Popis: | The Russian South hosts over a hundred peoples whose cultures and confessions representing all the three world religions successfully co-exist and interact, which makes the region unique. One of the ethnies is the Kalmyks, who belong to Mongolian language group and cultural community. The local journalism has been one of the key socio-cultural factors that brings together all the multidimensional values of the various ethnic groups, including the Kalmyks. All this explains the relevance of the research. The article deals with the retrospective of the studies of Kalmykia’s printed press, determines the key stages in historiography on this field, and analyzes the extent of its scientific coverage. Studies on the history of the local press and the content of the publications, which is large empirical data, provide for an objective evaluation of the events in particular historical contexts. Viewing the history of the ethnos, its education, culture, literature, ethnography, and socio-political realias of the period under consideration adds to the topicality of the research. The authors track the Kalmykia theme in the press of the Russian South, study the emergence and development of the local mass media and journalism, which has adopted the best practices of the neighboring region’s mass media. The article also point out the big role of Nomto Ochirov, a scientist and socio-political figure, in the establishment of Kalmyk national press. |
