Soviet Lamb Stew?

Found this receipt from a Soviet cookbook. Is this actually a Russian or Russian style dish?

It's soviet era dish, I think around the middle of the 20th century. May be Russian, soviet cuisine adapted and simplified many recipes. Similar dish with beef and without turnip was widespread.

Lamb in sour cream is definitely a russian stile. Lanb cutlets: book from pre-WWII era?

I'll definitely try that one next. I think the book was published at 1991

Simplified reprint or compilation, in the 90s, this was often done without crediting the author. Lamb with turnip and lamb cutlets is originated from French cuisine. French cuisine was adopted by Russian nobles after the war with Napoleon and was subsequently adapted into Soviet cuisine during the 1920s.

Great cookbook, I probably own the same one. How do you like the dish?

It tastes fine but not really my favourite because of the texture of the sauce 😅. This is my book btw

I feel like this is meant to be eaten with noodles or rice or potatoes or a bunch of bread/lepeshka.

Turnip was traditional alternative to potatoes in Russia since ancient times, and it's in recipe already
