I also want to say thank you to many colleagues of mine from the Department of Social An- thropology, University of Bergen but first and foremost to my supervisor professor Leif Ole Manger and previous supervisor professor Andrew Lattas. I am very grateful to professor John Chr. Knudsen and his indispensable seminars on text production which were typically filled with discussions, reflec- tions and new ideas. It was impossible to produce even a chapter without useful debates with my colleagues Hege Toje, Samson Abebe, Tord Austdal and many others. I cannot imagine my fieldwork in Athens without the help and support of John Nikolopoulos, director of the Greek Research Foun- dation, expert on Russian-Greek relationships, and my old friend. Thank you very much, Giannis! My fieldwork in Russia and Greece was supported at different times by various organizations, and I would like to express my gratitude to them – the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Founda- tion and, personally, its Moscow Office director Tatiana Zhdanova; the Lauritz Meltzer høyskolefond; the Department of Social Anthropology and the Faculty of Social Sciences of the University of Bergen. 8 Abstract This thesis investigates how the ex-Soviet Greek populations used the reforms in Russia and the re- patriation policy of Greece emerging in the 1990s in order to form a new discourse on Greek identity. This new understanding of the Greek identity was marked by the term “Pontians.” The populations (in a Foucauldian sense) known in Russia and the Soviet Union as Greki, “the Greeks”, were never presented as a unified group nor even as a conglomerate of interacting groups. The new identity discourse that emerged, the discourse on Pontianness, was formed after the Gorbachev perestroika and directed not only towards the Russian Government and the general public in Russia, but also to Greece where many ex-Soviet Greeks found a new “homeland” from the end of the 1980s. In this new, post-Soviet situation, people who in the Soviet Union would be identified as Greeks would now be identified as Russians or Russian Pontians in Greece. People holding this identity gained access to different social (and national) fields in Greece, and were allowed the possibility to cross borders as Schengen/EU citizens who could thus choose their places of work and residence in Europe. Thus, the main argument of my thesis is that the identities of various ex-Soviet Greek populations changed and were homogenized after the perestroika. The new Greek identity “Pontians” changed the status of Greek populations in Russia and was simultaneously accepted in Greece as an identity expressing Greek descent. Geographically, the thesis focuses on the southern territories of the Russian Empire (from southeast Ukraine, Crimea and North Caucasus to Abkhazia, Georgia and the Kars region of contemporary Turkey) and is based on fieldwork undertaken between 2006 and 2011 in Russia and Greece. It is the existence of different historical discourses available in Russia and the Soviet Union for establishing “Greekness” and “Pontianness” that is the focus of the two chapters in Part One. My aim with this overview is to document some discursive facts as they appeared at the crossroads of Greekness and Russianness and to show their “constructedness” and in what ways the construction was linked to prior notions of Greekness. Although my historical discussion argues in favor of mosai- cism and plurality in Greek identities, there was an attempt within the USSR in the 1920-30s towards a unification of discourses on Greekness. This was a result of a general ethnic policy according to which any ethnic group was to have its own ethnic territory. However, when the political situation changed, the process of unification/homogenization stopped to be continued only after perestroika 9 as a grass-root initiative among the Greeks. During this period the mass repatriation of ex-Soviet Greeks to Greece influenced significantly the process of homogenization. Therefore, the formation of the new identity was a discursive process that combined two concerns: 1) to establish a new identity in order to claim autonomy and territory; and 2) to establish a new identity to correspond with the new repatriation criteria in order to be recognized as Greek by the Greek authorities and the popula- tion in Greece. The focus of the Part Two is on the Russian Greeks who have opted to move to Greece. This part of the thesis draws mainly on ethnographic material and interviews of informants collected dur- ing fieldwork in Greece. The new possibilities of Russian Greeks moving to Greece created new con- sequences also for the Greeks back in Russia, and it is an aim to compare the two situations: Greeks or Pontians in Russia and Russian Greeks in Greece. Chapters Three and Four present analyses of the problems repatriates face in Greece. I argue that only a few forms of symbolic capital (for example, matrimonial strategies) are able to be “repatriated” with the migrant, while education and work ex- perience prove more difficult. This difficulty is connected not only with language barriers but also with closeness of social fields, in particular, the field of education in Greece. Herefrom, together with de-skillization and de-classization, a crisis of identity appears that is expressed as nostalgia for Russia. I also characterize two women’s biographies in comparative perspective. Both women migrated from Russia to Greece and were quite successful in their appropriation of Greekness. My main argument here is that the appropriation of Greekness may take place (and be used) in contrasting ways with the causes of those contrasts rooted in pre-emigration experience. The last chapter, Chapter Five, sums up the historicizing and theorizing focuses of the thesis and concludes the argument and findings of the thesis. My main argument is that the identity of Greek migrants from ex-Soviet countries to Greece has not always been based on their common identity (as the Pontians, for example). This is a consequence of the more recent periods of migra- tion. Although being labelled “Greeks” in post-Soviet countries, those labelled also maintained their local identity markers, such as Mariupol’skie Greki, Tsalkintsy, Rumei, Urum, Rum, or Romaikos. The post-perestroika mass migration to Greece introduced to these various populations the understand- ing that they all were “Pontians”, or “Helleno-Pontians”, or “Rousso-Pontians”, depending on the dominating discourses provided by the Soviet and Greek states. Although both states sought to unify identities, such efforts failed in Russia as well as in Greece. Their Greekness in Russia (or Pontianess in Greece) has always been “under construction.” The mosaic character of the discourses on Greek- ness in Russia and corresponding populations is a result of the failure of those state discourses. Ra- ther than a unified state discourse, ethnic identity is connected with issues of citizenship, territory, 10 community, origin, marriage, family, education, and so on. In other words, my argument is that the identity of Greek-migrants may be constructed by state discourses, but that the populations of Greeks only adopt it if they deem it profitable. Now the situation is that for many it is more profitable to be Russian Greeks and to leave Greece for Russia. The thesis is a contribution to the anthropology of migration and takes its place in a line of anthropological research from Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union that explores identity changes and their ways. 11 GENERAL INTRODUCTION Discourses on Greek identities The

