People of the Deer Living Near Lake Baikal: Dynamics of Ethno-Cultural Identity of Modern Tofalars (Northern Asia, Eastern Siberia)
Journal of Siberian Federal University. Humanities & Social Sciences 8 (2018 11) 1274-1300 ~ ~ ~ УДК 39(=943.85)(57.22) People of the Deer Living near Lake Baikal: Dynamics of Ethno-Cultural Identity of Modern Tofalars (Northern Asia, Eastern Siberia) Victor P. Krivonogov* Siberian Federal University 79 Svobodny, Krasnoyarsk, 660041, Russia Received 22.04.2018, received in revised form 14.08.2018, accepted 16.08.2018 The article presents the results of an integral study of the ongoing ethnic and cultural identification of the Tofalars, an indigenous small-numbered Siberian people who belong to the Turkic group and are concentrated in the Irkutsk Oblast. The main methods of analysis were repeated interval field studies, comparative studies of the historical dynamics of Tofalars ethnic transformation, critical analysis of scientific sources. The author interprets the obtained results and gives certain forecasts of the ethnic, linguistic and cultural transformation of the Tofalars in the 21st century. As the main conclusion, it should be noted that the increase in the number of Tofalars has been replaced by stabilization. The Tofalars make up more than half the population in Tofalaria. However, as regards the language, it is on the brink of extinction, the process is irreciprocal, the linguistic indicator is rapidly approaching zero with every decade, as generations change. Due to the limited number of representatives of any other nation, the number of mixed marriages has ceased to grow, and even has begun to decline, but still this indicator remains high. As a result, the share of ethnically and anthropologically mixed population for the Tofalars is on the rise: practically all Tofalars of the younger age groups are mestizoes. -

Keeping the Eye of Siberia Luminous: Environmentalism on Lake Baikal in a Transitioning Society (1930-2013) Ingrid Korsgard May 2013 Russian Department Honors Advisor: Julia Chadaga Korsgard 2 Lake Baikal has been a source of life with deep spiritual meaning for the peoples of the region. However with the development of human communities around Baikal, the resources of the lake face danger of over-use. In the twentieth century when industrialization posed particular risks to the lake, citizens of the Baikal region rallied to protect their homeland. In so doing, these environmentalists had to work within the political system of the time. This research examines the ways in which environmentalists on Baikal carved out spaces for activism in the face of political turmoil and economic pressures. Tracing the evolution of environmentalism from the 1930s through the present day, this paper focuses on the transition from communism to capitalism from the 1980s to the 1990s. -
Russian-Chinese Marriages in Migration Mythology
Journal of Siberian Federal University. Humanities & Social Sciences 11 (2017 10) 1654-1663 ~ ~ ~ УДК 314.5 “Demographic Expansion” – Russian-Chinese Marriages in Migration Mythology Elena V. Diatlova and Victor I. Diatlov* Irkutsk State University 1 Karl Marx Str., Irkutsk, 664003, Russia Received 01.08.2017, received in revised form 05.11.2017, accepted 09.11.2017 The massive influx of Chinese migrants into post-Soviet Russia has created among other consequences a rich mythology and a system of stereotypes. An important component of this complex is the concept of “Chinese expansion” aimed at economic and cultural development of the Russian Far East and Siberia with their subsequent annexation. A key role in this concept is played by the idea of “demographic expansion”. The article is devoted to the analysis of its significant constituent – the thesis of “marriage expansion” as an instrument of nonviolent and invisible invasion through assimilation, dissolution of the Russian population in the Chinese demographic dominance. This mythologeme and rhetoric based on it have been regarded by some politicians as an effective tool of political manipulation and struggle for power. However, the marriage statistics of the Far Eastern and Siberian cities show a little number of mixed marriages. The corresponding calculations of scientists are now needed not so much to fight against this myth as to study complex problems of intercultural interactions in human relations. Having studied the idea of “marriage expansion”, we could identify some mechanisms of myth-making. The result shows, in particular, that the distinction between the mythological and scientific consciousness with mutual diffusion observed is not as rigid and specific as the interstate border. -

Peter Slovtsov, Ivan Kalashnikov, and the Saga of Russian Siberia
ENLIGHTENING THE LAND OF MIDNIGHT: PETER SLOVTSOV, IVAN KALASHNIKOV, AND THE SAGA OF RUSSIAN SIBERIA Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Mark A. Soderstrom Graduate Program in History The Ohio State University 2011 Dissertation Committee: Nicholas B. Breyfogle, Advisor Alice L. Conklin David L. Hoffmann Copyright by Mark A. Soderstrom 2011 ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the lives, works, and careers of Peter Andreevich Slovtsov (1767-1843) and Ivan Timofeevich Kalashnikov (1797-1863). Known today largely for their roles as Siberian “firsts”—Slovtsov as Siberia‟s first native-born historian, Kalashnikov as Siberia‟s first native-born novelist—their names often appear in discussions of the origins of Siberian regionalism, a movement of the later nineteenth century that decried Siberia‟s “colonial” treatment by the tsarist state and called for greater autonomy for the region. Drawing on a wide range of archival materials— including two decades of correspondence between the two men—this study shows that Slovtsov and Kalashnikov, far from being disgruntled critics of the tsarist state, were its proud agents. They identified with their service careers, I suggest, because they believed that autocratic rule was the best system for Russia and because serving the tsarist state provided what they saw as their greatest opportunity to participate in a progressive, world-historical saga of enlightenment. Their understanding of this saga and its Russian reverberations gave form and content to their senses of self. An exploration of Slovtsov and Kalashnikov‟s complex lives through the long paper trail that makes them accessible today offers revealing perspectives on the social, cultural, and intellectual history of Russia—in particular on topics of service, selfhood, bureaucratic culture, education, and the intersection of public and private life—as well as ii on the history of Siberia and its place in the empire. -

A Pollution Control Problem for the Aluminum Production in Eastern
A Pollution Control Problem for the Aluminum Production in Eastern Siberia: Differential Game Approach∗ Ekaterina V. Gromova, Anna V. Tur and Polina I. Barsuk Abstract In this paper, we apply a dynamic game-theoretic model and analyze the problem of pollution control in Eastern Siberia region of Russia. When carrying out the analysis we use real numerical values of parameters. It is shown that cooperation between the major pollutants can be beneficial not only for the nature but also for the respective companies. 1 Introduction Air pollution is a major environmental problem that affects everyone in the civilized world. Emissions from large industrial enterprises have a great adverse impact on the environment and the people’s quality of life. A detailed review of the scientific literature published in 1990–2015 on the topic of climate and environmental changes can be found in [4]. Air pollution is closely linked to climate change. Therefore, one of the most important issues in ecologic management concerns the reduction of the pollutant emission into the atmosphere. Game theory offers a powerful tool for modeling and analyzing situations where multiple players pursue different but not necessarily opposite goals. In particular, it is well suited for analyzing the ecological management problems in which players Ekaterina V.
