Buryat-Mongolia, Officially Named Today the Republic of Buryatia, Is a Large but Thinly Populated National Autonomous Subject Of Vsevolod Bashkuev Research Fellow, Institute of Mongolian, Buddhist and Tibetan studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Siberian Division Ulan-Ude, Russia E-mail: [email protected] Work in progress. Please do not quote. “Based Upon Deeply Rooted Hostile Views…” Anti-Soviet Sentiments and Resistance among the Special Settlers in Buryat-Mongolia, 1940s-1950s Introduction Buryat-Mongolia, nowadays officially known as the Republic of Buryatia, is a large but thinly populated national autonomous subject of the Russian Federation situated east of Lake Baikal at the crisscrossing of Eurasian historical pathways. In terms of political geography, this region is a part of Russia’s Siberian federal district, but unlike its predominantly Russian neighboring areas, Buryatia is national-territorial autonomy of Buryats, natives of Southeast Siberia. The contemporary Buryats are descendants of the Mongolian tribal alliance forming in the lands around Lake Baikal in the period from the fifteenth to seventeenth centuries. They speak dialects of the Mongolian language, practice Tibetan Buddhism and share the nomadic traditional culture of the Mongols. Since the beginning of their national autonomy in May 1923, the Buryats formed distinct ethnic culture, intelligentsia, political elite and institutions creating a particular socio-cultural environment in the republic. This socio-cultural particularity is important in the context of this paper. In the 1940s – 1950s, the territory of Buryat-Mongolia became a place of exile for thousands of deportees from the western parts of the Soviet Union. Large contingents of exiles diluted the ethnic structure of the republic creating cultural and religious diversity. However, adaptation to an unusual geographical, climatic and cultural environment was a hard process. Not all deportees endured it. In some situations socio-cultural differences between their homelands and Buryat-Mongolia added bitterness to the exile experience through misunderstanding amplified manifold by the injustice of deportations, prejudice and trauma-induced non-conformism. The resulting denial of everything associated with Soviet reality frequently led people toward confrontation with the authorities. More often than not, such non-conformists ended up in prisons and GULAG labor camps. Yet in many more other cases national, cultural and religious differences smoothed out in the process of intercultural communication, which was a natural and integral component of survival strategy. The exiles learnt from the locals, received direct assistance as well as indirect support and sympathy that were often no less important than food or clothing. In the course of such intercultural contacts, the deportees developed their own peculiar perception of Soviet 2 reality in which the rank-and-file locals were often disassociated from communist practices of intimidation, suppression, brainwashing and control. As the title of this paper suggests, I will concentrate attention on the anti-Soviet sentiments, non-conformism and resistance among various deportees who lived in Buryat- Mongolia in the 1940s and 1950s. This part may form probably the richest chapter in a yet-to-be- written history of deportations in the USSR in general and Buryatia in particular. Thick volumes of the so-called “observation files” kept in the NKVD and party archives provide a solid proof of this viewpoint. It is only natural that resentment of the state policy formed such a profound part of deportee experience. They perceived deportations as, at the very least, unlawful acts of the Soviet dictatorship and expressed their discontent in a variety of common and uncommon ways. Those included escape, formation of underground cells and conspiring against the state, different “hostile comments”, boycotting of Soviet holidays, loan campaigns and other “rituals”, composing of anti-Soviet poems and songs, and many other less common manifestations. However, I should note that my goal is not in solely registering and interpreting the cases of such activities based on the archival documents, but also in attempting to delineate the anti- Soviet sentiments themselves. I would like to distinguish between cases where dissent only targeted communist practices, rituals and realities and instances when the deportees