    Abstract:
    The article is devoted to the study of Chuvash ethnic myth-making in cyberspace. The aim of the work is to determine its role as one of the factors of ethnicity representation. The study is based on the analysis of the relevant content presented on popular web platforms and social networks YouTube, Rutube, Zen, VKontakte, Odnoklassniki. The study identifies a certain section of content offered by search algorithms as the most viewed and included in thematic collections and playlists. The author examines the myth-making components of the Internet space, characterizes formats and plots, identifies their authors, and studies the audience's reaction to the content. Data analysis showed that ethnic myth-making has a positive effect on the representation of the Chuvash culture. Despite some inaccuracies in the information, such material generally evokes positive emotions in users. Information in video and text format is published on popular Russian platforms, making ethno-myth-creating content accessible to a wide audience. The myths created by the authors reflect their desire to show the antiquity and significance of the Chuvash people, which helps the Chuvash people to understand their identity, place and role in the world. Ethno-myth-creating content on the Internet increases interest in the Chuvash culture, promoting its popularization and representation.

    Abstract:
    Актуальность проблематики представленной статьи определяется значимостью анализа вклада ключевых фигур в формирование и развитие юридической системы образования в Чувашской Республике в условиях социально-экономических и политических преобразований на рубеже XX и XXI веков. В этот период регион, как и вся страна, переживал значительные изменения, которые требовали адаптации юридической системы образования к новым условиям и вызовам, включая потребность в высококвалифицированных правовых специалистах. Исследование вклада выдающихся юристов региона в эти процессы помогает не только глубже понять механизмы развития юридического образования, но и выявить способы повышения его качества и доступности в современных условиях, а также способствует формированию стратегий дальнейшего развития профессионального сообщества.

  • Ritual functions of clothing in the memorial rites of the Chuvashs

    Research Article
    Ethnic Culture Volume 6 No 2
    Author:
    Igor G. Petrov
    Work direction:
    Ethnography, Ethnology and Anthropology
    Abstract:
    Clothes perform many functions functions. One of them is the ritual function, according to which it becomes an important tool or object of various magical practices. In this article, using the example of the сhuvashs of the Volga-Ural region, the functions of the deceased’s clothes in the customs and rituals of the memorial cycle are considered. On separate thematic blocks, the role of clothing as a ritual item at large commemorations, at the fortieth day commemoration, as well as at general summer commemorations was investigated. The article is based on published works on the history and ethnography of the chuvashs of the 19th – early 20th centuries, archival sources, as well as field materials of the author collected in different years in the Republic of Bashkortostan and the Republic of Tatarstan. It has been revealed that in the funeral rites, clothes appear and are actively used as a substitute for the deceased, as well as an offering addressed to the deceased on behalf of living relatives. Thanks to these qualities, clothing is one of the important and universal means of communication between the world of the living and the world of the dead. Rites with clothes in memorial rites have been preserved and exist in modern ritual practice. Such stability, on the one hand, is due to the deep archaic and conservative funeral rite as a whole, on the other hand, the comparative stability of this ritual to modern innovations.

    Эпоха советской этнографии: памяти доктора исторических наук, профессора П.В. Денисова
    Abstract:
    В статье рассмотрены научные исследования профессора П.В. Денисова, в которых представлено его видение этногенеза чувашей. Интерес к этой научной проблеме у него возник еще в годы учебы в Казанском университете, когда вопросы истории татар и чувашей приобрели особую актуальность в связи с принятием специального постановления ЦК ВКП(б) «О состоянии и мерах улучшения массово-политической и идеологической работы в Татарской партийной организации». К разработке вопросов этногенеза татар и чувашей были привлечены ведущие ученые страны. Благодаря тщательному анализу литературы, источников, полевых материалов, а также общению со своими учителями и коллегами, среди которых были Н.И. Воробьев, Н.В. Никольский, Е.П. Бусыгин, А.П. Смирнов, С.А. Токарев, Л.Н. Гумилев, В.Ф. Каховский, И.Д. Кузнецов и др., у П.В. Денисова сложилась твердая позиция по проблеме происхождения чувашского народа. В своих монографиях, научных и публицистических статьях он внес дополнительные аргументы в пользу булгаро-суварской теории. В разные периоды научной деятельности он испытывал влияние политических перемен, авторитетных мнений, что в той или иной форме нашло отражение в его публикациях, однако концепция булгаро-чувашской этнокультурной преемственности оставалась незыблемой. В современной историко-этнографической науке продолжают доминировать теоретические концепции происхождения чувашского народа, изложенные в концентрированном виде в его энциклопедических статьях.

    Народы Поволжья и Приуралья: традиции и новации межкультурного взаимодействия
    Abstract:
    В статье исследуются вопросы языческой религиозной жизни верховых чуваш до христианизации, показано устройство и деятельность Сорминскрой киремети, святым местом которого было киреметище, где проводились обряды моления и принятия жертвенных трапез. Киреметище находилось в лесу, севернее д. Актай Чувашско-Сорминской волости (ныне – на границах Аликовского и Моргаушского муниципального округов Чувашской Республики). Во второй половине XVIII века в связи с началом христианизации в чувашском крае, Сорминская киреметь была разрушена церковниками, а чуваши-язычники стали подвергаться преследованиям за поклонения языческим богам и киреметям. К настоящему времени в сорминском крае отголоски от язычества сохранились лишь в некоторых культовых обычаях и традициях.

