    A PLAGUE ON BOTH HOUSES?: POPULATION MOVEMENTS AND THE SPREAD OF DISEASE ACROSS THE OTTOMAN-RUSSIAN BLACK SEA FRONTIER, 1768-1830S A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Andrew Robarts, M.S.F.S. Washington, DC December 17, 2010 Copyright 2010 by Andrew Robarts All Rights Reserved ii A PLAGUE ON BOTH HOUSES?: POPULATION MOVEMENTS AND THE SPREAD OF DISEASE ACROSS THE OTTOMAN-RUSSIAN BLACK SEA FRONTIER, 1768-1830S Andrew Robarts, M.S.F.S. Dissertation Advisor: Catherine Evtuhov, Ph. D. ABSTRACT Based upon a reading of Ottoman, Russian, and Bulgarian archival documents, this dissertation examines the response by the Ottoman and Russian states to the accelerated pace of migration and spread of disease in the Black Sea region from the outbreak of the Russo-Ottoman War of 1768-1774 to the signing of the Treaty of Hünkar Iskelesi in 1833. Building upon introductory chapters on the Russian-Ottoman Black Sea frontier and a case study of Bulgarian population movements between the Russian and Ottoman Empires, this dissertation analyzes Russian and Ottoman migration and settlement policies, the spread of epidemic diseases (plague and cholera) in the Black Sea region, the construction of quarantines and the implementation of travel document regimes. The role and position of the Danubian Principalities of Moldavia and Wallachia as the “middle ground” between the Ottoman and Russian Empires

  • HOW NEIGHBOURS COMMUNICATE: the ROLE of LANGUAGE in BORDER RELATIONS SONNI OLSEN | Pages 11-23 11
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Lauda HOW NEIGHBOURS COMMUNICATE: THE ROLE OF LANGUAGE IN BORDER RELATIONS SONNI OLSEN | Pages 11-23 11 How Neighbours Communicate: The Role of Language in Border Relations SONNI OLSEN Associate Professor, Dean, Faculty of Humanities, Social Sciences and Education, The University of Tromso, The Arctic University of Norway [email protected] ABSTRACT This paper reports on a study of the linguistic situation in the border region where Norway meets Russia in the north. The aim of the study was to investigate language use when contact is revitalised after a long period with closed borders. The Norwegian and Russian languages are very different in vocabulary and structure, which makes com- munication difficult. How are the two languages affected by extended contact and mi- gration across the border? The study was carried out by the author and Marit Bjerkeng through interviews, a questionnaire and observation of the linguistic situations in two Norwegian communities. The results show an ongoing development where the neigh- bouring language is increasingly noticeable, and there is a clear link between attitudes, identity and language use. The role of public policy seems to play an important role for the developing linguistic situation, as the Barents region as a political concept in- troduced in the 1990s has led to cross-border contact within various fields and also inspired local language policy, contributing to cultural pride and changing attitudes. Keywords: neighbouring language, border regions, attitude, identity INTRODUCTION The border between Russia and Norway was closed for nearly all of the 20th century, causing limited contact between people on opposite sides of the border.

  • Of Russian-Chinese Trade Pidgin
    Language Contacts on the Russian-Chinese Border: the ‘Second Birth’ of Russian-Chinese Trade Pidgin Kapitolina Fedorova State borders can be seen as both physical and symbolic barriers, prohibiting any uncontrolled transition between neighboring countries. At the same time the very fact of a border’s existence inevitably provokes various language and cultural contacts on near-boundary territories. These contacts may induce serious changes in local communities’ verbal behaviour, even resulting in the appearance of new hybrid linguistic systems like pidgin and Creole languages. For a long period in history the border between the Russian Empire and China was a place of constant and intensive cultural and language contacts that gave birth to a trade pidgin, the so-called Kiakhta language, or Russian-Chinese Pidgin. At the end of the 1930s the border between China and the USSR was closed, many Chinese were deported from the border regions, and any contact became impossible (Perekhval’skaia 2007). Russian-Chinese Pidgin passed out of use and was soon forgotten. After Perestroika in the Soviet Union trade on the Russian-Chinese border started again, with a great deal of seasonal migration between the two countries (Sharmashkeeva 2007). In communicating with each other Russian and Chinese speakers use different language forms, some of which resemble those typical of the Russian-Chinese Pidgin of the past. What is more, the language attitudes of speakers and the sociolinguistic situation in border regions now and in the past are similar in some ways, giving the researcher a rare chance to witness the ‘second birth’ of a pidgin.

  • Russian Emigration to Norway After the Russian Revolution and Civil War
    Russian Emigration to Norway after the Russian Revolution and Civil War Victoria V. Tevlina (UiT The Arctic University of Norway; Northern [Arctic] Federal University, Arkhangelsk) ussian people emigrating to Norway and, indeed, other countries, too, is a Rfairly typical phenomenon that can be observed throughout the twentieth century as a consequence of socioeconomic, political, and cultural upheavals in their homeland. Norway has been Russia’s neighbor in the North since time immemorial, but has only had an officially established border, almost two hun- dred km in length, since 1826. This means that Norway and Russia are neigh- bors of several centuries’ standing.1 This article deals with Russian emigration to Norway, which to a great extent went across this northern boundary between the two countries—but not just the northern boundary. The analysis of each of the three major and minor waves of emigration by Russians to Norway over nearly a hundred years is an important task, but not a simple one. Russian emi- gration to Norway fits into the broader picture of the Russian diaspora, and is a branch of the larger Russian migration to Scandinavia in general. This particu- lar branch has been studied, but far from sufficiently.2 In essence, the three waves of emigration to Norway coincide, more or less, with the three periods of development of the Russian state: pre-revolutionary (1900–1917); Soviet (1917–1991); and post-Soviet Russia (beginning of 1 Konstantin Zaikov and Jens Petter Nielsen, “Mot en ny grense.

  • Russian Old Believers' Heritage and Traditions in Romania
    Russian Old Believers’ Heritage and Traditions in Romania – Bridging the Past and the Future Cristina Elena Clopot Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Heriot Watt University School of Social Sciences, Department of Languages and Intercultural Studies September 2017 The copyright in this thesis is owned by the author. Any quotation from the thesis or use of any of the information contained in it must acknowledge this thesis as the source of the quotation or information. Abstract This thesis focuses on the heritage and traditions of the Russian Old Believers community in Romania. The study begins with an examination of the limited recognition of the 19 officially recognised ethnic groups in the country. Analysed in connection with the history of Old Belief, the study then considers (a) the narratives developed around heritage, (b) the manner in which different forms of heritage are included in Old Believers’ lives and traditions and (c) the representation of that heritage. The theoretical framework is underpinned by a multi-disciplinary structure that draws on heritage studies, anthropology, ethnology and folklore. Methodologically, the study was designed as an interpretive multi- sited ethnography that combines extensive fieldtrips, interviews, observations and archival material. While acknowledging the challenges of UNESCO’s conceptualisation of heritage, the thesis relies in part on the organisation’s interpretation as a framework for analysis. The examination considers the representation of Old Believers in the media and in museums as well as the use of heritage and traditions in tourism activities. The data tracks the accelerated pace of change in the post-socialist period and the effects this brought on existing heritage processes.
