Sushkova N. P. Ogarev Mordovia State University, Russian Federation ORCID 0000-0003-4388-0610 [email protected] Fecha de Recepción: 10 de junio de 2020 – Fecha Revisión: 19 de junio de 2020 Fecha de Aceptación: 29 de septiembre 2020 – Fecha de Publicación: 01 de octubre de 2020 Abstract The relevance of the study is determined by the role of traditional jurisprudence as an ancient system of ethnic normative regulation. This regulation is existing in part even today in the modern world-view, the legal consciousness of the peoples of Russia. The historico-legal heritage of the peoples of the Russian Federation is a unique source of traditional jurisprudence. It accumulates various norms of their traditional legal culture, legal world-view. In this regard, the study of traditional legal culture is aimed at understanding the ancient legal traditions of specific ethnoses, their legal consciousness, possibilities of using the accumulated experience in law-creative process and resolving disputable situations. This article discloses the historico-legal foundations of the customary law of the Mordovian people. The leading method for studying the problem is the methods of field ethnography, case studies, which enable scholars to consider comprehensively the customary legal norms in various ways of their application. The sources of the study were the data from interviews of old residents of Mordovian villages, as well as documentary publications of the researchers. The article analyzes the features of the communal organization, the formation and development of customary law in the spheres

  • Governance on Russia's Early-Modern Frontier
    ABSOLUTISM AND EMPIRE: GOVERNANCE ON RUSSIA’S EARLY-MODERN FRONTIER DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Matthew Paul Romaniello, B. A., M. A. The Ohio State University 2003 Examination Committee: Approved by Dr. Eve Levin, Advisor Dr. Geoffrey Parker Advisor Dr. David Hoffmann Department of History Dr. Nicholas Breyfogle ABSTRACT The conquest of the Khanate of Kazan’ was a pivotal event in the development of Muscovy. Moscow gained possession over a previously independent political entity with a multiethnic and multiconfessional populace. The Muscovite political system adapted to the unique circumstances of its expanding frontier and prepared for the continuing expansion to its east through Siberia and to the south down to the Caspian port city of Astrakhan. Muscovy’s government attempted to incorporate quickly its new land and peoples within the preexisting structures of the state. Though Muscovy had been multiethnic from its origins, the Middle Volga Region introduced a sizeable Muslim population for the first time, an event of great import following the Muslim conquest of Constantinople in the previous century. Kazan’s social composition paralleled Moscow’s; the city and its environs contained elites, peasants, and slaves. While the Muslim elite quickly converted to Russian Orthodoxy to preserve their social status, much of the local population did not, leaving Moscow’s frontier populated with animists and Muslims, who had stronger cultural connections to their nomadic neighbors than their Orthodox rulers. The state had two major goals for the Middle Volga Region.

Abstract Background: It was demonstrated previously that the three-locus RFLP haplotype, TaqI B-TaqI D-TaqI A (B-D-A), at the DRD2 locus constitutes a powerful genetic marker and probably reflects the most ancient dispersal of anatomically modern humans. Results: We investigated TaqI B, BclI, MboI, TaqI D, and TaqI A RFLPs in 17 contemporary populations of the East European Plain and Siberia.

  • A Study of the Language Laws in Russia's Finno-Ugric Republics
    OFFICIAL STAtus AS A Tool OF LANGUAGE RevivAL? A StuDY OF THE LANGUAGE LAWS in RussiA’S Finno-UGriC REPUBliCS KONSTAntin ZAMYAtin Researcher, PhD Candidate Department of Finnish, Finno-Ugrian and Scandinavian Studies University of Helsinki P.O. Box 24, FIN-00014, Finland e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT This study explores the legal and institutional position of Finno-Ugric languages according to the language laws of the national republics in post-Soviet Russia. The aim is to understand whether the republican authorities intended to use the official designation of state language as a policy device with which to ensure the revival of titular languages. The approach of the study is to test revivalist theories that estab- lish a link between official status and language revival by comparing the number of institutionalised elements of official status in the republics. For the purpose of comparison, the study focuses on education and work environment among the domains within the public sphere of language use. The results demonstrate that the framing of official status in these sectors provided only some additional oppor- tunities for the expansion of language use, while the extent of their institutionali- sation directly correlated with the level of political representation of ethnic elites. KEYWORDS: official language · language revival · language laws · Finno-Ugric peoples · Russia INTRODUCTION Change in language behaviour is an outcome of a complicated variety of sociolinguistic, political and legal processes, and the study of language policy alone cannot explain all tendencies in language practices. Yet, without doubt, the impact of state language policy is among the most important causes for change in a sociolinguistic situation, although this change will not always be one that policy-makers envisage as their goal.

