FAMILY LIFE AND ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES OF THE BAPTIZED KALMYKS OF THE STAVROPOL KALMYK ARMY IN THE FIRST HALF OF THE XIX CENTURY: INFLUENCE OF ACCULTURATION AND ADHERENCE TO TRADITIONS
Abstract
The article discusses the family life and economic activities of the Stavropol baptized Kalmyks in the context of the influence of the state authorized transformations (acculturation policy) and preservation of elements of the traditional way of life for the nomadic people. Based on the economic and social markers that are significant for the studied problem, the author comes to the conclusion about their mutual influence on the world outlook and everyday economic practice of the Kalmyk population. The main characteristics of the first of these were the summer nomad camps, cattle-breeding in Kalmyk farms and hidden observance of Buddhism. The second was manifested in the social equality characteristic of Cossack society, the acquisition of primary school education, the settled life in peasant huts, hay harvesting and, finally, in the awareness of the need for familiarizing with agricultural work.
