Altai refers to the Altai Republic in the Russian Federation, located in South Siberia. Altaians - the common name of a kind of historically formed union of six autochthonous Turkic-speaking ethnic groups. Altai folklore is the traditional beliefs, customs, and stories of a community, passed through the generations by word of mouth Altai people. Altai folk tales are life stories that reflect the traditions, belief systems, religions, and cosmic views of the peoples who have lived around the Altai Mountains since ancient times. Altai folk tales have similar themes or modified contents found in other regions and peoples, but reflect the uniqueness of the Altai peoples and culture. In Altai folktale texts, color words that symbolically express the main character and surrounding objects, as well as names of people and numbers using color words, are found. These vocabularies are linearly combined with other vocabularies and function as text components unique to narrative texts.","PeriodicalId":431674,"journal":{"name":"Institute for Russian and Altaic Studies Chungbuk University","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116680610","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It specifically intends to argue against the view of A. Etkind, who understands “another freedom” as equivalent to Isaiah Berlin's “negative freedom.” Whether Etkind's view is valid is examined in the context of the debate over Berlin's theory of freedom in modern political philosophy. Pushkin, who belongs to liberals, shares with Berlin the position of anti-rationalism and anti-utopianism. Modern republican critique of Berlin's liberal view of freedom can also be applied to Pushkin's political ideal of “enlightened despotism” in his later years. As such, there are several valid reasons to regard Pushkin's “another freedom” as the same paradigm as Berlin's “negative freedom.” However, Pushkin's position is different from Berlin's value pluralism. Pushkin's “another freedom” is not limited to “negative freedom.” In Pushkin's poem, both ‘autonomy’ and ‘authenticity’ of “positive freedom” are embodied. In a strict sense, Pushkin's “another freedom” differs from Western liberals' understanding of freedom. “Another freedom” that Pushkin wants is ‘anarchist individualism’ in its essence. The fundamentally different attributes of Pushkin's “another freedom” and Berlin's “negative freedom” in pursuit of the universal ideal of freedom of private life raise the issue of cultural differences in understanding the concept of freedom, which will be discussed in another study.","PeriodicalId":431674,"journal":{"name":"Institute for Russian and Altaic Studies Chungbuk University","volume":"415 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115982938","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

First, the first printed newspaper in Russia, Peter's Vedomosti (PV) in the early 18th century and Moscow Vedomosti(MV) in the mid-19th century are compared and analyzed and the differences in newspaper language before and after the formation of a journalistic style, i.e., linguistic distinguishing characteristics between PV and MV, are clearly presented in the aspect of journalistic style. This study on journalistic style as one of the functional styles of literary language will lead to further research on media language beyond the framework of modern Russian literary language and on the correlation between media language, journalism style, and literary language.","PeriodicalId":431674,"journal":{"name":"Institute for Russian and Altaic Studies Chungbuk University","volume":"53 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115773737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

By introducing the system, the country shifted from the previous government-led medical insurance system that had originated from the era of the former Soviet Union to that in the “social insurance format.” Under the new system, every citizen pays health insurance premiums and bears the collective responsibility for public health. The process of introducing the System was quite abrupt, which was possible because Kazakhstan is an authoritative nation where the president of the country exerts enormous power. In this regard, this study alters and modifies Kingdon's multiple streams framework model, which is useful for analyzing such an abrupt process of policy change by period, and applies the revised version as the analysis framework. The analysis period was classified into three periods based on the national mood, the presence and direction of policies, etc. In addition, the intensity of the three streams(problems, politics and policies), and the extent of the policy entrepreneur’s role were set as the specific components of the analytical framework. As a result of the analysis, the policy change succeeds in the third period(Jan. 2014-Jan.2020). The results confirmed that when the aforementioned model is applied, policy entrepreneurs played the most important role in the policy change process in Kazakhstan for the introduction of the compulsory social health insurance system. Nazarbayev, a policy entrepreneur, first recognized the necessity of improving the public health budget indicators, which had been deteriorating since 2010, from the perspective of the flow of policy problems. Based on his realization, Nazarbayev tried to strengthen the country's financial soundness by resolving the identified policy problems and further, he intended to achieve the advancement and modernization of the country. Aggressive and enthusiastic efforts and firm and decisive willingness of the policy entrepreneur finally led to the successful policy change. Consequently, the System was established and implemented nationwide in Kazakhstan from January 2020, starting with partial implementation in July 2017.","PeriodicalId":431674,"journal":{"name":"Institute for Russian and Altaic Studies Chungbuk University","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114066478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

