Росен Джагалов. От интернационализма к постколониализму
Совсем недавно в (пост)советские исследования пришли постколониальные теории, а история и современность стали все чаще рассматриваться в их рамке, привлекающей к пониманию (пост)социалистического «второго мира» примеры и сравнения с «третьим миром». С одной стороны, череда такого рода публикаций и переводов на русский язык вызывает энтузиазм у некоторых ученых, увидевших в этом сравнении возможность выйти из региональной изоляции и использовать у…
Returning Home and Circular Mobility
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 ev…
Stalin’s rais
The article analyses governance practices in a Central Asian kolkhoz between the 1930s and early 1950s. It investigates the process of the kolkhoz’s construction, economic activities and structures of authority. Focusing on the figure of the kolkhoz chair (rais), the article scrutinizes the range of the rais’s duties and powers. By examining his relations with kolkhoz peasants, their strategies for instigating and resolving local conflicts, and t…
Nations and Post-Colonialism in Central Asia
A Prayer for Rain
The history of secularization in the twentieth century is often described as the process of ‘driving religion out’ of the social and political domain, and confining it to private, peripheral and marginalized spaces. In this article, I explore how Islam fared in what was the most explicitly anti-religious society in twentieth century, namely, the USSR. I argue that, even in this extremely controlled society, there was a certain recognition of reli…
The ‘fierce fight’ at Oshoba
For some time now the theme of the conquest of Central Asia by the Russian Empire has been a subject of historical generalization. In a long-term temporal and broad geographical perspective, researchers have interested themselves in certain general tendencies and patterns, around which it is possible to structure grand narratives of ‘conquest’. One of the consequences of this approach has been a predominant interest in a few ‘key’ events. Another…
Soviet and Post-Soviet Identities
Since the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, questions of identity have dominated the culture not only of Russia, but of all the countries of the former Soviet bloc. This timely collection examines the ways in which cultural activities such as fiction, TV, cinema, architecture and exhibitions have addressed these questions and also describes other cultural flashpoints, from attitudes to language to the use of passports. It discusses definitions of p…
The logic of Islamic practice

Gellner, the 'Saints' and Central Asia
This article assesses the salience for Central Asia of Ernest Gellner's theories about Islam, modernity and nationalism. Gellner has argued that modernisation homogenises culture and that this process goes together with nationalism and certain changes of emphasis within Islam. In Central Asia, Soviet modernisation did not bring long-lasting cultural or social standardisation. Evidence for this is that the traditional respect given to the status o…
