Ethnocultural Identity

Работа посвящена выявлению и анализу архивных материалов из фонда Алтайской духовной миссии (Государственный архив Алтайского края, фонд 164), освещающих особенности этно-культурной идентичности русского населения подведомственной миссии территории (Горный Алтай и его предгорья). При этом религиозная идентичность рассматривается в неразрывной взаимосвязи с этнокультурной и как ее важнейшая составляющая. Выявление подобных материалов представляется актуальным, поскольку позволяет впоследствии осуществить метод интеграции архивных и полевых этнографических источников и получить более достоверную картину особенностей этнокультурной идентичности русских и ее трансформаций в условиях иноэтнического окружения и поликонфессиональной среды. Рассмотрение наблюдений миссионеров начала ХХ в. особенно интересно тем, что отражает процессы, последовавшие за провозглашением свободы совести в 1905 г. По рассматриваемым материалам прослеживается активизация религиозной деятельности старообрядцев и охлаждение к церкви православных. Также наблюдается своеобразная конкуренция православной церкви и старообрядческих общин за своих прихожан, особенно актуальной проблема становится в смешанных в конфессиональном отношении населенных пунктах. Прослеживаются процессы трансформации идентичности, такие как переходы из православия в старообрядчество и, реже, наоборот, также переходы из одного старообрядческого согласия в другое, что, безусловно является интереснейшим проявлением трансформации этнокультурной идентичности. Выявляются наиболее распространенные причины таких переходов, по большей части связанные с практическими соображениями, такими как желание вступить в брак, часто повторный, или получить более выгодные экономические условия. Миссионеры в своих записках выделяют также ряд важнейших этнокультурных маркеров принадлежности к старообрядчеству, не только обрядовых, но и связанных с внешним видом, одеждой, приятием или неприятием некоторых новых явлений жизни. В целом, можно говорить о том, что в начале ХХ в. в Горном и предгорном Алтае наблюдается достаточно пестрый этнокультурный состав русского населения и разнообразные процессы трансформации этнокультурной идентичности. The research is dedicated to revealing and analyzing of archival materials from the fund of the Altai ecclesiastical mission (State archive of the Altai Krai, Fund 164) that concern the specifics of ethnocultural identity of the Russian population who lived at the territory (Gorny Altai and low elevational parts of the Altai) that referred to the running of this mission. The religious identity of the people is seen as closely connected to the ethnocultural identity and is its important integral part. The finding of these materials is believed of much relevance, for it allows using the method of integration of archival and field ethnographical resources and further obtaining of a more clear picture of the specific features in the ethnocultural identity of the Russians, and how it was transformed in conditions of the foreign surrounding and multiconventional environment. The study of the observations of missionaries of the 20th century is especially interesting due to its potential to reflect processes that followed the declaration of freedom of worship in 1905. The studied materials show a growing activity in the sphere of religion among Old Believers and alienation from church among the Orthodox believers. The research reveals a particular competition between the Orthodox church and the communities of Old Believers to have more parishioners, which was a specially evident problem at settlements with confessionally mixed relationships. The research discovers processes of transformation of the identity of people, such as transferring of from the Orthodox church to Old Believers and on the contrary visa versa, what is still noticed much rarer. There were cases of leaving one Old Beleivers’ community for another, and these cases most interesting explosion of the transformation processes of the ethnocultural identity. The work also names the most common reasons of these transformative changes, which were largely dependent on practical perspectives of the people, including willing to get married again, or acquiring a more lucrative economic conditions. The missionaries note in their records a number of most essential ethnocultural markers that belong to the Old Belief, such markers that not only concern rituals, but referring to the outlook of a person, his clothes, accepting or not accepting some new things in life. In general, one can say that in the beginning of the 20th century in Gorny Altai and its neighboring low elevations in Russia the ethnocultural composition of the Russian population was quite varied and was subject to different transformation processes of the ethnocultural identity.

The article examines the main forms and methods of agitation and propagandistic activities of monarchic parties in Russia in the beginning of the 20th century. Among them the author singles out such ones as periodical press, publication of books, brochures and flyers, organization of manifestations, religious processions, public prayers and funeral services, sending deputations to the monarch, organization of public lectures and readings for the people, as well as various philanthropic events. Using various forms of propagandistic activities the monarchists aspired to embrace all social groups and classes of the population in order to organize all-class and all-estate political movement in support of the autocracy. While they gained certain success in promoting their ideology, the Rights, nevertheless, lost to their adversaries from the radical opposition camp, as the monarchists constrained by their conservative ideology, could not promise immediate social and political changes to the population, and that fact was excessively used by their opponents. Moreover, the ideological paradigm of the Right camp expressed in the “Orthodoxy, Autocracy, Nationality” formula no longer agreed with the social and economic realities of Russia due to modernization processes that were underway in the country from the middle of the 19th century.