  • Catherine the Great and the Development of a Modern Russian Sovereignty, 1762-1796
    Catherine the Great and the Development of a Modern Russian Sovereignty, 1762-1796 By Thomas Lucius Lowish A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Victoria Frede-Montemayor, Chair Professor Jonathan Sheehan Professor Kinch Hoekstra Spring 2021 Abstract Catherine the Great and the Development of a Modern Russian Sovereignty, 1762-1796 by Thomas Lucius Lowish Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Victoria Frede-Montemayor, Chair Historians of Russian monarchy have avoided the concept of sovereignty, choosing instead to describe how monarchs sought power, authority, or legitimacy. This dissertation, which centers on Catherine the Great, the empress of Russia between 1762 and 1796, takes on the concept of sovereignty as the exercise of supreme and untrammeled power, considered legitimate, and shows why sovereignty was itself the major desideratum. Sovereignty expressed parity with Western rulers, but it would allow Russian monarchs to bring order to their vast domain and to meaningfully govern the lives of their multitudinous subjects. This dissertation argues that Catherine the Great was a crucial figure in this process. Perceiving the confusion and disorder in how her predecessors exercised power, she recognized that sovereignty required both strong and consistent procedures as well as substantial collaboration with the broadest possible number of stakeholders. This was a modern conception of sovereignty, designed to regulate the swelling mechanisms of the Russian state. Catherine established her system through careful management of both her own activities and the institutions and servitors that she saw as integral to the system.

  • And Christos Zacharakis (PPE-DE)To the Commission (30 November 2001)
    26.9.2002 EN Official Journal of the European Communities C 229 E/13 (2002/C 229 E/011) WRITTEN QUESTION E-3321/01 by Stavros Xarchakos (PPE-DE)and Christos Zacharakis (PPE-DE)to the Commission (30 November 2001) Subject: Targeted demolition of buildings belonging to Greeks in Albania According to complaints by the Greek community of Cheimarra on 22 November 2001 the selective demolition of buildings and homes belonging to members of the internationally recognised Greek ethnic minority of southern Albania is scheduled to commence. The buildings concerned are properties returned to their rightful owners by the local authorities immediately following the fall of Hoxha’s communist regime and include houses, taverns, cafes and offices belonging to Greek organisations together with a Greek language tuition centre. The new mayor of Cheimarra, who belongs to the Socialist party, sent fifteen selective letters of notification of demolition to members of the Greek ethnic minority on the grounds that the buildings concerned, which have been standing for many years and were returned to their rightful owners following revocation of the provisions confiscating them decreed by the previous Communist regime were unauthorised. What view does the Commission take of this? Are such racist tactics by the Albanian authorities against ethnic Greeks in Albania consistent with officially accepted principles in the EU Member States? What immediate measures can be taken to halt the measures thus decided and end the persecution by the Albania of members of the ethnic Greek minority which is recognised not only internationally but also by Albania itself? Reply given by Mr Patten on behalf of the Commission (22 January 2002) The Commission is not aware of the selective demolition of buildings and homes belonging to the ethnic Greek minority in Albania.

