about the city of Ankara, which he visited in the middle of his tour of Turkey, and how the Soviet writer conveyed the founding dynamics and the ideology of the Republic to his readers.
