The works the subject of which is the October Revolution are written in Turkmenistan which became a repuclic of the Soviets in 1924. The first of these works is Ata Govşudov’s novel, named “Perman”. Besides, Hıdır Deryayev’s “Ikbal”, Berdi Kerbabayev’s “Aygıtlı Ädim”, Beki Seytekov’s “Doganlar” and Berdi Soltannıyazov’s “Sumbar Akyar” follow it. The October Revolution is recounted in aforementioned novels through three important types. The first of aforementioned types is “favourable type” and the second is “unfavourable type” and the third is “Russian subsidiary type”. Russian subsidiary types undertake a mission to introduce Socialism in the novels which deal with the October Revolution. They come to Turkmenistan as a factory laborer or railway man or engineer before 1917. The lad as favourable type in these novels recounts the idea of Socialism to Turkmen poor.