  • Advisory Committee on the Framework Convention for the Protection of National Minorities
    ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON THE FRAMEWORK CONVENTION FOR THE PROTECTION OF NATIONAL MINORITIES ACFC/OP/IV(2019)003 Fourth Opinion on Poland - adopted on 6 November 2019 Summary Persons belonging to national minorities in Poland continue to enjoy legal protection of their rights guaranteed under the Framework Convention and a fair level of financial support in the areas of culture, media and education. Few legislative changes have occurred since the previous monitoring cycle which would affect national minorities directly. A set of amendments to the Act on National and Ethnic Minorities and on the Regional Language, aimed at improving a number of gaps was approved by the Sejm in 2015 but ultimately not signed into law by the President. Three further attempts were made for the recognition of Silesians and the Silesian language, but to no avail. The Programme for the Integration of the Roma Community in Poland 2014-2020 has led to tangible improvements. This concerns in particular the area of education, where rates of early dropouts and Roma children in special education were reduced, not least through the work of over 90 Roma assistants employed in schools. Problems continue to persist in attendance of preschools and the transition to secondary education. Discrimination against Roma in the labour market and the housing sector is still widespread and more should be done to combat anti-Gypsyism in society. Whilst the authorities undertake efforts to promote tolerance and understanding, developments during this monitoring cycle suggest a persistent if not worsening climate of intolerance, racism and xenophobia. This concerns often the Jewish and Roma minorities, but increasingly also persons belonging to the Ukrainian minority and migrants from Ukraine.

More precisely, I would like to relate the recent success of some “ideas” about the ancient past of the area with the state of social relations between Albanians and Greeks as experienced by local inhabitants of the borderland. Established in 1913 as a boundary between two national states, the Greek-Albanian border came to separate two geopolitical camps during the Cold War and became an external border of Europe in 1981 when Greece joined the European Community.

    The production of lexical tone in Croatian Inauguraldissertation zur Erlangung des Grades eines Doktors der Philosophie im Fachbereich Sprach- und Kulturwissenschaften der Johann Wolfgang Goethe-Universität zu Frankfurt am Main vorgelegt von Jevgenij Zintchenko Jurlina aus Kiew 2018 (Einreichungsjahr) 2019 (Erscheinungsjahr) 1. Gutacher: Prof. Dr. Henning Reetz 2. Gutachter: Prof. Dr. Sven Grawunder Tag der mündlichen Prüfung: 01.11.2018 ABSTRACT Jevgenij Zintchenko Jurlina: The production of lexical tone in Croatian (Under the direction of Prof. Dr. Henning Reetz and Prof. Dr. Sven Grawunder) This dissertation is an investigation of pitch accent, or lexical tone, in standard Croatian. The first chapter presents an in-depth overview of the history of the Croatian language, its relationship to Serbo-Croatian, its dialect groups and pronunciation variants, and general phonology. The second chapter explains the difference between various types of prosodic prominence and describes systems of pitch accent in various languages from different parts of the world: Yucatec Maya, Lithuanian and Limburgian. Following is a detailed account of the history of tone in Serbo-Croatian and Croatian, the specifics of its tonal system, intonational phonology and finally, a review of the most prominent phonetic investigations of tone in that language. The focal point of this dissertation is a production experiment, in which ten native speakers of Croatian from the region of Slavonia were recorded. The material recorded included a diverse selection of monosyllabic, bisyllabic, trisyllabic and quadrisyllabic words, containing all four accents of standard Croatian: short falling, long falling, short rising and long rising. Each target word was spoken in initial, medial and final positions of natural Croatian sentences.
