The population density in medium rivers ranges from 0.36 to 0.48 colonies per km (average 0.4). In small rivers, population density ranges from 0.2 to 0.94 colonies per km (average 0.46).

The results of the study of fauna of click beetles in the Republic of Mordovia are presented. By now, 58 species of click beetles have been recorded here. Adrastus pallens is a new record for the republic. As per the literature information, 6 species of click beetles (Agriotes pilosellus, Melanotus crassicollis, Melanotus fusciceps, Liotrichus affinis, Pseudanostirus globicollis, Stenagostus rufus) are known and these indications require confirmation. Two species (Agriotes acuminatus, Limoniscus suturalis) are excluded from the fauna. Taking into account the literary information in the fauna of Mordovia, 64 species of Elateridae are known. Agrypnus murinus, Agriotes lineatus, Agriotes obscurus, Agriotes sputator, Dalopius marginatus, Ampedus balteatus, Ampedus pomorum, Hemicrepidius niger, Athous subfuscus, Prosternon tessellatum, Selatosomus aeneus are among the mass species. A list of the species is presented, which with a high degree of probability can still be found in the republic.

  • Warfare, State and Society on the Black Sea Steppe, 1500-1700
    Warfare, State and Society on the Black Sea Steppe, 1500–1700 In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries Muscovy waged a costly struggle against the Crimean Khanate, the Ottoman Empire, and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth for control of the fertile steppe above the Black Sea. This was a region of great strategic and economic importance – arguably the pivot of Eurasia at the time. Yet, this crucial period in Russia’s history has, up until now, been neglected by historians. Brian L. Davies’s study provides an essential insight into the emergence of Russia as a great power. The long campaign took a great toll upon Russia’s population, economy, and institutions, and repeatedly frustrated or redefi ned Russian military and diplo- matic projects in the West. The struggle was every bit as important as Russia’s wars in northern and central Europe for driving the Russian state-building process, forcing military reform and shaping Russia’s visions of Empire. Warfare, State and Society on the Black Sea Steppe, 1500–1700 examines the course of this struggle and explains how Russia’s ultimate prevalence resulted from new strategies of military colonization in addition to improvements in army command-and-control, logistics, and tactics.

  • The Types of the Mordvin Settlement Names
    Sándor Maticsák (Debrecen, Hungary) The Types of the Mordvin Settlement Names uring the millenia of its history the Volga-Oka river basin has served as a home for several peoples and ethnic groups. In the early D ages of the history of the region Iranian and Baltic influences can be revealed apart from the influences of the Volga–Oka tribes of an unknown ethnic origin. The traces of this contact can be found, besides the loan- words, in the most ancient stratum of hydronyms. Among the hydronyms of Mordovia we can separate a stratum that shows marked similarities with certain types of hydronyms of the European territory of Russia. On one hand, these names are not transparent etymologically, cannot be derived from any of today’s known languages, on the other hand, morphological homologies connect them: the suffixes that can be separated in these names have a CV form, and they end in - a (the only exception is - im ). The large zone of names that seem to be morphologically similar extend from North Russia through Yaroslav, Kostroma, Nizhnij Novgorod and Ryazan as far as to the southern border of Mordovia. Among the hydronyms of Mordovia, on the basis of morphological criteria, the following probably belong to this ancient stratum: Amorda; Juzga, Lu ńga, Ožga, Väžga; A ťma, Čaše ľma, Lo śma, Luhma, Ľas ťma, Pirma; A ľza; Šadim, Kuldim, Ur ľeďim. A serious debate unfolded in the 1950s and 1960s about the origin of this seemingly ancient hydronymic stratum, and the different opinions crystallised principally in M ATVEEV ’s and S EREBRENNIKOV ’s theories.

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.

  • About the Difficulty of Determining the Lexical Classes of the Moksha Language
    FOURNET, Arnaud. About the difficulty of determining the lexical classes of the Moksha language. ReVEL , v. 9, n. 17, 2011. [www.revel.inf.br/eng]. ABOUT THE DIFFICULTY OF DETERMINING THE LEXICAL CLASSES OF THE MOKSHA LANGUAGE Arnaud Fournet 1 [email protected] ABSTRACT : The paper deals with the Moksha language belonging to the Uralic family. It begins with a presentation of Moksha and its oldest attestations. It then examines approaches of the parts of speech and lexical classes in that language as developed by a number of authors, mainly Ahlquist (1861) and Aliamkin (2000). The paper illustrates the difficulties and issues faced when applying the framework inherited from Greek and Latin traditions to languages displaying other typological features than the Indo-European mold. KEYWORDS : Moksha; Uralic; Part of speech, Lexicography; Typology. 1. INTRODUCTION The paper deals with the Moksha language belonging to the Uralic family. After a presentation of present-day Moksha and of its historical attestations the paper examines approaches of the parts of speech and lexical classes in this language as developed by a number of authors, especially Ahlquist (1861) and Aliamkin (2000), who provide the most detailed theories. 2. PRESENTATION OF THE MOKSHA LANGUAGE Moksha is a Uralic language, spoken in the Russian Federation. Together with Erzya it constitutes the two main branches of Mordvin. The word <moksha> is a direct transliteration of Cyrillic мокша . It is used to describe this language in contemporary texts. But other words have been used in the past to designate Mordvins. Many Mokshan speakers live in Mordovia, a province located 500 km to the south-east of Moscow.
