  • Life Histories of Etnos Theory in Russia and Beyond
    A Life Histories of Etnos Theory NDERSON in Russia and Beyond , A , Edited by David G. Anderson, Dmitry V. Arzyutov RZYUTOV and Sergei S. Alymov The idea of etnos came into being over a hundred years ago as a way of understanding the collecti ve identi ti es of people with a common language and shared traditi ons. In AND the twenti eth century, the concept came to be associated with Soviet state-building, and it fell sharply out of favour. Yet outside the academy, etnos-style arguments not A only persist, but are a vibrant part of regional anthropological traditi ons. LYMOV Life Histories of Etnos Theory in Russia and Beyond makes a powerful argument for etnos reconsidering the importance of in our understanding of ethnicity and nati onal ( identi ty across Eurasia. The collecti on brings to life a rich archive of previously EDS unpublished lett ers, fi eldnotes, and photographic collecti ons of the theory’s early proponents. Using contemporary fi eldwork and case studies, the volume shows .) Life Histories of Etnos Theory how the ideas of these ethnographers conti nue to impact and shape identi ti es in various regional theatres from Ukraine to the Russian North to the Manchurian Life Histories of steppes of what is now China. Through writi ng a life history of these collecti vist in Russia and Beyond concepts, the contributors to this volume unveil a world where the assumpti ons of liberal individualism do not hold.

The anthology for English-speaking students is intended for work during practical classes and designed according to the program of the discipline. Together with the new textbook, practice book and dictionary of terminology the anthology forms a basic complex of necessary study materials on the course «History of Ukraine and Ukrainian culture». The main idea of the authors is to present the history of Ukraine through the eyes of foreigners for explaining the specific historical relations between Ukraine’s inhabitants and other nations. It’s believed that such approach should make the study of subject relevant for the English- speaking students. While mastering the texts students should answer questions and as a result form a historical understanding of purposes with which the foreigners of different periods came to Ukraine.

  • The Story of 'Khazar Tribute'
    MIRATOR 15:2/2014 84 A ‘Khazar Prince’ at the Walls of Medieval Kiev The Collision of Princely Succession in the Russian Primary Chronicle Aleksandr Koptev In a previous article I examined the Nordic custom of establishing a client by offering him a sword, which was also customary among the princes of early medieval Rus´.1 The sword-offering appears in several episodes of the Primary Chronicle (‘The Tale of Bygone years’, ca. 1110) that depict political subordination in the pre-Christian epoch. A similar offering of a sword in Heimskringla and Nóregs konunga tal (Fagrskinna) demonstrates that there was a tradition of symbols and rituals common to early medieval northern and eastern Europe. The specific focus of my investigation was the narrative of the first encounter between the Khazar army and the Poljanian town Kiev, the dwellers of which offered the Khazars a sword in reply to their demand to pay them a tribute. This episode is included in the preface of the Primary Chronicle, which describes the very early history of Kiev before the arrival of the northern chieftain Oleg with his Rus´ warriors. After this time, and subsequent to the death of the three brothers in Kiev, the Poljanians were oppressed by the Drevljans and other neighbours of them. Then the Khazars came upon them as they lived in the hills and forests, and demanded tribute from them. After consulting among themselves, the Poljanians paid as tribute one sword per hearth, which the Khazars bore to their prince and their elders, and said to them, ‘Behold, we have found new tribute’.

    This page intentionally left blank Medieval Russia, 980–1584 This revised edition is a concise, yet comprehensive, narrative of the history of Russia from the reign of Vladimir I the Saint, through the reign of Ivan IV the Terrible. Supplementing the original edition with results of recently published scholarship as well as her own research, Janet Martin emphasizes the dynamics of Russia’s political evolution from the loose federation of principalities known as Kievan Rus through the era of Mongol domination to the development of the Muscovite state. Her analyses of the ruling dynasty and of economic influences on political development, and her explorations of society, foreign relations, religion, and culture provide a basis for understand- ing the transformations of the lands of Rus. Her lines of argument are clear and coherent; her conclusions and interpretations are provoca- tive.
