At the end of May 2013, several trees were cut down in Gezi Park (Istanbul) to construct a building in the spirit of the old Ottoman barracks, which was to become a shopping center. Several dozen environmental activists tried to protect the park, but the city police brutally dispersed the peaceful camp. After that, the local protest reached a completely different level and grew into a campaign that engulfed the entire country. After these protests part of the population was de facto declared second-class: the head of the Turkish state and the ruling party began to place a very strong emphasis on the Muslim / non-Muslim dichotomy, dividing people at his own discretion and implying, by Muslims, first, practicing Muslims loyal to him. The research is based on my interviews with protesters in Gezi Park and observations in the Beyoglu area during the June 2013 unrest. Most of the respondents lived there in tents after the first dispersal on May 29, 2013, until the second dispersal and closure of the park (and the adjacent Taksim Square) on the night of June 15–16, 2013 The author himself came to Istanbul on June 13 and personally witnessed second acceleration. In this article, are cited quotes from respondents and offered author’s own interpretations of the reasons for the protests associated with the assertion of status domination (according to James Scott).

Taliban Movement’s second coming to power in Afghanistan in the summer of 2021 revives interest in the Pashtuns, who make up most supporters and participants of the organization which is banned in Russia. However, this does not mean that there are no representatives of other ethnic groups among the ordinary participants of the movement and even its leaders. These facts are well reflected in a catch phrase “not all Pashtuns are Talibs, but almost all the Talibs are Pashtuns.” The problem of the Pashtuns, who have so far preserved a generally tribal structure, is complicated as they live not only in Afghanistan, but also in Pakistan. Moreover, in the first country they make up almost half of the population, while in the second — a minority, although the largest one. In addition, the number of Pakistani Pashtuns, who also, as a rule, identify themselves with tribes, and are still maintaining tribal traditions in the mountainous regions, is at least twice as large as the number of Pashtuns in Afghanistan. Based on these arguments, it is obvious that the topic raised in the article is of considerable importance for assessing the current situation in the two neighboring states and the prospects for its change.

The review covers the proceedings of the 1st Congress of Russian Association of Researchers of the Himalaya and Tibet held in November 2021 in Saint-Petersburg. The Association was founded on 5 March 2019 and aims to bring together the research work of experts engaged in the study of nature and culture of the Himalayan region and the Tibetan Plateau. The Congress hosted the interdisciplinary academic conference “Russian Studies on the Himalaya and Tibet — 2021: Nature and Culture”. The total number of its participants and guests exceeded 60 academics representing research centers and educational institutions of different cities of Russia (i.e. Saint-Petersburg, Moscow, Krasnodar, Saratov, Elista, Orenburg, Arkhangelsk, Magadan), as well as of Belorussia, Uzbekistan and India. Sessions of the conference took place at the headquarters of the Russian Geographical Society, in the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and in the Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (the Kunstkamera). More than 30 live and online talks presented at the Conference addressed a wide range of issues relating to both the humanities (art history, religious studies, history of philosophy, ethnography, linguistics) and natural sciences (botany, zoology, genetics, physical geography, geomorphology, glaciology). Several presentations dealt with certain little-known facts from the history of Russian Indology, Buddhology and Tibetology. Most natural science papers were dedicated to Himalayan and Tibetan flora and fauna. Some talks were of a pronounced interdisciplinary nature. After the conference a special meeting was held to discuss directions of the Association’s future activity.

Bocary Guindo, P. Kutsenkov
The ‘Feedback effect’ is a phenomenon of a ‘feedback’, repeatedly described for discussing the oral tradition: Back in 1982, German ethnologist David Henige noted that researchers of African traditional cultures more and more often encounter the practice when they are recounted the results of the field materials of their predecessors. In all such cases, informants reproduce the works of anthropologists, but the authenticity of recorded traditions in general is beyond doubt. That is not the case with Dogon. The example of this people shows that the phenomenon of ‘feedback’ can not only complicate the work of anthropologists, but also contribute to the growth of ethnic and national identity. Myths borrowed from anthropological literature began to penetrate rural folklore with the development of tourism in the 1990s– 2000s. But the purposeful imposition of a united mythology ‘according to Griaule’ began to play a very important role in the development of ethnic and national identity. The most important role belongs here to the festivals of Ogobagnia. Thus, using the example of the Dogon, one can see a kind of a ‘secondary’ mythology version based on the phenomenon of feedback. The imposition of this ideology is still opposed by local traditions and local folklore, which are very different from the “Dogon mirage” introduced by intellectuals, as well as local customs and rituals, sometimes having little in common with each other; so far, the linguistic and cultural diversity of the ethno-social organism of the Dogon has resisted the pressure of these myths, but perhaps the day is not far off when not only in the Sangha, but also in Semari and Tintan, visitors will be told about Nommo and Sirius names which do not exist (sigu tolo or pô tolo), and the mythology of the Dogon will really turn into a harmonious, but artificial system.