In the beginning, the surface of BSMI problematizes the red symbol that was used by PMI because it was analyzed as a Christian symbol, feeling hesitant when used as a cross symbol in humanitarian missions is the basic reason as their appearance of religiosities in public life. Talking about the symbol, the crescent has a long history of how it can be “identified” as a symbol of Islam and how the people identified those as an identity of the religion by signifying sacred behind the symbol. The symbolization of religion cannot be separated from the method of semiotic approach where explains the science of sign. Through this sign, people can find their identity and communicatewith each other as social interaction and also find a sacred behind the symbol. For the last theory, I would use the social movement and development that indicate the turn organization not only happen in the case of philanthropy but also will eradicate to the other social application movement. Therefore, in my opinion, the surface of BSMI cannot be rid by the development of crescent symbol interpretation as a symbolization of religious identity due to symbolism as a way to communicate and interact with society

The purpose of this study is to present the religious life of the Old Believers in the Ekaterinoslav diocese of at the beginning of the 20th century and analyze the specific nature of the Orthodox mission activities in their midst. The research methodology is based on the principles of historicism, consistency, author’s objectivity, as well as on general scientific (analysis, synthesis, concretization, generalization) and special historical (problem-chronological, historical-genetic, historical-typological) methods. The problem-chronological method has been employed to analyze the religious life of the Old Belief communities in the Ekaterinoslav diocese and reveal the religious policy of the official Orthodox Church towards the Old Believers in the specified period. The historical-genetic method has been applied to analyze the transformations of the Old Belief in the Ekaterinoslav diocese and examine the confessional policy of the Orthodox Church. The historical-typological method has been adopted to study the internal separation and conflicts in the Old Belief of the Ekaterinoslav diocese and consider the forms of religious policy implementation. The scientific novelty of the undertaken researchlies in the fact that for the first time the internal distribution of the Old Belief in the Ekaterinoslav diocese has been comprehensively studied, the course of the conflict between the okruzhniki and the neokruzhniki has been disclosed, the forms and methods of missionary activity of the official Orthodox Church have been presented. Conclusions. At the beginning of the 20th century, 10 000 Old Believers lived in the Ekaterinoslav diocese. The popovtsy represented the overwhelming majority; the neokruzhniki, the bespopovtsy, and the beglopopovtsy were made up groups. The relations with priests, whose actions provoked indignation among the parish, caused the internal conflicts in the communities. The case of the priest S. Tokarev gained special publicity. The conflict was acute in popovshchina, between the okruzhniki and the neokruzhniki, that gradually began to decline after the act of reconciliation in 1906. On the way to reconciliation, the community of the okruzhniki faced an alleged provocation against Archbishop Ioann. The «fight» against the Old Believers remained the priority in the activities of the Orthodox missionary. The diocesan missionaries were opposed both by the representatives of the clergy and the ordinary Old Believers, and the authorities, namely the Old Belief nachyotchiki K. Peretrukhin, V. Zelenkov, L. Pichugin, and others. Despite the high level of organization and activities of the missionary institute, the immediate success of the mission was limited.

Abstrak Tulisan ini menjelaskan tentang perkembangan pers di Sumatera seperti Palembang, Medan, Sibolga, Padang, dan Kota Raja di Aceh pada paruh kedua abad ke-19. Namun demikian, tulisan ini fokus pada daerah Padang yang menjadi pusat perniagaan yang dikelola oleh orang Eropa (terutama Belanda) dan Tionghoa. Selanjutnya, pada awal abad ke-20, para pengusaha pribumi mulai terlibat dalam bidang percetakan dan penerbitan, seperti surat kabar Alam Minangkerbau (1904), Perserikatan Orang Alam Minangkerbau (OAM) tahun 1911 milik orang pribumi asal Minangkabau. Mulai saat itu usaha di bidang percetakan dan penerbitan semakin berkembang di Sumatra. Usaha ini pun hingga memunculkan berbagai karakter dan kepentingan masyarakat pribumi terutama tentang suara-suara kelompok atau organisasi yang memperjuangkan nasib masyarakat miskin, tertindas, maupun yang kurang mendapatkan pengajaran. Sampai menjelang pertengahan abad ke-20 suara-suara masyarakat semakin tumbuh dan direpresentasikan melalui berbagai media cetak. Banyak yang mengusung tentang pentingnya pendidikan baik umum maupun agama di samping tentang periklanan dari perusahaan-perusahaan perkebunan. Maka dari perkembangan pers inilah tidak sedikit yang mengawali suara nasionalisme bangsa dari berbagai wilayah di Indonesia termasuk dari Sumatera. ---Abstract This article explains about the development of press in Sumatera, such as Palembang, Medan, Sibloga, Padang, and Kota Raja in Aceh in the second half of 19th Century. However, it focuses on Padang as the center of commerce run by European (especially Dutch), and Chinese. In addition, in the beginning of 20th Century, the indigenous petty bourgeoisie involved in printing and publishing sector, such as Alam Minangkerbau newspaper (1904), Perserikatan Orang Alam Minangkerbau (OAM) in 1911 owned by the local people from Minangkabau. Since then, printing and publishing business had been growing in Sumatera. The business brought various characteristics and also local people interests, especially the voices of groups or organization that fought for the poor, the oppressed people, and the ones who were lack of education access. Until the mid of 20th century, the voices of the people was growing and represented through variety of printed media. Many of them carried on the importance of education, both general and religious education, as well as advertising and plantation companies. This development of press brought the voice of nationalism from various region, including Sumatra.

