Historical memory policy / Miller, Alexei   Journal Article
Miller, Alexei Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract History of Russia narrated as a sequence of only horrors and failures or, on the contrary, as a continuous string of victories and successes is equally unproductive for forming the individual and collective identity. Active patriotism is a key element of a nation's human capital. Fostering active patriotism requires a consistent policy of memory, including an integral concept of Russia's past that would meet the strategic task of developing society and the state. The past twenty years have seen inefficient and inconsistent efforts to pursue such a policy. The result has been a semi-Soviet individual with almost no links with or emotional feelings for the history of his country and with no knowledge of it. World War II remains the only basic element of the memory policy; however, its emotional impact cannot but decrease with years. An active, consistent and competent policy of memory is needed. Attempts to do without ideology and without a policy of memory have led to disastrous results as regards the moral state of society. Like the state, society has lost its development vector. Instead of creative diversity, there is a destructive chaos in people's minds.

Iron cross of the Wrangel's Army: Russian emigrants as interpreters in the Wehrmacht / Beyda, Oleg   Journal Article
Beyda, Oleg Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract This article is based on little-known sources and unpublished documents and traces the fates of some White Army veterans, who during WWII served in the German Army, holding a rank of sonderführer. Some of them were evacuated to Gallipoli from Crimea in November 1920 (gallipoliytsy). The topic of Nazi administration attitude toward the use of Russian emigrants on the front is also touched upon. Special attention is given to the biographies of Russian emigrant interpreters in the 9th Army of the Wehrmacht. It is concluded that the final aims and motivation of Nazis and White émigrés were different. Realization of that contradiction helps the researcher to understand why a part of Russian military emigration had chosen collaboration and joined Hitler's 'crusade against Bolshevism'.

N.F. Katanovs contribution in the recording of Turkig languages / Tarakanova, I.M   Journal Article
Tarakanova, I.M Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract Today the recording of languages is considered to be comparatively a new branch of linguistics, which is connected with field linguistics, i.e. with the study of languages in their natural habitation sphere. N. F. Katanov may be rightfully named as a field scholar, who professionally approached the recording of languages. The main goal of recording is gathering and accumulation of primary data about poorly explored languages. It is especially now because their number is declining. As A. V. Arhipov notes, activity of a field linguist is aimed at description of 11 language, at direct study of the language phenomena, while various concrete research problems can be resolved. The goal of recording is to gather basic data, which would help to investigate a language hereafter (i.e. to resolve concrete research problems) even if it is impossible to get new data. Texts of different speech genres are fixed (stories, fairy-tales, legends, cases from life, etc.). N. F. Katanov may, therefore, be rightfully named as a true field linguist.

From the Karagas people N. F. Katanov continued his travel to Semirechye, then in summer 1890 through Chuguchak to Urumchi, to the residency of a governor of Eastern Turkestan. He spent his winter and the beginning of 1891 in Tarbagatai, where having received emperor's letter from Beijing he started to travel around Gansu-Xinjiang again and got to Myao-orl-du (High monastery) which was situated a little bit more eastern from Komul.

Publication 2013.

His creative work was devoted to multidimensional aspects of scientific activity: ethnography and history, linguistics and translation studies, literary studies and folklore, numismatics and museum work, archaeology and local lore. He was also a talented professor whose lectures drew numerous audience at Kazan University. In spite of the multidimensionality of N. F.

Katanov's collection during four years of his travels (1889-1892) of priceless material such as manuscripts and journal records testifies about it. Later these were published in Sketches of Uryzmkhai land.

N.F. Katanov's folkloristic activity and modern khakass literat / Voronina, N.V   Journal Article
Voronina, N.V Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract N.F. Katanov's difficult, arduous folkloristic collection is of special value in literary studies and cognitive aspects in his extensive scienti?c, pedagogic, enlightening and social activity. Recorded and processed by an outstanding Khakass scholar, folklore texts are not only keepers and translators of the Turkic peoples' spiritual culture but they also accumulate creative work of Khakass poets and novelists. For example V. K. Tatarova (1952), a Khakass poet and novelist, distinguished public figure and famous theorist of Katanov studies wrote parables/ book of poems Cowberry on a palm in 1995 on the basis of materials of an ethnographic expedition around the Minusinsk depression carried out by N. F. Katanov in 1889-1892. It should be noted that "... in the sphere of the Turkic-speaking habitation of Siberia and Eastern Turkestan a researcher managed to collect a great linguistic, ethnographic and folklore material" which today is of cognitive value as a collection of Turkic fairytales, fables, songs, proverbs and sayings. "Folklore materials were published in the IX volume of Folk literature samples of the Turkic tribes (St. Petersburgh, 1907) where folklore pieces of work of the Uryankhais (1,410 names), Khakasses (1,159 names), Karagases (203 names) were included"?

Otantroponymic oykonyms or Khakassia in N. F. Katanov's works / Sunchugashev, R. D   Journal Article
Sunchugashev, R. D Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract In recent years in linguistics, investigation of proper names including anthroponymics and oykonymics has been developing extensively. Anthroponymics is a branch of onomastics, which studies anthroponyms -personal names of people: proper names, patronymics (father's names or other names after father), surnames, tribal names, nicknames and pseudonyms (individual or group), cryptonyms (concealing names)'; oykonymics is a branch of toponymy, which studies oykonymsz, i.e. names of any settlements. These branches are still one of the poorly studied ?eld of Turkic onomastics. In Khakass toponymy considerable part of settlements' names belong to anthroponyms, i.e. proper names and surnames. Formed from anthroponyms, oykonyms give important information of linguistic, historical, ethnographical and ethnocultural nature. They point at the bygone settlement of peoples and tribes, reflect traditional folk culture and change processes in the socio-political and economic life of people.

Publication 2013.
Summary/Abstract Nickolay Fyodorovich Katanov was a great scholar, who gathered the richest material in ethnography, linguistics and folklore, providing a valuable source for studying different sides of the Turkic peoples' life, including Khakasses. Being a linguist- Turcologist N. F. Katanov started his scientific work with the study of the Khakass language, which he spoke, and relying on its knowledge, he began to research other related kind red languages. During his study in Krasnoyarsk high school, he went to various places every year, gathered folklore, linguistic texts and described the customs of the Sagay people. A researcher of the Tatar language D. G. Tumasheva notes: "Nicloloy Fyodorovich was not only an educated and intelligent man but he had his own material, which had been written by him from the first hand through direct contact with the people. N. F. Katanov laid emphasis on the latter, considering the necessity to study a language by means of direct interaction with the people and not by separating history of a language from ethnography, folklore and history of material culture."

Publication 2011.
Summary/Abstract OVER 100 YEARS AGO, the Russian Academy of Sciences received from Paris a vast archive of the Turgenev brothers (their letters, diaries and other documents) repatriated by son of Nikolai Turgenev. Alexander Fomin* who had done a lot to bring the precious documentary collection to Russia spent many years reading, studying and, bit by bit, publishing it. The students of Pushkin and his epoch were jubilant: the legends and stories which came down to them by word of mouth and tales yarned by the few who outlived the epoch of the great poet - in short, everything on which the Pushkin studies had been standing - could be confirmed (or disproved.) By that time, all contemporaries of the great poet had been dead - there was nobody to raise havoc, to object and to condemn the violators of ethics.
