Abstract The article provides an overview of descriptions of total solar eclipses in different literature forms, rites and toponyms of Slavs. It is shown that the solar eclipse had a prominent role in the worldview of the tribes. Explanations of some terms of Slavic outlook are given with suggestions for the correct terminology. A program for further investigation in Slavic and other people’s culture is proposed. Keywords: Total solar eclipse; Archeoastronomy; Mythology; Slavs; Character 'Akhet' (Figure 2) should be translated as 'eclipse' instead of Akhet; Myth of creation of the world; Myth of end of the world; 'horizon'. Then the next well-known text obtains a simple explanation. Dragon slayer; Tales During the advance of the eclipse (former translation: after sunset at the horizon) Ra joins the fight against the forces of darkness, Introduction crocodiles, snakes and so on. -
Mythical Spirits of the Volga-Ural Forests
Acta Orientalia Academiae Scientiarum Hung. Volume 71 (1), 45 – 69 (2018) DOI: 10.1556/062.2018.71.1.4 ARÇURA/ŞÜRÄLE: MYTHICAL SPIRITS OF THE VOLGA-URAL FORESTS RUSTEM SULTEEV 49B Cowper Gardens, Southgate, London N14 4NS, UK e-mail: [email protected] Folk beliefs, which have their source in history, culture and geography, are among the most signifi- cant factors determining the identity and characteristic features of a people. In Tatar and Chuvash folk literature myths about mythological beings are often stories written in prose, describing su- pernatural creatures and spirits. These stories describe “encounters” between humans on the one hand and various mythological creatures, on the other. Among these Arçura/Şüräle is a Forest Spirit which has a very significant role in folk narratives of not only the Tatars and the Chuvash, but widely in the folk culture of other Volga-Ural peoples. These mythological beliefs help people of the Volga- Ural region perceive themselves as a part of the universe. In this paper, the etymology of the word Arçura/Şüräle is investigated; then its characteristics and its comparison with some other neighbour- ing Volga-Ural Finno-Ugrian and shamanic Turkic-Mongol spirits are examined. Key words: mythology, Forest Spirit, Şüräle, Arçura, Tatar folk narratives, Chuvash folk narratives. Introduction Folk beliefs, which have their source in history, culture, and geography, are among the most significant factors determining the identity and characteristics of a people. These beliefs which carry traces of paganism, above all show peoples’ ways of think- ing, traditional ties with the environment and nature in early ages, whilst each ethnic group has its own type of myths and beliefs related to mythical creatures. -
The Slavic Vampire Myth in Russian Literature
From Upyr’ to Vampir: The Slavic Vampire Myth in Russian Literature Dorian Townsend Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy School of Languages and Linguistics Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences The University of New South Wales May 2011 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Townsend First name: Dorian Other name/s: Aleksandra PhD, Russian Studies Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: School: Languages and Linguistics Faculty: Arts and Social Sciences Title: From Upyr’ to Vampir: The Slavic Vampire Myth in Russian Literature Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) The Slavic vampire myth traces back to pre-Orthodox folk belief, serving both as an explanation of death and as the physical embodiment of the tragedies exacted on the community. The symbol’s broad ability to personify tragic events created a versatile system of imagery that transcended its folkloric derivations into the realm of Russian literature, becoming a constant literary device from eighteenth century to post-Soviet fiction. The vampire’s literary usage arose during and after the reign of Catherine the Great and continued into each politically turbulent time that followed. The authors examined in this thesis, Afanasiev, Gogol, Bulgakov, and Lukyanenko, each depicted the issues and internal turmoil experienced in Russia during their respective times. By employing the common mythos of the vampire, the issues suggested within the literature are presented indirectly to the readers giving literary life to pressing societal dilemmas. The purpose of this thesis is to ascertain the vampire’s function within Russian literary societal criticism by first identifying the shifts in imagery in the selected Russian vampiric works, then examining how the shifts relate to the societal changes of the different time periods. -

The Emergence of Literary Ethnography in the Russian Empire: from the Far East to the Pale of Settlement, 1845-1914 by Nadezda B
THE EMERGENCE OF LITERARY ETHNOGRAPHY IN THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE: FROM THE FAR EAST TO THE PALE OF SETTLEMENT, 1845-1914 BY NADEZDA BERKOVICH DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Slavic Languages and Literature in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2016 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Harriet Murav, Chair and Director of Research Associate Professor Richard Tempest Associate Professor Eugene Avrutin Professor Michael Finke ii Abstract This dissertation examines the intersection of ethnography and literature in the works of two Russian and two Russian Jewish writers and ethnographers. Fyodor Dostoevsky, Vladimir Korolenko, Vladimir Bogoraz, and Semyon An-sky wrote fiction in the genre of literary ethnography. This genre encompasses discursive practices and narrative