The icon in liturgy, liturgy on the icon.The icon in liturgical space The article presents the position of icon in the sacred space of the Orthodox church and its function in liturgy of the Byzantine rite. In the beginning a rich theology of icon was outlined and its importance in Eastern tradition. In the Eastern Church the icon is considered as a window to heaven, a special sacrament of God’s presence – Christ, Mary and saints among the people. Equally important is the role of illustrating and revealing a dogma, a didactic explanation of the Church’s teaching to the faith-ful. These functions the icon plays mostly within the temple, mainly during liturgy, which celebrated on the earth is also considered as an image – an icon of celestial liturgy. Through the article a reader is made familiar with the iconographic plan of the church and the arrangement of the icons according to the strictly observed pattern. It becomes more comprehensive in the context of liturgical action, when the icon plays a very important role. For that reason the particular parts of Divine Liturgy (Eucha-rist) are described with regard to the role of icons within the celebration. Eventually the paper presents several icons of a strictly liturgical character, that have started to appear within the church since the 9th century. Finding a right place within the sacred space, the icons have affirmed their liturgical flavour and assured about their exceptional meaning in life, liturgy and ecclesial spirituality of the Byzantine rite.

In contemporary Russia, on the one hand, there is a marked tendency towards re-strengthening of Orthodox Church. On the other hand, new patterns of religion and religious behaviour are manifest. This paper examines the alternative moral discourse in framework of “right-wing” religious practices in Ural region. Taking a comparative approach to religiosity, this investigation deals with different trajectories taken by Old-believers and Neopagans in Ural region to create new moral and social order for contemporary Russia. How do the people of different religious denominations within limits of region want to arrange their place, what do they aspire to, what do they want to express, and by what means? How do they create and maintain social cohesion? How do they express mutual acceptance and recognition, and how do they withhold it? These problems can obviously be described in terms of continuity and change, since religious models are either to be borrowed from some close or distant sources or to be elaborated anew according to particular social and ideological contexts.

The article examines the social aspect of the Russian monarchist ideology in the beginning of the 20th century. The Rights considered that to preserve the traditional political system it was necessary to preserve also the traditional social system based on the society class division. In truth, giving in to the spirit of time, they resigned the class hierarchy supporting the class openness (thus, recognizing the necessity of society horizontal mobility channels) and intended to place on the class self-government authorities the functions of social representation, thus anticipating the ideas of pluralistic democracy that appeared in the West half a century later. The social program of the Rights failed to attract mass social groups, first of all workers and peasants, that was explained, on the one hand, by populism of their political opponents, who didn’t doubt to resort to social demagogy, and, on the other hand, by the frugality of the promises of the Rights, who followed the tactics of “small deeds” borrowed from the Narodniks and aimed at gradual improvement of the conditions of the people. In general, the monarchists failed to block the propagation of liberal and socialist ideas in Russian society and that became the main reason for their catastrophic defeat in 1917.

In this article the author examines the process of economic adaptation of resettlement farms in the context of the imperial strategy of attracting the Orthodox population to the region. The article proves that the migration movement in Turkestan in the second half of the 19th — early 20th century was of great state importance and the settlers acted as agents of colonization; belonging to the Orthodox community became the basis of solidarity for the resettlement community. Based on an analysis of unpublished archival sources, the author revealed that the empire used the religious identity of the settlers, which became a mechanism for the state selection of settlers for migration in the region for effective build a migration policy to Turkestan. The author concludes that the state policy towards sectarians and Old Believers was ambivalent: their migration to the region was restricted by legal mechanisms and at the same time their settlement was allowed and not prosecuted because of the high success rate of economic farms.
