Siberia's location within the Early Neoproterozoic Rodinia Superterrane is contentious (since few if any reliable palaeomagnetic data exist between about 1.0 Ga and 540 Ma), but Siberia probably became independent during the breakup of Rodinia soon after 800 Ma and continued to be so until very near the end of the Palaeozoic, when it became an integral part of the Pangea Supercontinent. The boundaries of the cratonic core of the Siberian Terrane (including the Patom area) are briefly described, together with summaries of some of the geologically complex surrounding areas, and it is concluded that all of the Palaeozoic underlying the West Siberian

Despite their significant numbers, however, these Ukrainians remain largely unknown to the international community, receiving none of the attention that has been accorded, for example, to Russian minorities in the successor states to the former Soviet Union. According to the last Soviet census of 1989, approximately 4.3 million Ukrainians live in the Russian Federation; unofficial estimates of the size of this group run considerably higher.

SHISHATSKY, Cand. Sci. (Econ.) E-mail: [email protected] Institute of Economy and Industrial Engineering of the Siberian Department of the Russian Academy of Sci- ences, Kransnoyarsk, Russia Abstract. The article considers the main prerequisites and the directions of development of Northern and Arctic areas of the Krasnoyarsk Krai based on creation of reliable local transport and power infrastructure and formation of hi-tech and competitive territorial clusters. We examine both the current (new large min- ing and processing works in the Norilsk industrial region; development of Ust-Eniseysky group of oil and gas fields; gasification of the Krasnoyarsk agglomeration with the resources of bradenhead gas of Evenkia; ren- ovation of housing and public utilities of the Norilsk agglomeration; development of the Arctic and north- ern tourism and others), and earlier considered, but rejected, projects (construction of a large hydroelectric power station on the Nizhnyaya Tunguska river; development of the Porozhinsky manganese field; place- ment of the metallurgical enterprises using the Norilsk ores near Lower Angara region; construction of the meridional Yenisei railroad and others) and their impact on the development of the region. It is shown that in new conditions it is expedient to return to consideration of these projects with the use of modern tech- nologies and organizational approaches. It means, above all, formation of the local integrated regional pro- duction systems and networks providing interaction and cooperation of the fuel and raw, processing and innovative sectors.

  • Defining Territories and Empires: from Mongol Ulus to Russian Siberia1200-1800 Stephen Kotkin
    Defining Territories and Empires: from Mongol Ulus to Russian Siberia1200-1800 Stephen Kotkin (Princeton University) Copyright (c) 1996 by the Slavic Research Center All rights reserved. The Russian empire's eventual displacement of the thirteenth-century Mongol ulus in Eurasia seems self-evident. The overthrow of the foreign yoke, defeat of various khanates, and conquest of Siberia constitute core aspects of the narratives on the formation of Russia's identity and political institutions. To those who disavow the Mongol influence, the Byzantine tradition serves as a counterweight. But the geopolitical turnabout is not a matter of dispute. Where Chingis Khan and his many descendants once held sway, the Riurikids (succeeded by the Romanovs) moved in. *1 Rather than the shortlived but ramified Mongol hegemony, which was mostly limited to the middle and southern parts of Eurasia, longterm overviews of the lands that became known as Siberia, or of its various subregions, typically begin with a chapter on "pre-history," which extends from the paleolithic to the moment of Russian arrival in the late sixteenth, early seventeenth centuries. *2 The goal is usually to enable the reader to understand what "human material" the Russians found and what "progress" was then achieved. Inherent in the narratives -- however sympathetic they may or may not be to the native peoples -- are assumptions about the historical advance deriving from the Russian arrival and socio-economic transformation. In short, the narratives are involved in legitimating Russia's conquest without any notion of alternatives. Of course, history can also be used to show that what seems natural did not exist forever but came into being; to reveal that there were other modes of existence, which were either pushed aside or folded into what then came to seem irreversible.

  • Turukhansk Revolt’: 1908–1912
    Private letters of Siberian exiles about the ‘Turukhansk revolt’: 1908–1912 УДК 94(57) DOI 10.28995/2073-0101-2018-2-508-521 Dmitrii A. Baksht V. P. Astafiev Krasnoyarsk State Pedagogical University, Krasnoyarsk, Russian Federation Private letters of Siberian exiles about the ‘Turukhansk revolt’: 1908–1912 Abstract The article studies the Turukhansk region as a territory with distinct climatic conditions and, consequently, with distinctive state management institutions and does so in the context of modernization processes of late 19th – early 20th century. This part of the Yenisei gubernia having become a region of mass exile after the First Russian Revolution of 1905–1907, its integration into a general system of management slowed down. Private letters of exiles are an important historical source, they reveal many aspects of the daily life of the persons under supervising in the inter-revolutionary period. The ‘Turukhansk revolt’ in the winter of 1908/09 revealed not only the ineffectiveness of exile as a penal measure, but also severel major 1 / 5 Private letters of Siberian exiles about the ‘Turukhansk revolt’: 1908–1912 problems of the region: archaic and scanty management institutions, lack of transport communication with southern uezds of the gubernia, underpopulation, and also gubernia and metropolitan officials’ ignorance of local affairs. The agencies of the Police Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs expanded the practice of perlustration as involvement in the revolutionary movement grew. Siberian exiles had their correspondence routinely inspected, and yet in most cases they were inexperienced enough not to encrypt their messages. Surviving perlustration materials offer an ambivalent picture of the ‘Turukhansk revolt’: there were both approval and condemnation of the participants’ actions.

