  • The Struggle for Symbolic Space: the Choice of the Patron-Spirit of the City of Kazan
    International Journal of Criminology and Sociology, 2020, 9, 000-000 1 The Struggle for Symbolic Space: The Choice of the Patron-Spirit of the City of Kazan Sergey Sergeev1,*, Zulfia Sergeeva2 and Elmira Avzalova1 1Kazan Federal University, Department of Political Sciences, Russia 2Kazan National Research Technological University, Department for Public Administration and Sociology, Russia Abstract: In the article, the concept of “genius of a place” is defined as a historical or mythological character of particular importance for the locality, possible applicants for the role of “genius of a place” in Kazan are considered, the political and social mechanisms that determine the nomination of one or another applicant are identified. The authors suggest that the “genius of the place” of Kazan is not a certain static, formed, and integral image. The population of Kazan is heterogeneous, and the various groups of its constituents — the administrative and managerial elite and the intelligentsia, conservatives and liberals, Russians and Tatars — have their idea of what the “genius of the place” of Kazan should look like. Researchers come to the conclusion that the “genius of the place” is an embodied group sociocultural ideal, and the struggle and conflicts taking place in a symbolic form partly prevent the transformation of existing intergroup contradictions into real ethnosocial and ethnopolitical conflicts. Keywords: Genius loci, “genius of the place”, symbolic space, local identity. INTRODUCTION we can talk about at least two approaches of it understanding. Firstly, it is a real historical person or According to Roman mythology, not only every mythological character, which is an integral and person, but also every place, building, institution had its important part of the cultural identity of a given place genius or patron spirit.

  • Kazan Kremlin in Russia
    Kazan Kremlin in Russia Kazan Kremlin – a complex of several buildings in Kazan, Russia Kazan Kremlin is a complex of several buildings in Kazan, Russia, noted for their architectural and historical value. A kremlin is a citadel and the seat of government of the city, and consists of churches and towers, and a palace. The Kazan Kremlin was the citadel of Tatarstan, which is a federal subject of the Russian Federation. Constructed under the orders of Ivan the Terrible, and built among the remains of the Kazan Khanate. The white Kremlin features the Annunciation Cathedral, the only sixteenth-century Russian church to have 6 piers and 5 apses. Built from 1554 to 1562, the cathedral is made from pale sandstone. Its bell tower was modeled after Moscow's Ivan the Great Belltower but the Kazan bell tower was torn down by the Soviets in 1930. Another important building in the Kazan Kremlin is the Söyembikä Tower, also known as the Khan's Mosque. Once the tallest structure in the kremlin and a leaning tower, with a lean of 194 centimeters (76 inches), it was straightened in the 1930s and again in the 1990s. This tower was possibly built in the 17th or 18th century, though its origins are not well understood. A legend has it that the tower was named for a queen named Söyembikä who killed herself jumping from the top of the tower, but the legend is not rooted in facts. Spasskaya Tower on the southern end of the Kremlin serves as the main entrance to the Kremlin.

  • 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.

  • Classification of Non-Poured Ceramics from Kazan Kremlin
    European Research Studies Journal Volume XX, Special Issue, 2017 pp. 394-401 Classification of Non-Poured Ceramics from Kazan Kremlin Ayrat Sitdikov1, Ainaz I. Khaziev2 Abstract: The article is devoted to the study of the most massive material during archaeological excavations - non-pouring ceramics obtained after the excavations in the Kazan Kremlin in 1994-1996. The paper gives a brief analysis of the main historical and cultural groups of non-poured ceramics, which were identified by T.A. Khlebnikova. The main approaches on the study the non-pouring ceramics of this monument are presented. The researcher singled out 6 historical and cultural groups of the Kazan Kremlin pottery. With the typology and the classification of ceramic material, it considered the technique of production, the composition of mixture, color, the quality of firing and surface treatment. All the selected groups of ceramics are characteristic of individual layers for the cultural strata of the Kazan Kremlin. T.A. Khlebnikova conducted the systematic and statistical analysis of the entire material. In the archaeological research of the Kazan Kremlin, non-poured ceramics were not subjected to more detailed study and analysis. The attempts to classify non-pourable ceramics were made in the works by N.F. Kalinin, as well as in the generalizing works by A.Kh. Khalikov and L.S. Shavokhin. The works by T.A. Khlebnikova on the processing of the Kazan Kremlin ceramics in 1994- 1996 are the first ones when this most massive archaeological source has undergone quite complete processing according to the requirements of the time, and to this day the typology created by it is used by researchers.
