Turko-mongol motifs and symbols in M. Veller’s «Altai» prose
Abstract
The image of Altai in Russian literature of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is multifaceted and contradictory. The popular contemporary Russian writer and publicist M. Weller (b.1948) has contributed to the formation of Altai’s image in Russian literature. The author analyzes Weller’s stories that were written on the basis of impressions from his stay in Altai in 1976, “The Horse for One Pass” (1983) and “We Will Not Go to Lake Ishtugol” (1988). These concern the customs and everyday life of cattle rangers leading a flock of sheep from Mongolia to Biisk. Weller depicts the culminating episode of “We Will Not Go to Lake Ishtugol,” the duel between Siverin and the red-haired Mongol horse, in epic, mythological terms, as a duel between the Man and Tulpar, the mythical horse of the Turks. The dressage of a horse in the story “The Horse for One Pass” is seen as an embodiment of the ancient Turkic motif of “kut-guch,” the exchange of vitality between a person and a horse as a symbol of spiritual improvement. The article thus contributes to a better understanding of the “Altai” topos in Russian literature.



Understanding the symbolic language of the Mordva ethno-cultural heritage: Nikolai Riabov’sethno-futuristic art
Abstract
In this article, the author focuses on the problem of preserving traditional ethnic culture and believes that the continued existence of national traditions can ensure the existence of cultural diversity. The author analyzes Ethnofuturism in the Republic of Mordovia as one of its trends in modern art. The views of scholars from different national republics of the Russian Federation (E. Kolcheva, V. Sviatogorov, V. Shibanov, M. Ukolova, etc.) are summarized as well as those of Mordovian researchers and art historians (O. Belomoeva, N. Voronina, I. Lapteva, A. Runkova, I. Sirotina, V. Yurchenkov, etc.). The article considers the relevance of Ethnofuturism for modern culture on the basis of works by the Mordovian artist Nikolai Riabov, a practicing artist who explores problems of Mordvian traditional culture and their iconic embodiment in his own works of art. The author concludes that ethno-symbolic trends - the combination of new forms and ethnic symbols in modern art - enable modern viewers: 1) to immerse themselves in the historical past and comprehend the symbolic language of ethnic culture; 2) to discover new perspectives on ethnocultural design, transforming their understanding of traditional images.
