The article is devoted to sociolinguistic monitoring of Bilingualism in the Regions of Kyrgyzstan. It is commonly known that Kyrgyzstan is a polyglossic state with many languages and many nationalities. Bilingualism is reflecting on language situation in regions, which makes the article extremely relevant. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the current situation in Kyrgyzstan, affected by the previous experiences of multilingualism, examples of the neighboring countries, and new nation-building expectations. The focus of our discussion is the changing role of Russian and its use as the language at the service of the growing Asian economies, denationalized and free from the Soviet historical-cultural background. The new hybrid culture and partly regionalized Russian language serve to unify Central Asian republics with Russia. The leading method for the study was the study of the Kyrgyz language in the context of the history the Kyrgyz people and the geographical position of the Republic of Kyrgyzstan. It was found out that ? number of diverse and complex conditions and factors lead to life-long bilingualism. There are no theories of language studying and training is proficient of explaining bilingual spoken behavior and the mechanisms leading to bilingual language growth.

Abstract What happened to the Republic of Letters? Its history seems to stop at the end of the eighteenth century. And yet, in the nineteenth century, there still existed a community gathered in scholarly societies, maintaining a transnational correspondence network and filling learned journals. The term indeed becomes less frequent, but does not go entirely out of use. This article traces the afterlives of the Republic of Letters in the early nineteenth century. Specifically, it investigates texts that attempt to (re)define the Republic of Letters or a cognate, the wider diffusion of the term, and the changing role of learned journals in that period. While most attempts to reinvent the Republic of Letters failed miserably, they indicate a diagnosis of the state of learning and the position of scholars in a period of transition, and in doing so they contradict an ‘unpolitical’ conception of the Republic of Letters.

В статье рассматриваются миграции бурятского народа в районах преимущественного расселения в 1959–1989 гг. Анализируются источники и методы исследования этнических миграций. Изучена территориальная специфика пространственных перемещений бурятского населения на фоне миграционных тенденций в России в целом и в восточных районах, в частности. Вычислен его механический прирост/убыль в Иркутской и Читинской областях, Бурятской АССР, определены исторические условия, факторы и географические направления миграций, роль сельско-городских перемещений. Выявлено, что буряты Иркутской области обладали самой высокой мобильностью, благодаря тесным контактам с русским населением, интенсивному аграрному и промышленному развитию региона, из-за чего механический отток из области достиг больших размеров. Если вначале была велика доля так называемых «внутренних миграций», в районах основного расселения, то постепенно роль экономических перемещений усилилась, а роль Бурятской АССР как центра притяжения ослабла. У бурят БАССР на протяжении всего рассматриваемого периода было положительное сальдо миграции за счет притока из Предбайкалья и Читинской области. Миграционная подвижность этноса здесь была значительно ниже, чем в Иркутской области, а масштабы сельско-городских миграций были невелики из-за сравнительно невысоких темпов экономического развития и менее тесных контактов с русским населением. Вместе с тем, приток бурятского населения в республику в изучаемый период последовательно снижался. В Читинской области демографический переход у бурятского населения шел медленнее, чем в других регионах преимущественного расселения. В этой связи миграционная мобильность этноса была очень низкой. Регион исторически отличался самыми невысокими темпами роста промышленного производства, меньшей была интенсивность аграрных переселений. В результате буряты области дольше сохраняли традиционные виды хозяйствования, доля городских жителей была небольшой, распространенность русского языка была невысокой. Мобильность бурят усилилась в 1970-е гг., в основном миграции были направлены в БАССР. Роль республики как региона вселения упала лишь в 1980-е гг. The paper studies migration patterns of the Buryat people in the areas with dense Buryat population in 1959–1989. The sources and methods of studying ethnic migrations are analyzed. The territorial specifics of movements of the Buryat population in the context of migration trends in Russia in general and in the Eastern regions in particular are examined. Net migration rate in the Irkutsk and Chita regions and the Buryat ASSR was calculated. Historical conditions, factors and geographical directions of migration, and the role of rural-urban movements were identified. It was revealed that the Buryats of the Irkutsk region had the highest mobility, due to close contacts with the Russian population, intensive agricultural and industrial development of the region, which is why the migration outflow from the region dramatically increased. At first, most migrations were within the studied areas, but then the role of economic movements gradually increased, and the role of the Buryat ASSR as a center of attraction weakened. During the entire period under review, the Buryats of the BASSR had a positive net migration rate due to inflows from the Baikal region and the Chita region. The migration mobility of this ethnic group was significantly lower than in the Irkutsk region, and the rural-urban migration rate was low due to relatively slow economic development and less contacts with the Russian population. At the same time, the influx of Buryat population to the Republic in the studied period consistently decreased. In the Chita region, the demographic transition of the Buryat population was slower than in other regions under consideration. The region has historically had the lowest industrial production growth rates, and the agricultural migrations were less intensive. As a result, the Buryats of the Chita region had long maintained traditional economies, the share of urban residents was low, and Russian language use was not widespread. The mobility of the Buryats increased in the 1970s, and migrations were mainly directed to the BASSR. The role of the Republic as a destination for migrant flows only declined in the 1980s.

Russian influence in Muslim Muslim Central Asia was far reaching. The transformational force of Russian presence first emerged in the administrative setup and governance, soon it spread to the domain of education and sociocultural symbols. The Muslim Central Asian society lost its connection with Muslim world in neighborhood as Russian alphabets, lexemes and structures. The Tsarist era initiated these changes but its scope remained limited. In quest for making the Muslim Central Asians emulate the role of “new Russian man” the Soviet era used force to popularize and cultivate Russian language and culture. However, the distrust among Russian diaspora and Muslim Central Asian local population was deep seated. Once the Soviet Union fell, the demographic and linguistic changes were attacked by nationalists. Despite the post-1991 attempts, Russian language is still dominant in Muslim Central Asia as compared to English and other modern European languages

This paper looks into the role of policy-making carried out by various government officials in the Japanese financial community who contributed to the formulation and implementation of Japanese “Silk Road Diplomacy” in the 1990s and 2000s. Furthermore, it examines the role of key Japanese ministries in the overall Japanese geopolitical engagement in Central Asia. When the five Central Asian republics of the USSR became independent in 1991, they soon encountered a proactive engagement of Japanese diplomacy toward them. Besides boosting bilateral assistance and economic ties, official Tokyo has vigorously promoted the Central Asian states’ eligibility in many international financial institutions and provided extensive advice on reform policies. Both Japanese and Central Asian officials shared a preference for gradualism in economic reforms as a popular approach alternative to the Western neoliberalism in Central Asian countries, although the extent of embracing gradualism varied upon individual republics and advising officials. Spurred by the failures of the Washington consensus and financial crises of the 1990s, Central Asian gradualism can be regarded as an early precursor attempt at post-neoliberalism.