  • Traditions of Chuvash and Kalmyck fairy tale epic

    Review Article
    Ethnic Culture Volume 5 No 3
    Author:
    Anton K. Salmin
    Work direction:
    Ethnography, Ethnology and Anthropology
    Abstract:
    The article is devoted to a long-term dispute about the peculiarity / non-property of the fairy tale genre of the typical features of the heroic epos. On the basis of the historical-typological method and the method of plot analysis, the corpus of texts of the Chuvash and Kalmyk fairy tale epic has been studied. The study considers the main works devoted to this problem, compares the relevant Chuvash texts with the Kalmyk fairytale epic, points to the incorporation of the biography and exploits of the fairytale hero in the heroic epic “Dzhangar”. The author also considers such blocks of heroic matchmaking as the childlessness of parents, a miraculous origin, heroic childhood and martial arts. All these motives are inherent in both the heroic tale and the heroic epic. The heroic traditions of the Chuvash and Kalmyk fairy tale epic are expressed in ethno-cultural realities, plot, epic motifs, and artistic devices. At the same time, researchers have no reason to talk about the complete identity of the ideological and artistic complex of the heroic epic and the heroic tale. The heroic epic and fairy tale are essentially differentiated genres. Here, one can speak as much as possible about the epic nature of heroic tales, about similarities and diffusion, but not about complete identity, and, naturally, there is no need to complete the magic-heroic tale to the classical epic. The publication contributes to the substantiation of the main features of the heroic epos in the heroic tale.

  • The rite seren in the Chuvash villages of the Republic of Bashkortostan: traditions and modern local features

    Research Article
    Ethnic Culture Volume 5 No 2
    Author:
    Igor G. Petrov
    Work direction:
    Ethnography, Ethnology and Anthropology
    Abstract:
    The article deals with the issues of modern existence of the cleansing rite of the spring cycle sĕren among the Chuvash living on the territory of the Republic of Bashkortostan. This topic has not yet become an object of scientific study, which determines the relevance of this work. The purpose of the study is to study the local features of the rite, as well as the processes of its transformation at the current stage, tasks – a brief analysis of the historiography of the issue in scientific literature, a general description of the essence and content of the ritual, its local manifestations in various areas of residence of the Chuvash, the role of the rite in modern ritual practice. The study was conducted using the principles of historicism, objectivity, consistency, specificity, as well as special methods of field ethnography – included observation and interviews. The work is based on the author’s field materials collected in 2002–2004, 2020, 2022 years in the Chuvash villages of the western, southwestern, central and southern regions of the republic. The results of the study showed that the seren rite has undergone significant changes in recent decades. In most settlements, he completely fell out of ritual life and remained in the memory of old-timers, in others he underwent reduction and decreased on a scale and continues his existence as a vital ritual. The latter is probably due to the stability of traditional religious ideas among the Chuvash of the region, which sometimes contribute to the situational reproduction of the rite in different rural communities.

    Review Article
    Ethnic Culture Volume 4 No 1
    Author:
    Albina Kiran
    Work direction:
    Ethnography, Ethnology and Anthropology
    Abstract:
    This article is devoted to the problem of maintaining and preserving the ethnic culture and language of the Chuvash living in Western Siberia. The purpose of the work is to initiate the beginning of linguistic and, in general, ethnographic studies of this diaspora group of the Chuvash people, the existence of which is an interesting scientific problem. The author mainly relies on the already published scientific developments of Siberian scientists. In fact, these studies are written in the genre of an essay. It provides information about the language, demographic situation, folklore and religion of the Chuvash of the specified region. Studies have shown that the Chuvash of the metropolis and Siberia retain many common features in traditions, customs, religious practice and culture. Their first generation tries to preserve the ethnic culture to the maximum extent possible. The new settlers, as a rule, speak the language and observe the traditional ritual and festive culture, while representatives of the Chuvash Republic often take a significant part in their life. Subsequent generations are more exposed to the processes of language shift and de-ethnization. Observations show that in order to maintain and preserve an ethnic culture, it is extremely important to recognize the need to maintain an ethnic language.

  • Training students of the College of Culture for a stage performance of the Chuvash folk dance

    Ethno-Cultural Problems of Education
    Abstract:
    Folk dance is an important tool in preparing students of the College of Culture for teaching as leaders of an amateur creative team. The content of their training includes the choreographic creativity of different peoples. The purpose of the article is to determine the necessary and sufficient minimum knowledge about the specific features of the Chuvash national choreography so that students can use this knowledge to implement choreographic productions, improve performing techniques and embody the manner of performing the Chuvash folk dance. The material of the research was the author's long-term observations of the Chuvash folk choreography, passed through personal experience of staging dances for the professional stage. The work is based on the description method and in general is of a review nature. Folk dance is the most expressive layer of the Chuvash culture. It contains a significant potential necessary to maintain the vital properties of the Chuvash ethnos. In particular, it has unique ethnic features and only in some cases allows borrowing from other peoples. In general, the Chuvash dance in movements repeats the aesthetics of national embroidery. Important properties in the Chuvash dance are endowed with hands: women's movements are extremely smooth and slow, men's are sharp and fast. The position of the hands, combined with the movement of the legs and the body as a whole, create a unique ethnic flavor. Chuvash dances have dialectal differences according to ethnographic groups, while they are based on a single complex, historically dating back to rituals and ceremonies.
