Abstract

This article examines various aspects of identities conveyed by urban populations, factors of transformation and development of urban spaces, and historical memory as tools for the socialization, stratification, and integration of a polyethnic society in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). The empirical base of the study is a variety of material, including a questionnaire survey of the urban population of Yakutia, spontaneous polls, and in-depth expert interviews. The novelty is the research strategy itself, aimed at identifying all the listed actors through the prism of symbolic representations. The study of the symbolic value of the northern cities of Yakutia as informational and cultural spaces, understanding the heritage as a certain mediative mental-material cultural layer with symbolic codes and texts, provides key registers for considering the fundamental problems of the spatial and socio-cultural development of territories in general. The results of the study show that the political identity of the population of Yakutia has been formed according to the historical memory of the Soviet past. A trend towards positioning the region as “northern” or “arctic” has emerged in recent years, which also depends on government policy in the Arctic.
城市人口身份与象征价值
本文考察了萨哈共和国(雅库特)多民族社会社会化、分层和整合的历史记忆,以及城市人口所传达的身份认同的各个方面,城市空间的转型和发展因素。本研究的实证基础是多种材料,包括对雅库特城市人口的问卷调查、自发的民意调查和深入的专家访谈。新颖之处在于研究策略本身,旨在通过符号表征的棱镜识别所有列出的行动者。对雅库特北部城市作为信息和文化空间的象征价值的研究,将遗产理解为具有象征代码和文本的某种中介精神物质文化层,为考虑总体领土空间和社会文化发展的基本问题提供了关键登记册。研究结果表明,雅库特人口的政治认同是根据苏联过去的历史记忆形成的。近年来出现了将该地区定位为“北方”或“北极”的趋势,这也取决于政府在北极的政策。
