The review analyses Die Geburt des Russländischen Imperiums. Herrschaftskonzepte und -praktiken im 18. Jahrhundert. Beiträge zur Geschichte Osteuropas (The Birth of the Russian Empire: Concepts and Practices of Domination in the 18th Century) by Ricarda Vulpius. The author of the monograph focuses on the question of when Russia became an empire. Vulpius pays special attention to the discussion around this problem in relation to the eighteenth century and offers her own solution to the problem using the Begriffsgeschichte methodology. The historian connects such concepts as imperial discourse and colonialism. In her opinion, a major role in the formation of the imperial idea in Russia was played by the development of the territories of Siberia and the Far East, the Caucasus and the lands inhabited by Bashkirs, Kalmyks, and Kazakhs. Despite the thoroughness of the work carried out, the book is not without drawbacks. They are due to the narrowness of the source base of the study and the impossibility of using the Begriffsgeschichte approach in analysing the structures created for the management of the indigenous population of the Russian Empire.

Burial Grounds

Purpose. The Manchus’ ancestors, the Jurchen people who established the Jin Dynasty (1115-1234) and the Eastern Xia State (1215-1233) on the territory of the Far East, constructed many sites dated back to those periods in Primorye. Mostly, the sites are walled town, settlements and religious buildings. Up to the present day, the Jurchen burial grounds have remained a highly disputable issue and require more detailed descriptions and more accurate dating. Such a burial ground was found 2 km southeast from the village of Novitskoye in the Partizansky District of Primorye. In the article, we analyze and date the artifacts discovered. Results. The archaeological site is located on the creek valley that is 600 m wide extending from the east to the west. The burial ground is located in a deep mountain glen closed on three sides. Fifteen platform-based graves were excavated there. We have determined that all the bodies buried there had been cremated. The ash was put into a ceramic or wooden urn and then placed onto a flat stone on the bottom of the burial pit. After that, the urn was covered with another flat stone and some wooden pieces. One of the graves was constructed on a high basement decorated with two rows of stones. A «devitalized» (embowed) sword was put over the quiver with eleven arrowheads and some remains of bone dust found on the southwestern side of the basement. A grave house made of river gravels, stones or roofing tiles was erected over the grave. Then the pieces of wood were burnt, all the graveside decorations were covered up with soil. As a result, the grave turned into a small mound. We compared the funeral rites and the constructive features of the burial ground in Novitskoye to those of the previously excavated sites and discovered certain similarities in the cremation rituals and some differences in details of the burial constructions. Conclusion. The burial ground of Novitskoye gives archaeologists an opportunity to outline a more comprehensive concept of the Jurchen funeral traditions of the XII–XIII centuries and associate them with the Buddhist funeral ceremony. It was done by determining the ceremonial features, researching the burial constructions excavated and analyzing their chronological and social contexts.

The purpose of the article is to consider the formation of local communities in the Khakass-Minusinsk Territory in the religious migrant world. The authors refer to religious migrants as migrants who left their place of permanent residence in Central Russia and moved to Siberia in the 19th century in an attempt to preserve and spread their non-Orthodox religion. The authors analyse literature, sources from the Siberian archives, scientific articles and monographs on the life of religious migrants in other regions of Siberia and the Far East. The article gives a classification of sects, adopted by pre-revolutionary scholars, examines in detail the representatives of all faiths living in the Khakass-Minusinsk Territory, namely Molokans, Dukhobors, Skoptsy, Catholics and Protestants, especially Lutherans, their number, farming conditions and interaction with local population. The conclusion sets out the reasons why local communities in the studied region did not form: the border location of the region, the indigenous population, which was just beginning to accept Orthodoxy, the fragmentation and small number of sectarians

Исследовалось 52 современные краниологические серии северных монголоидов территории Западной и Восточной Сибири, Дальнего Востока, Центральной Азии и Казахстана, по литературным источникам. По краниологической концепции Н. Н. Чебоксарова их относят к континентальному варианту монголоидов. Анализировались различия среднегрупповых величин 11 метрических признаков этих серий – параметров размера и формы черепной коробки. Изученные краниосерии в целом представляют собой один из трёх выделенных нами ранее панойкуменных краниотипов – голарктидов, характеризующихся по мировым масштабам средней величиной черепной коробки, а по форме среднеудлинённой, широкой и низкосводной. Дендрограмма взаимных расстояний среди изученных краниосерий выявила три кластера, почти равных по численности серий, и достоверно различающихся между собой по трём из одиннадцати сравниваемых признаков. Первый кластер (18 краниосерий) по краниологическим характеристикам наиболее отличен от типичного облика голарктидов и, по нашему мнению, представляет собой хронологически наиболее ранний этап эволюционного развития краниотипа голарктидов. Два других кластера характеризуют более крупноголовый и мелкоголовый варианты типичных восточных голарктидов. 52 modern cranial samples of northern Mongoloids from Western and Eastern Siberia, the Far East, Central Asia and Kazakhstan were studied (based on the data from published sources). These groups are usually referred to as “continental Mongoloids” according to N. N. Cheboksarov classification. The groups were compared using 11 metric traits describing the size and shape of the skull. The studied samples represent one of the three previously identified world craniotypes, Golarktids. Golarktids have medium-long and wide crania of average size. The cluster analysis revealed three clusters of almost equal size; significant differences in three of the eleven traits were found between the clusters. The first cluster (18 samples) is the most different from the typical appearance of the Golarktids and represents the chronologically earliest stage of Golarktids’ evolutionary development. The other two clusters are represented by the larger-headed and smaller-headed variants of typical eastern Golarktids.

The paper investigates cross-cultural differences across Russian regions using the methodology of G. Hofstede. First, it discusses the most common approaches in measuring culture and the application of the Hofstede methodology in subnational studies. It identifies the critical issues in measuring culture at the regional level and suggests several strategies to address them. Secondly, the paper introduces subregional data on individualism and uncertainty avoidance using a survey of students across 27 Russian universities. The data allow to establish geographical patterns of individualism in Russia. It is demonstrated that collectivism is most prevalent in the Volga region, while individualism characteristic becomes stronger towards the Far East. The findings are robust to the inclusion of various controls and different specifications of the regression model. Finally, the paper provides a discussion about the potential of applying the sociocultural approach in economics.
