TI - The Italian writings of Edvige Toeplitz Mrozowska on Soviet Central Asia and the Bolshevik revolution
AB - 
	The aim of the paper is to answer the question about the attitude of Edvige Toeplitz Mrozowska to the Soviet revolution with which she entered in a direct contact during her travel to Tajikistan in 1929. In the period between 1930‒1933 she devoted two texts, important in her literary output, to the revolution and the reality of Soviet Central Asia. The first is an account of the expedition to the Pamir Mountains led by Mrozowska, and, apart from the geographical subject matter typical of such texts, it contains observations regarding socialist changes in the newly established Tajikistan, while the second one is not only a collection of sketches related to the analysis of revolutionary reality, but also a kind of project with historical and even historiosophical aspirations.
