Abstract

Introduction.The article analyzes the issues of demographic development, identity, and social dynamics among Russians on the basis of the field materials collected in the Republic of Uzbekistan in the period from 2011 to 2019. Methods and materials. Based on historical and anthropological approaches, the article proves that the term “Russians” in the context of Uzbekistan should be considered without ethnicization; Russian people in the Republic can’t be analyzed as a homogeneous ethnic group. It was revealed that the alternative denominations for this group are such terms as “Russian speaking” and “Europeans,” including the descendants of migrants to Central Asia during the time of the Russian Empire and the Soviet period. Analysis. It was proved that the demographic activities of Russian speaking ethnic groups (Russian Ukrainians, Tartars, and Koreans) in the Republic of Uzbekistan in the period from 1991 to 2021 are gradually decreasing. It was revealed that the dominant features of the social dynamics of Russian people in the period of sovereignty were: the loss of special legal and “symbolic” status; the realization of minority status; and dependence on state policy in the national sphere. Results. Russian people in Uzbekistan preserve “European” social-cultural identity and emphasize the borders with the national identity of the indigenous population of the region. During the period under research, the complex and diverse identity of the Russian population, including local and regional identity, has become stronger. The narrowing of the socio-economic profile of Russians in the cities of the Republic of Uzbekistan becomes a conspicuous phenomenon.
乌兹别克斯坦共和国的俄罗斯人:人口、身份和社会动态
介绍。本文基于2011年至2019年在乌兹别克斯坦共和国收集的实地资料,分析了俄罗斯人的人口发展、身份和社会动态问题。方法和材料。本文从历史学和人类学的角度出发,论证了在乌兹别克斯坦语境中,“俄罗斯人”一词不应被民族化;共和国的俄罗斯人不能被分析为一个同质的族群。据透露,这一群体的替代名称是“说俄语的”和“欧洲人”,包括俄罗斯帝国和苏联时期移民到中亚的后裔。分析。事实证明,1991年至2021年期间,乌兹别克斯坦境内讲俄语的民族(俄系乌克兰人、鞑靼人和朝鲜族)的人口活动正在逐渐减少。结果表明,主权时期俄罗斯人民社会动态的主要特征是:失去了特殊的法律和“象征”地位;少数民族地位的实现;以及在国家范围内对国家政策的依赖。结果。乌兹别克斯坦的俄罗斯人保持“欧洲”社会文化认同,并强调边界与该地区土著居民的民族认同。在研究期间,俄罗斯人口的复杂和多样的认同,包括地方和区域认同,变得更加强烈。在乌兹别克斯坦共和国的城市里,俄罗斯人社会经济地位的缩小成为一个明显的现象。