Sirkka Saarinen E-learning course: Erzya THE MORDVINS Moksha Mordvin girls Flag of the Mordvin Republic Erzya Mordvin women Mordvins = Erzyas and Mokshas The Mordvins are divided into two ethnic groups, Erzyas and Mokshas. The Mordvins reside in their own republic which is part of the Russian Federation (25,266 km2), in the territory between the Volga tributaries, the Oka and the Sura. Only 27% of the Mordvins dwell in the titular republic; the majority live in scattered enclaves over a very extensive area to the north and south of the borders of the republic as well as widely in the zone reaching to the Ural Mountains. According to the last Soviet census (1989) there were 1,154,000 Mordvins, although of these only 67% spoke their mother tongue Erzya or Moksha. The second Russian census (2010) estimated the number of Mordvins to have decreased by over 30 %, that is, to 806,000. About two-thirds of the Mordvins speak Erzya and one-third Moksha, which to some extent are mutually understandable. Literary languages for both groups were developed in the 1920s. The Mordvin languages belong to the Volgaic branch of the Finno-Ugric languages. The Russians began converting the Mordvins to the Orthodox faith as early as the 15th century.

Sushkova 0 National Research Ogarev Mordovia State University 68 Bolshevistskaya srt., 430005, Saransk, Russian Federation Abstract. The rationale of the study is the uniqueness of the system of the multi-national and multi-confessional Russian state. Peoples' inclusion into a single state legal framework determined the need to develop a relevant ethnic legal policy. In this regard, this paper is aimed at articulating the legal fundamentals of the Russian politics in XVI–XVIII centuries towards aboriginal peoples on the exam- ple of the Mordvins. The paper discusses the key aspects of the Mordvins’ life under the Russian law. It looks into 16th–18th centuries regulations regarding non-Russians that determined the specifics of their adaptation within Russia. The study is mainly based on the formal-legal, historical-legal method- ology with emphasis on sociocultural and legal-anthropological approaches, which made it possible to historically and legally assess laws and regulations that reflect specifics of Mordvins’ position in the 16th–18th centuries. The paper has a practical value for improving the legislation for inter-ethnic rela- tions and strengthening the foundations of federalism as the key characteristic of the Russian state. Key words: Mordvins, aboriginal peoples, non-Russians, ethnic legal policy, customary law Conflicts of interest.

  • Confessional Factor of Ethnic Community Reproduction in the South of Russia
    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ENVIRONMENTAL & SCIENCE EDUCATION 2016, VOL. 11, NO. 16, 9560-9572 OPEN ACCESS Confessional factor of ethnic community reproduction in the South of Russia Anatoly Vladimirovich Lubskya, Andrew Vladimirovich Bedrika, Darya Nikolaevna Stukalovaa aSouthern Federal University,RUSSIA ABSTRACT The objective of the study is to investigate the effects produced by confessional belonging on the conditions of the ethnic identities of the diasporas and on the character of the inter-ethnic relations in regional communities. Religious identity can reveal itself both as a factor of inter-ethnic integration and as an additional indicator of ethnic and cultural identity that increases the distance between different groups of the population. The investigation has been developed based on the analysis of statistical and sociological data that illustrate the existence of confessionally heterogeneous ethnic diasporas in regional community. It has been established that in the Rostov region, the hub region of the South of Russia, confessional identity presents an additional factor of maintaining the ethnic identities within the ethnic and cultural communities as follows: Jews, Armenians, Greeks, Poles, Georgians, Assyrians and Koreans. The majority of these groups possess confessional institutions of their own, though the degree of consolidation with them is different. Thus, while for Jewish and Armenian diasporas of the Don the institutions of national religion are the key forms of maintaining their identities, for Poles the importance

Their vision of its citizenrywas circumscribedby the "new Soviet man," whose precise ethnic identy was presumed unimportant.Though this concept proved stillborn,the national identitiesof the people constitutingthe formerempire was seriously damaged.

  • Comparative Ethnic Regional Autonomy in China and Russia
    WRESTLING WITH THE CENTRAL STATE: COMPARATIVE ETHNIC REGIONAL AUTONOMY IN CHINA AND RUSSIA by Sansar Tsakhirmaa (Sier San) A dissertation submitted to the Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland June, 2018 © Sansar Tsakhirmaa (Sier San) 2018 All Rights Reserved Abstract This dissertation compares ethnically-based identity politics in two constitutionally- defined multi-ethnic states, China and Russia, by focusing upon one type of prescriptive institution, territorially-based formal autonomy designated at the sub-national levels for ethnic minorities. Intriguingly, some of these ethno-regions have been more capable of actually exercising the formally promulgated autonomy than others. What can explain the variations across different ethno-regions in terms of implemented autonomy outcome? This dissertation develops an analytical framework that consists of a response variable, an ethno-region’s implemented autonomy outcome, an explanatory variable, an ethno- region’s inter-ethnic boundary-makings, an intervening variable, titular elites’ bargaining capacity, and two condition variables, formal arrangements of center-periphery relations and party-state relations. An ethno-region’s implemented autonomy outcome is assessed in terms of compliance with the corresponding autonomy-establishing legal document(s) on three dimensions, political participation, economic development, and cultural promotion among the ethno-region’s titular ethnic population.
