Lecture | Galvanizing Nostalgia? Indigenous Siberians in the Context of War (in-person and online)

Wednesday, March 8, 2023, 12:00 pm

Free

Russia has entered a new period of instability, made especially precarious due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. This talk builds on and updates Marjorie Mandelstam Balzer's recently published monograph Galvanizing Nostalgia? Indigeneity and Sovereignty in Siberia. It explores critical questions for the survival of Russia in its nominally federal form. Will Russia fall apart along the lines of its internal republics, as did the Soviet Union? Why have non-Russians been mobilized in numbers higher than their ethnic proportions? Are non-Russian peoples of Turkic and Mongolian backgrounds, far from Moscow, protesting? From the Arctic to Lake Baikal and the magnificent Altai mountains, Indigenous peoples are striving for degrees of self-determination. Despite curtailment of civil society under President Putin, many are defending their lands and rights without being secessionist. Some have fled into exile and formed politicized diasporas. Based on cultural anthropology research featuring major republics of Eastern Siberia– Sakha (Yakutia), Buryatia and Tyva (Tuva) — this talk highlights Indigenous concerns.