expressed negative judgments about the climate or geographical environment of Buryatia and, especially, xenophobic, nationalistic or racist views of the local population, traditions and religious practices. In doing so I will reconstruct images of the Soviet reality in the eyes of the deportees and images of Buryat-Mongolia and its peoples, compare them and determine whether and to which extent they overlapped. This reconstruction will assist in understanding the place and role of intercultural communication in the survival strategies of the deportees. The source base of this study mostly comprises archival documents unearthed during my work in the special funds group of the Information Center of Ministry of the Interior of the Republic of Buryatia in 2001-2002 and National Archives of the Republic of Buryatia in 2002- 2010. Eyewitness accounts, interviews and questionnaires of surviving Lithuanian deportees currently residing in Buryatia are of special significance. They are specifically important when compared with the information from the MVD “observation files”. Both sources, excellent as they are, may display various personal biases. Cross-referencing these primary sources is an excellent opportunity to add objectivity to their critical analysis. Building up of the “special settler” population of Buryat-Mongolia, 1930s-1950s First large deportee contingents from the European part of the USSR arrived in Buryat- Mongolia during the collectivization period in the early 1930s. Victims of brutal dekulakization campaign, they received a status of “labor settlers”, lived in confined “labor settlements”, lacked 3 passports and freedom of movement and were essentially “second quality” people. In 1938, the total number of such deportees in the Buryat-Mongolian ASSR was 1.945 people. There were five “labor settlements” with the average population of 389 people each.1 During the war, the deportee population of the BMASSR sufficiently increased. On 28 August 1941, the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR sanctioned total deportation of the Soviet Germans. It was a “preventive” measure by which Stalin and his lieutenants sought to neutralize any possibility of collaboration of the Soviet Germans with the invading Wehrmacht. The Soviet Germans found themselves in every remote corner of the USSR: Central Asia, Far East, Siberia, and the Arctic North. In 1942, there was a second wave of repressions against the already repressed Germans. Thousands of them were mobilized into the so-called “labor army”. The bulk of German deportees in Buryat-Mongolia were “trudarmeitsy”, or “labor army members”. In this status, they toiled at many enterprises in the republic, but most ended up at the Dzhida tungsten plant than belonged to the NKVD system. So large was the number of forced laborers there that the NKVD organized a labor camp named Dzhidlag on site. As of 1 June 1944, the number of German labor army members in the camp was 1.652 people. In addition, there were 828 repatriated Germans. During the war, they either willingly or unwillingly turned up in foreign countries. Upon their return to the USSR, they were exiled as special settlers. 2 At this point, it is crucial to explain the term “special settlers”. Legally, it was a unique status existent only in Stalin’s USSR. In this or that form, it appeared since the mass kulak deportations of the early 1930s. However, finally it crystallized only on 8 January 1945 in the Decree of the Soviet of the People’s Commissars of the USSR # 35 entitled “On the legal status of special settlers”. According to this decree, special settlers retained all rights and privileges of citizens of the Soviet Union except freedom of movement. They had to live in special settlements, which they could not leave without a special permission of a local NKVD commandant’s office. Unauthorized leave qualified as escape and was a criminal offense. All adult able-bodied special settlers had to work at the specially assigned workplaces. Usually this meant unqualified hard labor in agriculture, construction, fishing, mining or timber industry. All changes in the marital status or family composition (death, birth of a child, escape) were to be immediately reported to an NKVD commandant. At the same time, special settlers, unlike 3 GULAG inmates and “exile settlers”, retained full voting rights. 1 V.N. Zemskov, Spetsposelentsy v SSSR, 1930-1960 (Moscow: Nauka, 2003), p. 33. 2 L.P.

