The History of the Chuvash People through the Eyes of an Ethnographer
Ethnic history presupposes an interdisciplinary analysis of primary sources and basic publications on the subject. For this reason, the researcher must possess the skills not only of a historian; he is obliged to include the scholarly achievements in the study of ethnonyms, geography, genetics, anthropology, archeology, religion, ethnography, linguistics, art history, and folklore studies. In this instance, we turn our attention only to several f…
Debating the issue of Herodotus' Saspirs
The authors discuss the arguments expounded in A.K. Salmin's article on "The Mystery of Herodotus' Saspirs" (Taina gherodotovskikh saspirov), which examined ancient evidence about Herodotus' Saspirs against the backdrop of the Caucasian history of Sapirs/Saviri, who supposedly inhabited the area between the Medes and the Colchis that resided to the south and to the north of the Phasis river accordingly. This area extended to the south-east of the…
The mystery of Herodotus' Saspirs
The article examines ancient evidence about Herodotus' Saspirs against the backdrop of the Caucasian history of Sapirs/Saviri, drawing on both historical sources and current studies. To make the examination coherent, I introduce various data related to the history, geography, ethnography, religion, and language of this group. I argue that there must be a continuity among ethnonyms such as Σάσπειρες, Σάπειρες, Σάβιροι, Sapires, Savares, and Savirs…

The Migration History of the Savirs
The history of the Chuvash people during ancient times and the early Middle Ages is still not well-known or thoroughly understood. The Bulgars were most often named as the historical ancestors of the Chuvash in research from the 18th to the 20th centuries. In the 21st century, a view is beginning to take shape that the Savirs, not the Bulgars, were the predecessors of the Chuvash. The primary sources for this view are the works of Claudius Ptolem…

The matters of the historical relationship of Bulgarians and Chuvash have been widely discussed since that time. The objective of the article is to evaluate the basic provisions of Kunik’s study from the point of view of innovat…
Genetic Geography of the Historical Ancestors of the Chuvash

In the 21st century, the science of genetics began to play a major role in this discussion. In the present article, the author, relying on the achievements of genetic geographers, attempts to provide insights into a profoundly difficult nexus of problems and issues. Today it is accepted as a given t…

History of the Savirs/Suvars
Introduction. The paper examines some archaeological evidence for a line of continuity between the Savirs (an ethnic group that had inhabited the Caucasus up to the mid-1st millennium CE), the Suvars (who were part of the northward migration of the Bulgar tribal federation to the middle reaches of the Volga later in the 1st millennium CE), and the present-day Chuvash people (first attested under that name in the early 16th century). Goals. The ar…

Ethnogenesis and the Chuvash Language as Per N. Ya. Marr
В XIX в. Российская академия наук продолжила традиции изучения истории, этнографии и языков народов, населяющих страну. Среди членов РАН, принимавших активное участие в этом благородном начинании — А. А. Куник, В. В. Радлов, Н. Я. Бичурин, Н. И. Ильминский и А. Э. Альквист. В XIX-XX вв. выделяется среди них Н. Я. Марр — персона, оцененная в науке неоднозначно: от возведения буквально до неимоверных высот до низведения к нулю. Марр сумел войти в н…
Н. Я. Бичурин в поисках этнической идентичности
Introduction. The article contains analysis of the attitude of the Sinologist, specialist in Mongolian and Manchu studies Nikita Yakovlevich Bichurin (Ven. Hyacinth) to his ethnic identity. Goals. The study aims to consider N. Bichurin’s personality in the context of his biography, family, relatives, physical appearances and character, scientific achievements and environment. The veiled rare facts of the attitude of Nikita Yakovlevich to his ethn…
Ivan Lepyokhin’s Expedition to the Middle Volga
the 18th-century expeditions from the Academy of Sciences aimed at colonizing new territories, especially eastern, exploring their landscapes, natural resources, and inhabitants. The article focuses on the team working in the Cheremshan basin. The description of findings is arranged in five sections, following Lepyokhin’s classification: landscape, population, clothing, occupations, and rituals. For the first time, a complete, updated, and verifi…
The Iranian Chapter in the History of the Chuvash
The influence of the Iranian culture on Eastern Europe is undisputable. Scholars write of the Southern-Iranian road which stretched from the south, from the Parthians, Persia, and the Transcaucasia, to the north Iranian way through Khwarezm and as far as the Volga. The extent of the Iranian influence on the tribes populating southern Siberia prior to the Common Era however, is much less clear. It is believed that the Savirs/Suvars were the ancest…
The savirs in the caucasus
The Savirs, historical ancestors of the Chuvash, spent more than seven centuries in the Caucasus. In the mid-2nd century they were recorded there by Ptolemy, while in the 860s they were moving up the River Itil (Volga) after living in the North Caucasus-Don area. In the Hun era they fought now on the side of the Persians, now with the Byzantines. After the loss of Hunnish unity, the Savirs became the most powerful social entity in the region. On …
Dogs in the traditional worldview of the chuvash people
The dog has undergone a long process of domestication and in the mind of man has become a positive fi gure: people swore to dogs, composed eulogies to dogs and have created rules concerning the handling of dogs; dogs were even considered a means of delivering sacrifi cial gifts to the recipients. Etymologists associate a number of corresponding Turkic words with the Chuvash word jytă (dog). However, it is also possible that the etymology of the w…
Religious Rituals of the Chuvash
Problems concerning the ethnology of religion are very relevant in our time, and are particularly worth elaborating with regard to aspects of folk rituals. It is paradoxical that scholars who are constantly engaged in the study of folk rituals usually do not relate them to systematic social science scholarship. This is unfortunate, given that rituals come within the purview of ethnology, folklore, religion, art, culture studies, and even astrolog…
