Eduard Päll

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eduard Päll (Pseudonyms Hugo Angervaks and Siim Sepik , born October 2 . Jul / 15. October  1903 greg. In Koosa, rural community Peipsiääre ; † 13. June 1989 in Tallinn ) was an Estonian linguist and literary scholar, writer and party official.

Life

Eduard Päll went to school in Tartu until 1918 and moved to Petrograd in 1918 , where he joined the Red Army . After the Estonian War of Independence , he stayed in Soviet Russia and studied at the Pedagogical Institute there. From 1924 to 1926 he was an Estonian teacher in Omsk Oblast . In 1929 he finished his studies at the Heart Institute in Leningrad , where he was employed from 1931 to 1938 as a doctoral student and later as a scientific secretary.

After the Sovietization of Estonia in 1940 he went to Tallinn and since then has been actively involved in the restructuring of the company, but had to move back to the Soviet Union after the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941 . From 1946 he was a member of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR , from 1947 also in the Supreme Soviet of the Estonian SSR , of which he was chairman until 1950.

From 1950 to 1955 he was head of the Chair of Estonian Language and Literature at the Pedagogical Institute in Tallinn. Afterwards he was director of the Institute for Language and Literature (Estonian. Keele ja Kirjanduse Instituut ) of the Estonian Academy of Sciences , the forerunner of today's Institute for Estonian Language and the Under-und-Tuglas Literature Center . He then worked in other functions at the same institute and at the Academy of Sciences until 1973. Like Endel Sõgel , he was known for his strict ideological line, which, for example, prevented an employee from joining the party because he "had a brother who was emigrating, where even a volume of his poetry was published".

Päll had been a member of the CPSU since 1920 and of the Estonian Proletarian Writers' Association since 1926.

plant

Päll's first literary attempts come from his time in Petrograd in the 1920s, when he published in magazines there. His book debut also took place in Leningrad. While the earlier works deal primarily with the Russian Civil War and the revolutionary struggle, its topic expanded in the period after the Second World War.

In the pedagogical area, Päll has mainly compiled school books and reading books. His scientific work is narrow and characterized by a strictly Marxist attitude, for example when he decides on the Estonian literature published in the Soviet Union that it has "never given up the battle banner of the Estonian working people".