Zemskov, Op. cit., p. 120-121. 4 The old legal status of German deportees and labor army members, labor settlers (former kulaks) and other categories of non-GULAG forced laborers quickly changed to “special settlers”. The same happened with the “punished peoples”: Kalmyks, Karachai, Balkars, Chechens, Ingush and Crimean Tatars totally deported to Central Asia and Siberia in 1943-1944. In reality, however, the legal condition of each particular special settler contingent substantially differed from one another. In certain situations, the difference meant much more than just a juridical nuance. Later on, I will return

Siberia and India: Historical Cultural Affinities India and Eurasia have had close social and cultural linkages, as Buddhism spread from India to Central Asia, Mongolia, Buryatia, Tuva and far wide. Buddhism provides a direct link between India and the peoples of Siberia (Buryatia, Chita, Irkutsk, Tuva, Altai, Urals etc.) who have distinctive historico-cultural affinities with the Indian Himalayas particularly due to common traditions and Buddhist culture. Revival of Buddhism in Siberia is of great importance to India in terms of restoring and reinvigorating the lost linkages. The Eurasianism of Russia, which is a Eurasian country due to its geographical situation, brings it closer to India in historical-cultural, political and economic terms.

  • World Directory of Minorities
    World Directory of Minorities Europe MRG Directory –> Russian Federation –> Buryats Print Page Close Window Buryats Profile According to the 2002 national census, there are 445,175 Buryats in the Russian Federation. Along with the Kalmyks, the Buryats speak a Mongolic language. The Buryats are concentrated in the Buryat Republic (pop. 981,238: Buryats 27.8 per cent, Russians 67.8 per cent, others 4.4 per cent) as well as Irkutsk Oblast, northern Mongolia and north-west China. The Buryat Lamaist church is part of a Buddhist sect which spread from Tibet to Mongolia in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Some Buryats have adopted Eastern Orthodoxy. Historical context Although Russians penetrated the Buryat homelands as early as the seventeenth century, contacts between the two peoples remained limited until large-scale Russian migration in the eighteenth century. A Buryat nationalist movement developed at the turn of the century in response to the growing Russian presence. In 1921, a Buryat-Mongol AO was established in the Far Eastern Republic; in May 1923 a Buryat-Mongol Autonomous Republic was created. In May 1923 they were merged to form the Buryat- Mongol ASSR. In 1937, the Buryat-Mongol ASSR was divided into three units. Territory west of Lake Baikal (12 per cent of the territory) went to Irkutsk Oblast, establishing a Buryat enclave (the Ust-Orda or Ust-Ordynsk AOk); the eastern steppe (12 per cent) was incorporated into Chita Oblast, where another enclave (the Aga Buryat or Aginsk AOk) was created. This division of the Buryat lands caused resentment. In 1958, in an attempt to eliminate any link with Mongolia, the word Mongol was dropped from the region's title leaving the Buryat ASSR.

Keywords Siberia; Buryats; Mongols Siberia’s vast realms have often fallen outside the view of Asian Studies specialists, due perhaps to their centuries-long domination by Russia – a European power – and their lack of elaborately settled civilizations like those elsewhere in the Asian landmass. Yet Siberia has played a crucial role in Asian history. For instance, the Xiongnu, Turkic, and Mongol tribes who frequently warred with China held extensive Southern Siberian territories, and Japanese interventionists targeted Eastern Siberia during the Russian Civil War (1918- 1921). Moreover, far from being a purely ethnic-Russian realm, Siberia possesses dozens of indigenous Asian peoples, some of whom are clearly linked to other, more familiar Asian nations: for instance, the Buryats of Southeastern Siberia’s Lake Baikal region share par- ticularly close historic, ethnic, linguistic, religious, and cultural ties with the Mongols. The Buryats, who fell under Russian rule over the seventeenth century, number over 400,000 and are the largest native Siberian group. Most dwell in the Buryat Republic, or Buryatia, which borders Mongolia to the south and whose capital is Ulan-Ude (called “Verkheneu- dinsk” during the Tsarist period); others inhabit Siberia’s neighboring Irkutsk Oblast and Zabaikal’skii Krai (formerly Chita Oblast), and tens of thousands more live in Mongolia and China.

Smolin 24a, UlanUde, 670000 Russia Received April 23, 2013 Abstract—The structure of the Buryat gene pool has been studied based on the composition and frequency of Ychromosome haplogroups in eight geographically distant populations. Eleven haplogroups have been found in the Buryat gene pool, two of which are the most frequent (N1c1 and C3d). The greatest difference in haplogroup frequencies was fixed between western and eastern Buryat samples. The evaluation of genetic diversity based on haplogroup frequencies revealed that it has low values in most of the samples. The evalua tion of the genetic differentiation of the examined samples using an analysis of molecular variance (AMOVA) shows that the Buryat gene pool is highly differentiated by haplotype frequencies. Phylogenetic analysis within haplogroups N1c1 and C3d revealed a strong founder effect, i.e., reduced diversity and starlike phy logeny of the median network of haplotypes that form specific subclusters.

  • Specific Character of Modern Interethnic Relations in Krasnoyarsk Territory As Per Associative Experiment
    Journal of Siberian Federal University. Humanities & Social Sciences 11 (2011 4) 1553-1576 ~ ~ ~ УДК 316.622 Specific Character of Modern Interethnic Relations in Krasnoyarsk Territory as Per Associative Experiment Galina V. Kivkutsan* Siberian Federal University 79 Svobodny, Krasnoyarsk, 660041 Russia 1 Received 15.03.2011, received in revised form 17.06.2011, accepted 10.10.2011 Ethnocultural space of Krasnoyarsk territory is an urgent subject for research nowadays. According to the criteria of conflict, ethnology and sociology theory Krasnoyarsk territory has been both a centre of strained interethnic relations and a specific interethnic conglomerate. Thus, the study of ethnicity phenomenon in Krasnoyarsk territory is one of the most important tasks of applied cultural research. The research objectives are to detect an interethnic relations dominant type on the basis of specificity of ethnocultural space of Krasnoyarsk territory (while applying associative experiment method) and to model possible ways of conflict settlement. The research has resulted in the relevant conclusion that interethnic relations in the territory have a set of features peculiar to this territory. That has led to a hypothesis about a possible interethnic conflicts settlement in case of their threat. The research uniqueness is stated through both a particular practical orientation of the research and experimental application of new forms of the developed methods into the sphere of cultural research. A considerable attention has been paid to a complex approach to a definite problem. Associative experiment is considered to be the most effective method of detection and research of such a cultural phenomenon as ethnic stereotype. It is proved by the specificity of the method initially applied in psychology.