  • Reforms, Migrations, and Identity Politics in Evenkia
    BelONGinG TO THE LAND in TURA: ReFORms, MIGRAtiOns, AND IDentitY POlitiCS in EvenKIA OLGA POVOROZNYUK Candidate of Science in Ethnology, Senior Researcher Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology Russian Academy of Sciences Leninskiy Prospect 32a 119991 Moscow, Russia e-mail: [email protected] AbstRACT Tura is a mixed community where Evenks live alongside other indigenous groups and Russians. The establishment of Evenk autonomy, with the centre in Tura, in 1930 strengthened Evenk ethnic identity and unity through increased political and cultural representation, as well as through the integration of migrants from other regions. In the post-Soviet period, the community witnessed a population loss, a declining socio-economic situation, and the abolition of autonomy. In the long course of reforms and identity construction, the indigenous intelligentsia has manipulated the concept of belonging to the land either to stress or to erase cultural differences, and thus, to secure the access of the local elite to valuable resources. Currently, the most hotly debated boundaries are those dividing Evenks into local and migrant, authentic and unauthentic, urban and rural. The paper* illustrates the intricate interrelations between ethnic, indigenous, and territorial identities from an identity politics perspective. KEYWORDS: belonging to land • Evenks • reforms • identity politics • migration INTRODUCTION Tura1 is the administrative centre of Evenk Rayon (municipal district, referred to below as Evenkia) situated in Krasnoyarsk Krai, Western Siberia. Its population was formed in the course of state administrative and territorial reforms, migrations, and identity construction politics. With the establishment of Evenk autonomy in 1930, nomads were sedentarised in ‘ethnic’ villages (natsional’nyi poselok) and a labour force was drawn to Tura from district settlements (faktoriya) and more distant places.

  • The Ket Language
    Journal of Siberian Federal University. Humanities & Social Sciences 4 (2018 11) 654-662 ~ ~ ~ УДК 811.553 The Ket Language Alexandra A. Sitnikova* Siberian Federal University 79 Svobodny, Krasnoyarsk, 660041, Russia Received 06.03.2018, received in revised form 11.04.2018, accepted 14.04.2018 This article is of the applied research nature, which was carried out within the framework of the cultural project on preserving the culture of the Krasnoyarsk Krai indigenous peoples by creating the children’s literature in these peoples’ languages. The article presents the key characteristics of the Ket language and culture: the place of the Kets’ residence, the issue of ethnogenesis, the Kets’ art, shamanism, totem beliefs and other aspects. The main part of the article analyzes the available linguistic materials about the Ket language and describes the corpus of texts in the Ket language that are currently available to the public. Particular emphasis is given to the value of digitizing the linguistic data on the Ket language in the context of modern culture virtualization and need for interdisciplinary researches of the Ket language (linguistics and cultural studies). The article hypothesizes that the linguistic data on the Ket language, which were accumulated during the 20th – the beginning of the 21st centuries, can be used as the basis for further culturological research of the key concepts of the Ket culture (the “bear”, for example). They will allow to reconstruct the picture of the world in the culture of the indigenous peoples of the Siberian North. They will also result in a social design of the methods for the Kets’ authentic culture effective preservation and development by publishing the children’s literature in the Ket language for teaching the native Kets their language from pre-school age.

  • The Suslov Legacy: the Story of One Family's Struggle with Shamanism
    08 Anderson (jr/d) 9/9/02 2:39 PM Page 88 Sibirica, Vol. 2, No. 1, 2002: 88–112 The Suslov legacy: the story of one family’s struggle with Shamanism David G. Anderson and Nataliia A. Orekhova Abstract This contribution consists of excerpts from the diary of a missionary-priest, preceded by an introduction to him and his descendants. Mikhail Suslov was a central figure in the Enisei Missionary Society in the late nineteenth century. He had a deep sympathy for the peoples with whom he came in contact, attempting to understand the shamanic world-view as well as to spread Orthodoxy. His son, also Mikhail, served a six-year apprenticeship with Evenki reindeer-herders before following in his father’s footsteps. The third in the line, Innokentii Mikhailovich, became an early Bolshevik adminis- trator, adopting an approach, recalling that of his grandfather to an earlier stage of modernisation. The excerpts from the diary evocatively describe the harsh conditions of the natural setting, the way of life of the native peoples, and aspects of their recep- tion of Russian culture. Keywords: Siberia, ethnography, Orthodoxy, missionaries, travel-writing, reindeer- herding, shamanism, Soviet administration. This article serves as an introduction to a unique diary documenting the 1883 journey of missionary-priest Mikhail Suslov from Turukhansk to the chapel at Lake Essei. Lake Essei was the most remote outpost of Turukhansk diocese, located above the Arctic Circle roughly between the Enisei and Lena rivers (see Czaplicka 1994/5: 78–9). The purpose of this 3,000-mile journey was a sort of reconnaissance, where Father Suslov set out to evaluate the faith and loyalties of a widely dispersed set of aboriginal nations now known as the Evenkis, Dolgans, Nias (Nganasans) and Sakhas.
