Despite their significant numbers, however, these Ukrainians remain largely unknown to the international community, receiving none of the attention that has been accorded, for example, to Russian minorities in the successor states to the former Soviet Union. According to the last Soviet census of 1989, approximately 4.3 million Ukrainians live in the Russian Federation; unofficial estimates of the size of this group run considerably higher. Deprived of support mechanisms for the cultivation of their identity since the early 1930s, members of this "Eastern diaspora," as they are popularly known in Ukraine (to distinguish them from Ukrainians in the West), have once again been organizing in the post-glasnost era and voicing their concerns on the issue of minority rights. They point to the privileged position of Russians in Ukraine, where, to cite a single example, Russians have access to a multitude of schools in their native language. Ukrainians in Russia still do not enjoy similar provisions. The growing literature on Ukrainians in Russia has increased particularly during the last two years. Much of it has been published in Ukraine, but the recent proliferation of Ukrainian organizations in Russia, now numbering about 50, indicates a concomitant trend toward publishing among the far-flung Ukrainian communities in the world's largest state. As a contribution to raising awareness of this relatively unknown but very large minority, the Canadian Institute of Ukrainian Studies Press has co-published, with Mapa Ltd. of Kyiv, The Eastern Ukrainian Diaspora: An Atlas (Kyiv, Toronto and Edmonton, 1993) by Vsevolod Naulko, Rostyslav Sossa and Ihor Vynnychenko. This is a translation of the original Ukrainian publication, Ukraintsi: Skhidna diaspora. Atlas, issued by Mapa Ltd. in Kyiv in 1992. The present work, which includes bibliographic and statistical data, may be considered a companion to the atlas. The bibliography of sources on Ukrainians in Russia is divided into two sections: books and journal articles, arranged under topical and geographic headings, and recent newspaper articles, similarly arranged. This is 2 Ukrainians in Russia followed by a list of all known Ukrainian periodicals published in Russia or abroad by emigrants from Russia. Here, unfortunately, many entries are incomplete, since information on dates of publication is lacking. The five-volume Encyclopedia of Ukraine (Toronto: University of Toronto Press, 1984- 93) and the 13-volume Ukrainian-language Entsyklopediia ukrainoznavstva (Munich, Paris and New York Molode Zhyttia, 1949-84) have proved to be invaluable sources of biographical information on Ukrainians who settled in Russia voluntarily or under coercion. Consequently, it has been considered useful to provide a list of the names of these Ukrainians culled from the encyclopedias, accompanied by the places in Russia with which these individuals are associated. The list has been limited almost entirely to Ukrainians who spent their last years in Russia and who, for the most part, were buried there. It also includes a number of Ukrainians from Russia who settled abroad and played an active role in Ukrainian community life in their adopted countries. For general information about Ukrainians who involuntarily spent their final years in Russia, the reader is referred to such entries as "Concentration camps" and "Dissident movement" in the Encyclopedia of Ukraine and to the bibliographies that accompany these entries. The statistical section consists of data on the number and distribution of Ukrainians in Russia derived from the Soviet censuses of 1926 and 1989. Despite its faults, the census of 1926 is considered the most accurate count ever taken of Ukrainians in Russia. By comparing the returns of the two censuses, the reader can observe the general trend toward the diminution of Ukrainians in their regions of settlement in Russia, owing primarily to the influence of cultural Russification. At the end of this report, the reader will find a directory of all known addresses of Ukrainian organizations in Russia. The census results and directory of organizations are translated from Ihor Vynnychenko, Ukraintsi v derzhavakh kolyshn'oho SRSR: istoryko-heohrafichnyi narys (Zhytomyr: L'onok, 1992). It is hoped that this publication will serve as a stimulus to further research, which in turn will lead to enhanced understanding of a long neglected and now renascent minority. Readers are invited to submit additional information and news of current developments that will make future editions of this report more useful to researchers. S.C.

Finns and Hungarians at times do. When I speak of “Finno-Ugrian cooperation,” I am referring to a linguistic label that joins peoples whose languages are so distantly related that in most world contexts it would evoke no feelings of kinship.1 Similarities in folk culture may largely boil down to worldwide commonalities in peasant cultures at comparable technological stages. The racial features of Estonians and Mari may be quite disparate. Limited mutual intelligibility occurs only within the Finnic group in the narrow sense (Finns, Karelians, Vepsians, Estonians), the Permic group (Udmurts and Komi), and the Mordvin group (Moksha and Erzia). Yet, despite this almost abstract foundation, the existence of a feeling of kinship is very real. Myths may have no basis in fact, but belief in myths does occur. Before denigrating the beliefs of indigenous and recently modernized peoples as nineteenth-century relics, the observer might ask whether the maintenance of these beliefs might serve some functional twenty-first-century purpose. The underlying rationale for the Finno-Ugrian kinship beliefs has been a shared feeling of isolation among Indo-European and Turkic populations.

We analyzed the problems of water supply for the population of global scale and regional importance. A method for the electrolysis- structural activation of water oriented on the use of initial fresh rainwater or desalinated membrane technology of sea water in a mix with biologically purified household sewage waters. This method can be used on sea vessels, in arid regions of the planet, and in areas with saline groundwater. Activation of water is achieved by mixing biologically purified wastewater obtained by technology that ensures the quality of purified water at the level of requirements for release in a fishery pond and desalinated water (rainwater) or obtained by reverse osmosis in a ratio of their volumes not more than 10:1 1 Introduction Today, mankind has faced the most serious challenges and threats to the environmental safety of the environment during the entire historical period of its existence, among which the key is the violation of water balance on the planet.

KOMI FOLKLORE STUDIES: CONNECTING POINTS1 Liudmila Lobanova Researcher Department of Folklore, Institute of Language, Literature, and History Komi Science Centre, Russian Academy of Sciences, Russia Email: [email protected] Nikolay Kuznetsov Lecturer in Finno-Ugric Languages Department of Finno-Ugric Studies University of Tartu Email: [email protected] The special edition of Folklore: Electronic Journal of Folklore is dedicated to Komi2 folklore and folklore studies. The issue was prepared within the frame- work of cooperation between the Department of Folkloristics of the Estonian Literary Museum and the Folklore Department of the Komi Science Centre by Komi and Estonian folklore researchers. Prior to this, the authors published one of the issues (vol. 17, 2016) of the Sator periodical, which was also dedi- cated to Komi folklore studies. The goal of this issue is to present some of the results of recent Komi folklore studies to wider academic circles, overcoming the natural linguistic obstacles. The majority of articles are written within the research project “Local Folklore Traditions of the European Northeast of Russia: Mechanisms of Development and Adaptation, System of Genres, Ethnocultural Folklore Interaction” (№ AAAA-A17-117021310066-4). The history of Komi folklore studies reveals processes typical for the Rus- sian, Soviet, and post-Soviet research dealing with folklore (the research field extended and became more limited over time), as well as studying the Komi language and culture as part of the general development of Finno-Ugric stud- ies. Traditionally, academician Andreas Sjögren (1794–1855) is considered to have discovered Komi folklore – in 1827, he transcribed folklore texts and published them as examples of the Komi language.

We add information on climate, linguistic geography, typology, and cognate frequency distributions to reconstruct the Uralic origin and spread. We argue that the Uralic homeland was east of the Urals and initially out of contact with Indo-European. The spread was rapid and without widespread shared substratal effects. We reconstruct its cause as the interconnected reactions of early Uralic and Indo-European populations to a catastrophic climate change episode and interregionalization opportunities which advantaged riverine hunter-fishers over herders.