He has spent 8 years in a Soviet concentration camp(Gulag) and is currently in his 9th year. Shukhov is having a hard time fulfilling the given amount of work every day in the harsh cold weather and harsh environment. Most of the prisoners in the camp were classified as political prisoners, but in fact they were innocent people. Shukhov was also accused of treason and classified as a political criminal, but he too was only a victim of Stalin's violent policies. What is the strength that keeps Shukhov enduring life in the camp despite the harsh environment? In this article, we analyzed the theme of ‘Gulag and survival’. First, we looked at the Gulag in the Soviet Union. And we analyzed the prisoner characters including Shukhov held there. The Soviet Gulag originated from the Siberian exile in the 16th centry, and most of the prisoners in the 19th centry were ordinary criminals. Even in Soviet concentration camps(Gulag), political prisoners accounted for only 20% of all prisoners. However, most of the prisoners in the novel “One Day in the life of Ivan Denisovich” were set as political prisoners. This seems to be Solzhenitsyn's intentional character setting. It was a way to emphasize the misguided policy of the Soviet Union. Shukhov and Baptist Alyoshka have a conversation about the Russian church and faith at the end of the novel, and here we learn that Shukhov's will to survive in the Gulag was very strong. That is, he has a clear purpose for survival. Also, although his faith was weak, it was confirmed that he had faith as a Russian Orthodox Christian.","PeriodicalId":431674,"journal":{"name":"Institute for Russian and Altaic Studies Chungbuk University","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116321206","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It should be borne in mind that this film, which depicts the Holocaust and the life of Jewish exiles by a Jewish director, represents an inevitable connection and politics that cannot be separated from the director's life and worldview in any form of production process, story, and theme. In the beginning, the main protagonist of this film seems to be Jonathan, an American who visited Ukraine, but as the story develops, the person portrayed as important as, or even more important than, Jonathan is Alexander's grandfather. The memories and traditions of the two families, which transcend borders and last three generations, combined with the film's cyclical structure, show that it is impossible to disappear and be forgotten, and that they repeat forever, penetrating the past, present, and future. The film shows the life of an independent Ukraine and Ukrainian citizens like a landscape, and indirectly presents the oppression and massacre of Jews by Ukrainian nationalists and the Soviet government hidden behind the Nazi Holocaust. Although this film about the massacre of Jews in Ukraine in the 1940s was made in the 2000s, it is being recalled these days during the Russo-Ukrainian War. This can be said to show the historical common idea that the historical events of that time are still ongoing.","PeriodicalId":431674,"journal":{"name":"Institute for Russian and Altaic Studies Chungbuk University","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125881226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Nivh are an indigenous people group in the lower Amur River and on the island of Sakhalin. For the Nivh people, the idea that the universe is a three-tiered world of upper world tli, middle mif, and lower mlibo, and each world is divided into multiple layers, is most widely spread. In particular, the relay is divided into three worlds: the world of the mountain-taiga, the world of the sea, and the world where the Nivh people live. In general, the concept of a middle ground developed among the Nivh people, but the idea of the upper and lower worlds was not very developed. However, in the Nivh concept, these worlds are independent but interpenetrating relationships, and each world influences the other world according to its rules and rules of conduct. \u0000At the root of the traditional beliefs of the Nivh people lies the animism that all things in the universe, including humans, have souls. According to the concept of the Nivh people, the human soul is in the form of a bird. During life, the bird's nature is hidden by the body, but after cremation, it is separated from the body and freed, regaining its original animal nature. The Nivh concept of the number of human souls is very unclear and fluid. The notion that the human soul has one tan or one tehn is universal, and tan and tehn originate from t'ad- (breathe, breathe/ nivh). The core of the Nivh view of the soul is immortality through reincarnation, and the birth of a child is due to the reincarnation of an ancestor spirit.","PeriodicalId":431674,"journal":{"name":"Institute for Russian and Altaic Studies Chungbuk University","volume":"91 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127149589","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author analyses two works of M.A. Bulgakov, created and completed after visiting to his hometown of Kyiv in 1923, the sketch “Kiev-gorod” and the novel “The White Guard”. To this end, at first, we examined the research history and research trends of “Kiev text” in Russian literature , and revealed the characteristics of “Kiev text”. \u0000We also saw that in “Kiev-gorod” and “The White Guard” the figure of Kyiv is depicted in ‘history’ as the image of falling Babylon, in the memory of the lyrical self and in Alexei’s dream as the image of the heavenly Jerusalem. \u0000As such, the myth of the confrontation between these two cities is the basis of Bulgakov's “Kiev text”.
