This study focuses on the influence of Sultan Galiyevist thought on Nazım Hikmet’s poetry. Sultan Galiyev played an active role in the establishment of the USSR and engaged in political struggle. Galiyev, who thought of the proletarian and bourgeois class approach in Marxism’s class theory as the oppressor nation/oppressed nation, was declared a counter-revolutionary by the Soviet Union, was ostracized, and sentenced to death. Although Nazım Hikmet was not a theorist like Sultan Galiyev, he engaged in political struggle in practice, and it is seen that both of them were evaluated from time to time by highlighting their nationalist sensitivities. While Nazım Hikmet gave signs of class theory in the Marxist sense in his texts, he showed signs of Galiyev’s class approach, especially in his texts that can be called narrative poetry. The fundamental commonality between these two names is that both of them handle the idea of the Third World International in their texts and the political vision they put forward regarding the liberation of oppressed nations in the world. In this context, Sultan Galiyev’s idea of the Colonial International was first examined and the comprehensiveness of his theses was discussed, and a theoretical framework was drawn. Then, based on the texts of Nazım Hikmet, the similarities between his political ideas and Galiyevist political thought were studied, and finally, the traces of the liberation of the Third World in his poems were tried to be revealed.
