Russian term

программная записка

Russian to English Social Sciences Government / Politics Education policy
Теория «народности» оказалась востребована потому, что ко времени оформления ее XXX-ым в ряде ***программных записок***, поиски идеологического комплекса «русскости», формулы национального развития занимали уже не одно поколение русской интеллигенции.

XXX was an influential education minister in the mid-19th century in Russia who helped devise a "theory of nationality". I'm really not sure how to translate программная записка and there are disappointingly few Google references... помогите, пожалуйста!

Заранее спасибо.

Thanks for the swift reply, Mikhail... in answer to your point as to whether they were published or not, I'm afraid we never get to find out (not in this text, at any rate!)

keynote

Since programmnaya zapiska means a paper outlining one's (or program's) principals, goals and views, sort of justification of some ideological program offered/addresed to sole mates or potential followers, this should be the right term.

"Program keynotes" would be better, I think

pamphlets ?

These were memos that laid out someone's political program/agenda/ideology. If they were published, I would call them pamphlets. If not... well, not sure :)
Peer comment(s):

agree David Knowles : "series of pamphlets" probably gets across ряд and программные

As long as it allows for them to have never been published, I think it's a great choice. Thanks, David!

manifest

maybe this is the right word?

manifest - A public declaration of principles and intentions, often political in nature (see Manifesto)

seems that "manifesto" is more correct spelling

strategic notes

strategic notes - notes on strategy - brief notes whch help later on to read and thing again in detail to produce a comprehencive programme ...

Also, I noted -Теория «народности»- which may be associated with the Nation Formation rather than with the theory of nationality.

neutral Mikhail Kropotov : "Strategic notes" means the notes themselves had some strategic importance (which is not the point)
