NATIONAL-BOLSHEVISM So, the “nation”, taken as a metaphysical category is not identified with the concrete individuals` multitude of the same blood, culture and speaking the same language, but with the mysterious angelic personality, showing itself throughout all the history. In that case “nation” was interpreted in the analogous way to how the concept “narod” (people, nation) was interpreted by Russian narodniks, that is, like some organic, whole being, in essence not yielding to any anatomical subdivision, having its own specific fate and unique structure. Almost immediately after the revolution the term “bolshevism” has lost it’s limited meaning and has become to be perceived as a synonym for the “majority”, “all-national policy”, “national integration” (“bolshevik” can be approximately translated from Russian as a ‘representative of the majority’). www.arctogaia.com /public/eng-teor.htm

Category II - Fall 2002 On the other hand, the interaction of agriculture, traditionally dominant in Russia, with westernized city culture, resulted in the phenomenon of twentieth-century Russian communism, the combination of folk beliefs and modern philosophy In particular, the unique combination of local democracy, tracing back to Middle Ages (Novgorod), and state totalitarianism, having reached its peak in the Soviet time (Stalin), diverted Russian creative forces from politics; instead, Russian writers and painters explored Russian society on the small scale, creating a highly original version of nineteenth-century European realism. Then we will explore the concepts, linking Russian civilizational background with its cultural representation (Alexander Drankov's movie Fish Factory in Astrakhan, Alexander Pushkin's The Tale of Fisherman and the Golden Fish and The Water-Nymph; Alexander Dovzhenko's movie of the same name). www.usc.edu /dept/LAS/general_studies/GE/archive/fall02/category2.html   (2382 words)

L-I: Re:antichrist among us The influential publicistic writings of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and the historio-ethnographic treatises of Lev Gumilev (1912-90) can be placed in this category insofar as they concern general philosophical issues, such as the relation between culture and nation, collective responsibility and guilt, biological energy and the moral patterns of ethnic groups. The other promoted by Aleksandr Dugin is radical traditionalism, proclaiming the restoration of a paganist, esoteric legacy and the unification of Eurasia into one Empire under Russian guidance with the aim of waging spiritual war on the secularized and materialist West. One presented by Viktor Aksiuchits is moderate conservatism, claiming the timeless values of Orthodox Christianity as a specifically Russian legacy destined to introduce the spirit of national reconciliation into a society torn apart by militant pluralism and partisanship. lists.econ.utah.edu /pipermail/leninist-international/2000-March/006616.html   (1631 words)

American Association of Teachers Peterson traces the comparable quests of Russian and African American writers -- themselves members of the Westernized elites within their respective native cultures -- to convey the nation's "soul," as embodied by the oral culture of the enslaved and illiterate masses, and thereby to assert cultural significance in opposition to the European West's dismissive assessment. Peterson has made a generous gift to both Russian and African American literary studies in opening this rich field for sustained study, and fellow scholars will surely be inspired by his example to undertake similarly bold synthesizing projects. At a time when economic and business ties between Russia and the West are on the rise, this site provides a valuable contribution to an important area of Russian language pedagogy. aatseel.org /BookAwardsCitations.htm   (2600 words)

Russia, Poland, Belorussia and the like: Nordic or Slavic countries? [Archive] - Stormfront White Nationalist Community The nations on this forum are, amongst other profound reasons, united by their culture and mentality, a geographic vicinity and a common North European lifestyle and world view. Nordid phenotype was present in Northern Slavic nations from beginning, it is no a result of Germanic admixture, which by it self is a culture not an Ethnicity. But no doubt these people are slavic not of the nordic category, but also at the same time to ask such a question you must analyse the history and ask more numerous questions into it. www.stormfront.org /archive/t-137811Russia,_Poland,_Belorussia_and_the_like:_Nordic_or_Slavic_countries?.html   (2600 words)

Promoting Veps' Culture in Karelia While in practice Veps became a ‘small-numbered people’, they were not included in the official list of ‘small-numbered people of the north’ (applied to groups residing in the North, Siberia and the Far East of the Russian Federation) and thus did not benefit for the special allocations granted to this category. Despite these measures and the establishment of a national territorial autonomy, the dire conditions of widespread social and economic crisis hitting the Russian federation as a whole and also the republic of Karelia did not allow for an immediate improvement of the living conditions of the Vepsian communities. The Veps are a Finno-Ugric minority, settled mainly on the southern coast of the Onega lake. www.cemes.org /current/LGI/158-eng.htm   (1299 words)

Kazakh Although Kazakh has a well developed tradition of oral poetry, it was not written until the middle of the 19th century when Russians, who ruled the Kazakhs since the 18th century, started to settle the nomadic Kazakhs and to russify their culture and language. Kazakh is considered to be a Category II language in terms of difficulty for speakers of English. Until 1929, Kazakh was written with the Arabic script; from 1929 to 1940 it was written with the Roman script; and from 1940 on with a modified version of the Cyrillic alphabet that consists of the standard Russian letters plus additional symbols to represent Kazakh sounds. www.nvtc.gov /lotw/months/march/Kazakh.html   (614 words)

Estonian Under Soviet rule, however, Russian was declared the official language, and systematic, albeit unsuccessful attempts were made to suppress the Estonian language and culture.

Category talk:Russian films - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia And Potemkin is shot by Mosfilm, i.e., it is a Russian one (and a soviet as well). And I don't buy this idiotic accusation in "nationalism": culture is a national trait, not a political one. It took me a while to understand, and perhaps part of the problem is that the distinctions between the different categories are not very clear. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Category_talk:Russian_films   (1179 words)

RICHARD K. EMMERSON The Secret The American Historical Review, 104.5 The History Cooperative David G. Rowley's analysis of millenarianism is misled by reliance on Cohn; it is simply not the case, for example, that after Augustine "literal belief in an imminent apocalypse appeared only in movements that deviated sharply from mainstream culture"; Rowley, "'Redeemer Empire': Russian Millenarianism," AHR 104 (December 1999): 1582–1602, 1586. He insightfully asks, "Do religious and secular expressions of the millenarian vision really express the same idea?" a question Juster should address in her attempt to place both republican male political traditions and "mystical" female prophetic traditions under the category of millenarianism. Millenarianism is a specific form of apocalypticism, because strictly speaking it is related to the apocalyptic millennium and, more generally, it is associated with the Last Days and often with the violent and sudden overthrow of the powers and authorities that control the present era. www.historycooperative.org /journals/ahr/104.5/ah001603.html   (4906 words)

languagehat.com: CHINESE SWEARING. The problem with general (national-level) swearing studies is that the "default insult" doesn't say much about one's culture if you don't conflate it with the other swearing alternatives specific speakers may have in mind. In Arabic "koss ummak", in Russian "yob tvoyu mat'", in Italian "figlio di puttana" (which insults your mother indirectly, as does the very common Anglo-American "son of a bitch") are all extremely common. But examples of the first category from other languages would be interesting. www.languagehat.com /archives/001999.php   (3545 words)
