The article focuses on the virtual public space created in Siberian Indigenous villages via WhatsApp chats and radio communication. These media are breaking boundaries and are creating a unique space for communication. I explore how these media form virtual public space and how they change everyday practices. Both practices create new public space, essential in the context of a lack of real public space.

The article examines the main sources of contradictions in relations between communities of Indigenous peoples and economic agents in the Yugra homeland. Based on analysis of individual cases, conclusions highlight involvement of new actors, public associations and nongovernmental organizations in processes termed conflictogenesis. Conclusions emphasize increasing need to expand practices of social partnership to resolve contradictions. A significant role for ethnological expert review is suggested in settling conflicts.

The article researches the issue of female circumcision in the North Caucasus. It presents an analysis of sociological research conducted in the republics of the North Caucasus, in particular Dagestan. The principal hypothesis for the research was the premise that the perpetuation of female circumcision among the indigenous population of Dagestan was driven by the concealed nature of the tradition and the closed nature of the society, as well as by the growing significance of religion.

The article analyzes forms of vernacular response to the economic sanctions against Russia introduced in 2014. Reactions, expressed in verbal and visual texts, differ by the degree to which participants are involved—from a clichéd individual expression to a collective event—and by the level of symbolic aggression embedded in them. In the course of 2014–15, a shift is observed from speech clichés not addressed to the opponent directly to more aggressive texts and practices. This shift is connected with the loss of popularity of earlier forms of vernacular reaction to the sanctions and the situation stemming from them.

In Uzbek families, marriages are endogamous; people marry within specific social groups or social units and marriages are arranged between families. The ideal marriage is made within their kinship system (oz jak) or among members of the kin group. The events of 2010 in Osh has changed the composition of Uzbek marriage patterns due to fear of rape, humiliation, and disgrace. The main argument of this paper is that the endogamous marriages of Uzbeks have been stretched to a wider Uzbek ethnic group. This means that Uzbek families started searching for a match with outsiders (zhat jak) living within short distances and long distances. Marrying outside of a kin group and village have become possible. As a coping strategy, the whole Uzbek ethnic group in Kyrgyzstan became in consequence a larger strong solidarity unit of kin alliances by accepting non-relatives as marriage partners.

What new anthropological perspectives on migration are being opened as a result of the current economic crisis in Russia and the recent changes in migration policies that have forced migrants to return en masse to the countries of their origin? Today, the intent to return is built into the strategies of Central Asian migrants and most of them think of eventually coming back and use occasional opportunities for traveling to their home countries every once in a while. I discuss various models of circular cross-border mobility (long-term, seasonal, rotational) as well as practices ensuing from the migrants’ state of deportability, factors affecting their preparedness for return, and their sense of nostalgia for the transnational migrant life. I argue that the post-Soviet space is in dynamic sync with recurrent economic rises and falls, contributing to a sense of uncertainty that may mean that migrations will keep unfolding in changing patterns following abrupt turns in the social life of the past and current decades.

The history of ideas and conceptualizations formed over the past fifty years and more in the study of the Late Neolithic of the south of Russia’s Far East (Primor’e) is examined. According to predominant views, Primor’e’s Late Neolithic is represented by sites of one archeological culture—the Zaisan. However, the large number of excavated sites, the vivid and diverse archeological material, and differences in methodological and theoretical approaches used by researchers in interpreting the complexes studied has led to numerous treatments of the concept of a “Zaisan archeological culture.” The authors here view the history of the ideas and concepts in the study of the Zaisan culture as one method of scholarly reflection. Such an approach allows the essence and logic of opinion differences among researchers to be determined. Focus is on questions discussed in the scholarly community, permitting the most important and promising problems for further study to be identified.

The emergence of pottery in East Asia manifests in the early Neolithic, occurring during the Late Glacial [ranging 15,000–10,000 radiocarbon years ago (BP)], in three regions: 1) the Japanese Islands; 2) the Amur River basin; and 3) Southern China. As ceramics from these three centers are quite different, they probably appeared in these regions independently yet approximately at the same time, c. 14,000–13,000 [years] BP (c. 17,000–14,500 calendar years ago). This is the oldest pottery in the Old World found so far. Earlier dates from several Neolithic sites in southern China, Xianrendong, Miaoyan, and Yuchanyan (c. 15,000 [years] BP) need to be confirmed. Using radiocarbon and paleoenvironmental data, it has been established that pottery-making technology appeared before the rapid and sharp climatic changes of the Late Glacial, such as the Older Dryas cooling and the Bølling warming. The general natural background for the emergence of pottery in East Asia was a gradual warming and an increase of broadleaved tree species, with abundant nut and seed resources. The earliest ceramic vessels in Japan and the Amur River basin were used mainly for cooking vegetable and meat foods, and possibly for processing fish.
