- When Arkadii Gaidar’s novella Timur and His Team was published in 1940, it gained instant critical acclaim, readers’ recognition, and was included in school reading lists for future generations. While the story cleverly combines an entertaining narrative of children’s adventures with political ideology, its main focus is on the character of Timur who embodies an ideal Soviet child and a talented young leader. In post-Soviet children’s culture Gaidar’s story undergoes numerous textual and cinematic transformations that reinforce some general cultural assumptions about Soviet Russia while simultaneously revising and transforming them. The article traces the evolution of Gaidar’s story over time and analyzes its cultural significance. Ultimately, the new versions of Timur and His Team reveal a need for addressing the past either as a traumatic experience or a nostalgic tribute to happy Soviet childhood where children were raised in the spirit of collectivism, national pride, and moral principles.
