Abstract: The assessment of contribution of the Greek Intellectual elite from Greek speaking areas of USSR is interesting because it points out the policy of the Soviet socialistic government for the heterogeneity of the population — according to their understanding — and mainly because it reveals the ways and the means that the mediators that applied the educational policy, used in order to reshape the new national education system. An archive of 106 textbooks reveals the role of the Greek speaking elite in USSR after the domination of Bolsheviks on the Greek speaking areas on 1920 until the beginning of Stalin’s acts of exile. The aim of this study is to describe this literature and everything around their topics and the role of the local intellectual elite on the ways that they determine this literature and through them their contribution to the local educational policy. Qualitative analysis and the historical interpretive method were used to study the material. As part of this paper, the researcher sought textbooks, recorded them, studied their content, interpreted and processed it. The research material, which was original, was rescued and studied for the first time.
