The article considers the features of traditional clothes of descendants of Belarusian peasant migrants of the second half of the 19th and early 20th centuries living in Siberia and the Far East. Methods and materials. Basic materials of the study is oral descriptions of clothing, which were collected among descendants of migrants, who were born in the 1910s – 1950s, and also visual observation of the samples of traditional clothing which are stored in museums. On the basis of using the comparative-historical and typological methods, the transformations of the practice of making and wearing clothing have been investigated. Analysis. The analysis of the field materials indicates that the traditional clothing of Belarusian migrants continued to play an important role in their domestic culture from the late 19th century to the 1950s – 1960s. The traditional complex of Belarusian clothing has undergone transformations in a new place because of needs to adapt it to the diff...

For the fi rst time, the task was set to analyze the connection between specifi c phenomena of the sign-semantic space of traditional culture and the identity of the Russian and other East Slavic peoples of Siberia, taking into account their diversity in the 19th – the fi rst third of the 20th century, when the foundations of regional and ethno-cultural self-awareness were laid. The issue of the existence of a common Siberian identity (meaning that unites all Siberian administrative units, regions and territories) and the features of its formation, as well as options for visualizing the image of Siberia and “Siberianness” in the process of searching for one’s own identity, is comprehensively considered. For ethnographers, anthropologists, historians, culturologists, local historians, students and everyone who is interested in the culture and way of life of Russian and other East Slavic peoples living in Siberia.

Based on the field data, a number of general trends in their evolution are considered for the period from the end of the nineteenth to the beginning of the twenty-first centuries. Initially the magical folk rites which fulfilled traditional apotropaic and producing functions were actively used to withstand natural disasters, crop failures, epidemics and epizootics. During the period of social upheavals in the USSR caused by the politics of atheism, collectivization of the agricultural sector, and World War II, some of these folk rites acquired new peculiar contexts of actualization. They include the emergence of new patron functions of the saints and change in the range of situations when vows, collective prayers and religious processions were to be conducted. The author concludes that at present the descendants of Belarusian migrant peasants have maintained mostly those folk beliefs and rites which have preserved their value in everyday life.

Based on field data collected from different generations of Belorussian settlers born during the 20th century, the study indicates that the mechanism of this transfer went through three very distinct phases. From the second half of the 19th century until the 1920’s, the children of Belorussian settlers adopted the ethnic identity and traditions of their parents, much like their forefathers back home. During the Soviet era, i.e., from the early 1920’s until the late 1980’s, the state sought to replace Belorussian customs and conventions among the settlers’ children with its own homogenous, socialist modernity. After the USSR’s collapse in 1991, the growing influence of mass media and more contemporary socio-cultural processes began to influence how ethnic traditions were transferred to the young. All three periods left their impri...

The main source of the actual information and the empirical basis reflecting the features of traditional ecological knowledge of the ethnic groups considered in the article are the scientific publications and ethnographic descriptions made by Russian researchers in the second half of the 19th century through to the beginning of the 21st century, and the results of our modern field research in the territory of Siberia and the Far East of Russia. The methodology of the study lies in the field of ethnoecology, and contains comparative and typological approaches, which have allowed for the detection and systematization of the main spheres of using natural cryogenic resources in traditional subsistence systems by the people of Russia, which include using the environment for indigenous subsistence, building materials, food preservation, obtaining ...

Historical and geographical reconstruction of Urals and Siberia served as the empirical basis of the study. A hypothesis that highlights some of the basic morphological components of the cultural landscape on the scale of a given region is set forth based on that reconstruction. Communications and cultural values have been classified as the primary morphological components. The article compares the cultural landscape's communicative structure and two main forms of communication. The first form includes land communication routes and regional settlement patterns, which establish a kind of communicative framework for the cultural landscape of the region. The second form is the circle of social and cultural interactions that directly or indirectly affect the economic development and life activities of regional communities. Each of these forms of communication reflects a certain pattern of cul...

However, maintenance of green infrastructure in the Arctic has specific difficulties associated with the harsh climatic and environmental conditions. This paper focuses on state and dynamics of vegetation in the city of Nadym, Russia, with a particular focus on native and introduced trees as the main ecosystem service providers and an articulation of local values towards green spaces. The research is based on interdisciplinary approach which includes interviews with local residents, geobotanical survey and analysis of remote sensing data. The results of the study show that maintaining of natural vegetation requires specific measures due to environmental the critical impact of anthropogenic activity.

The results of the study show that maintaining of natural vegetation requires specific measures due to environmental the critical impact of anthropogenic activity. The active introduction of plants from more southern regions is manifested both in the deliberate practice of landscaping the city’s streets and courtyards, and in spontaneous attempts to introduce plants from more southern (not Subarctic) agricultural regions of Russia, which are privately brought by city residents from other regions.

The article aims to address the knowledge gap on indicators used for assessment of green spaces for urban sustainability in the Arctic using an example of Nadym, Russia which is illustrative of compact cities built during the Soviet time using a system of microrayons. Different indicators implemented by international organizations for assessment of green spaces are compared with indicators used in Russia. Utilizing very high-resolution WorldView-3 satellite image and open source data, the quantity and quality of green spaces are estimated with high accuracy. In addition to traditionally used indicators of share of green space per capita, share of public spaces for common use within walking distance to assess availability and accessibility of green spaces, the paper suggests importance of taking into account governance, distribution, and composition using analysis of historic legacies, municipal budget allocation for green space maintenance, and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index values. Such detailed view can enrich discussions about green spaces as sources for resilience both at the local and global levels, in comparison with other cities and across countries.

Впервые поставлена задача проанализировать связь конкретных
явлений знаково-смыслового пространства традиционной культуры и идентичности русского и других восточно-славянских народов Сибири с учетом их многообразия в XIX – первой трети ХХ в., когда закладывались основы регионального и этнокультурного самоосознания. Всесторонне рассмотрен вопрос существования общесибирской идентичности (объединяющей все сибирские
административные единицы, области и края) и особенностей ее формирования, а также вариантов визуализации образа Сибири и «сибирскости» в процессе поисков собственной идентичности.
Для этнографов, антропологов, историков, культурологов, краеведов, студентов и всех, кто интересуется культурой и образом жизни русских и других восточно-славянских народов, проживающих в Сибири.
On the basis of many years of field ethnographic materials, the authors of the collective monograph made an attempt to reveal the diversity of identities of the ethnocultural groups of Russian old-timers of Siberia and Altai (chaldons, Siberians, Old Believers), as well as Belarusian and Ukrainian settlers of the 19th - early 20th centuries. For the first time, the task was set to analyze the connection between specific phenomena of the sign-semantic space of traditional culture and the identity of the Russian and other East Slavic peoples of Siberia, taking into account their diversity in the 19th - the first third of the 20th century, when the foundations of regional and ethno-cultural self-awareness were laid. The issue of the existence of a common Siberian identity (uniting all Siberian administrative units, regions and territories) and the features of its formation, as well as options for visualizing the image of Siberia and “Siberianness” in the process of searching for one’s own identity, are comprehensively considered.
For ethnographers, anthropologists, historians, culturologists, local historians, students and anyone interested in the culture and lifestyle of Russians and other East Slavic peoples living in Siberia.
