Unknown chapters of the Volga-Kama historiography: Kapiton Mil'kovich

The paper deals with one of the most crucial issues in the Volga-Kama historiography: introduction of previously unused and forgotten materials related to the description of archaeological sites of the late 18th – early 19th centuries. This element of the late-19th century regional historiography is marked by the absence of such archaeological resources. The manuscript by Kapiton Mil'kovich, state councilor and forestry surveyor, is a vivid example of this. In the course of her study, it can be concluded that Kapiton Mil'kovich was the first to describe a significant part of the archaeological sites of Kazan Province. However the work of Sergey Shpilevskiy, known in Russian historiography as Ancient Cities and other Bulghar-Tatar Monuments in Kazan Province did not mention the name of Kapiton Mil'kovich, and the archaeological sites discovered by him in Chistopol district were attributed to Aleksandr Artemyev, the later researcher. The manuscript, found by us in St. Petersburg National Library of Russia, was analysed and published, and it indicates the importance of the need to correct this historiographical gap, and include the name of the outstanding researcher in the annals of the Volga-Kama historiography.

THE CROAT-BOSNIAK WAR: THE SELECT FINDINGS OF THE RECENT REGIONAL HISTORIOGRAPHY

The Croat-Bosniak war is one of the least researched episodes of the Bosnian war. I reviewed the recent works of two regional authors who had access to original war records of the Bosnian Croats and the Bosniaks and then compared their findings with some of the representative views of secondary literature. Among other things, I focused on the Vance-Owen peace plan and the initial hostilities in the central Bosnian municipalities. My chief conclusion is that the importance placed on the Vance-Owen peace plan in secondary literature is misleading as it ignores the local military and political dynamics.

Simono Daukanto BUDĄ Senowęs-Letuwiu Kalnienu ĩr Ƶamajtiu (1845) šaltiniai

SOURCES OF SIMONAS DAUKANTAS’S BUDĄ SENOWĘS-LËTUWIÛ KALNIENÛ ĨR ƵÁMAJTIÛ (1845) The article investigates Simonas Daukantas’s (1793–1864) BUDĄ Senowęs-Lëtuwiû Kalnienû ĩr Ƶámajtiû (The Character of the Lithuanian Highlanders and Samogitians of the Old Times, 1845; hereafter Bd) with regards to genre, origin of the title, and the dominant German sources of the work. It claims that Daukantas conceived Bd because he understood that the future of Lithuania is closely related to its past. A single, united version of Lithuanian history, accepted by the whole nation, was necessary for the development of Lithuanian national identity and collective feeling. The history, which up until then had not been published in Lithuanian, could have helped to create the contours of a new society by presenting the paradigmatic events of the past. The collective awareness of the difference between the present and the past (and future) should have given the Lithuanian community an incentive to move forward. Daukantas wrote Bd quickly, between 1842 and May 28, 1844, because he drew on his previous work ISTORYJE ƵEMAYTYSZKA (History of the Lithuanian Lowlands, ~1831–1834; IƵ). Based on the findings of previous researchers of Daukantas’s works, after studying the dominant sources of Bd and examining their nature, this article comes to the conclusion that the work has features of both cultural history and regional historiography. The graphically highlighted form of the word “BUDĄ” used in the work’s title should be considered the author’s code. Daukantas, influenced by the newest culturological research and comparative linguistics of the 18th–19th centuries, propagated that Lithuanians originate from India and, like many others, found evidence of this in the Lithuanian language and culture. He considered the Budini (Greek Βουδίνοι), who are associated with the followers of Buddha, to be Lithuanian ancestors. He found proof of this claim in the language and chose the word “būdas” (character), which evokes aforementioned associations, to express the idea of the work.

Circassian Mejlis (1861-1863): Methodological Aspects of Ethnosocial Research

The article is devoted to the study of the "Circassian Mejlis" (1861-1863). This social institution "Circassian Mejlis" in regional historiography is considered as a representative body of power of the subethnos of the Adygs (Ubykhs, Shapsugs and others) - the autochthonous population of the Black Sea coast of the 19th century. A scientific criticism of the concepts presented in regional historiography and the Internet, in which the Mejlis is considered as a state authority, is given. Based on the structural-functional and comparative analysis of historiographic sources, facts and judgments about the reasons for the formation, structure and functions of this social institution are generalized. The signs of ethnosocial and axiological approaches to the analysis of ethnopotestary processes in the border zones of southern Russia at the end of the 19th century are revealed. It is noted that the content of the administrative-territorial and social reform proposed by the Majlis is of high importance in the ethnic history of the Adyghe sub-ethnic groups of the Western Caucasus as one of the stages in the formation of institutions of state power. The possibilities of integrating social institutions formed by subethnos of the Western Caucasus into the structure of the Russian Empire and the Ottoman Port in the middle of the 19th century are considered. The focus is on the genesis of the Mejlis as a social institution was a vivid indicator of the processes of ethnopoliti-cal consolidation that determined the specifics of regional national and confessional policy in the transboundary zone of southern Russia during the imperial period.

Мемориализация участников Великой Отечественной войны в книгах памяти районов и сел Калмыкии

The article gives the analysis of the memorialization process of the residents of the Kalmyk ASSR — the participants of the Great Patriotic War 1941–1945 in the memorial books of the regions and villages of Kalmykia. Nowadays, in the regional historiography there are memorial books of the four regions (Priyutnenskiy, Tselinniy, Yashkulskiy and Chernozemelskiy) and the three village municipal units (Chilgir, Erdnievskiy and Artezian). These publications have different annotated and non-annotated lists of the participants of the 1941–1945 war from the respective regions and villages. These lists have varying degrees of informational content, but the lists that have been methodically and conscientiously complied for a long time cover most of the persons they were looking for. Nevertheless, the task of complete memorialization of our fellow countrymen who participated in the Great Patriotic War of 1941–1945 remains unresolved to this day.