strategies in the analysis of the different peoples of the Russian Empire. To some extent, and in some cases, these authors’ ethnographic works promoted the growth of Russian and Jewish national awareness between 1845 and 1914. This dissertation proposes a new interpretive model, literary ethnography, for the study of the textualization of ethnic realities and values in the Russian Empire in the late nineteenth-century. While the writers in question were aware of the ethnographic imperial discourses then in existence, I argue that their works were at times in tune with and reflected the colonial ambitions of the empire, and at other times, contested them. I demonstrate that the employment of an ethnographic discourse made possible the incorporation of different voices and diverse cultural experiences. My multicultural approach to the study of the Russian people, the indigenous peoples of the Russian Far East, and the Jews of Tsarist Russia documents and conceptualizes the diversity and multi-voicedness of the Russian Empire during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. -
The Biological Ethos in Boris Pil'niak's Shorter Prose Helen Graves Halva
Primitivist or Moralist?: The Biological Ethos in Boris Pil’niak’s Shorter Prose Helen Graves Halva A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures (Russian). Chapel Hill 2010 Approved by: Madeline G. Levine Radislav Lapushin Irene Masing-Delic Christopher Putney Ivana Vuletic © 2010 Helen Graves Crater Halva ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Helen Graves Halva: Primitivist or Moralist?: The Biological Ethos in Boris Pil’niak’s Shorter Prose (Under the direction of Madeline G. Levine) The so-called “woman question” raised by the “nihilists” of the 1860s and debated by the realist writers, notably Tolstoi, evolved into a revaluation of traditional sexual morality in the modernist movements of the twentieth century. In the wake of the dramatic social changes wrought by the 1905 and 1917 revolutions, there also arose a “neo-nihilist” reexamination of women’s emancipation issues, represented by political and cultural public figures such as Aleksandra Kollontai. This dissertation examines approximately twenty stories and novellas written between 1914 and 1936 by Russian/Soviet writer Boris Andreevich Vogau (pseudonym Pil’niak), and several units from his first novel, in order to present an interpretation of Pil’niak’s views on and position in that debate, based on close readings of the texts mentioned. This dissertation argues that Pil’niak, considered by many commentators a champion of primitive man and instinctive behavior, in fact defines a biological morality based on pre-marital virginity, permanent sexual fidelity to a single mate, personal integrity and self-awareness, and a reproductive mandate. -
Mleko a Miód „אלתירא” Kanaán Ashersleben (Ah-Shares-Lay-Ben) Ashersleben Is the Most Liberal and Metropolitan of the Five Nations of the Homeland
mleKo a miód „אלתירא” Kanaán Ashersleben (ah-shares-lay-ben) Ashersleben is the most liberal and metropolitan of the five nations of the Homeland. They share the largest major port on the continent with Domovina, and clash frequently with their neighbor. Domovina (dah-mah-vee-nuh) Domovina as a military power has dominated the continent for over a century. They have a codified martial culture that is the envy of many a nation, and citizens in the military enjoy privileges greater than the average man. Vlast (vl-uh-st) A maritime nation between the titans of Ashersleben and Domovina. While their land infantry is dwarfed by other nations, they have an enviable naval force that draws from their large population of fishermen, whalers, and privateers. Płowce (pwohv-tsuh) A miserable nation of farmers to the west. They have been saved from conquest by their muddy winter season, which stalls the progress of soldiers. D Vlast o m n o e v eb i sl n r a e h s A P ł o w ce At the beginning of each game, players must choose a home coun- try for themselves (these may overlap with the other players in the party) and a country in which the whole party will start. This mostly determines the way in which human NPCs receive the players. What Do I Need To Know ? Mleko a Miód is a roleplaying game for 2-4 players based on Apocalypse World and, more specifically Dun- geon World which takes place in the fictional continent of Kanaán. Themes, stories, and look are inspired by those of the Central European jewish population of the late 19th and early 20th century. -

Radical Reading / Revolutionary Seeing: An Introduction to Checklist of Russian, Ukrainian & Belarusian Avant-Garde & Modernist Books, Serials & Works on Paper at The New York Public Library & Columbia University Libraries Steven Mansbach, University of Maryland The manifold collections of Russian, Ukrainian & Belarusian avant-garde publications in the New York Public and Columbia University Libraries are as impressive in their breadth as they are significant in their history.1 They have become more than a singular research resource for Slavicists, and more than a telling record of the striking inventiveness that occurred in Eastern Europe early in the last century. Indeed, these rich holdings are essential for today’s scholars and for an ever-growing public keenly interested in the art, culture, and political history of Eastern and East-Central Europe during a period of dramatic and revolutionary change.2 Nonetheless, it is through the visual and literary history that the two collections document that one might best appreciate these holdings’ broadest value. -
