- W123763962 abstract "Lake Yessei is a relatively large community of predominantly Yakut (hakalaar) hunters and reindeer herders located in the far north-eastern corner of the Evenki Autonomous District, Krasnoiarsk Krai. This community of approximately 900 self-ascribed 'Yakuts' is the largest community of Sakha-speaking people outside of the republic of the same name. However it is one of the least well-known 'diaspora' communities in Russia. This chapter, based on anthropological fieldwork from 1998 to 2002, discusses the impact of Russian imperial expansion, orthodoxy, and Soviet policies on the identity of the people living there. In the 18th and 19th centuries, Lake Yessei was a hub located strategically at the centre of overland transport corridors uniting Mangazeia with Yakutsk. The region attracted the interest of orthodox missionaries at an early date due to the wealth and 'civilised' aspect of its local reindeer herders as for its prominent position in the regional trading networks. Some of the more fascinating manuscript diaries come from the travels of the missionary Mikhail Suslov, who in his Ilimskii inspired programme of empowering inorodtsev campaigned for the construction of chapel and later a mission school in the area. The coming of Soviet power in 1924 put an end to these early empowerment programmes, but they arguably lived on in early Populist programmes of social betterment spearheaded by the 'Committee of the North' led by Suslov's grandson. It was only late in the Soviet era that new transportation technologies and new industrial priorities ironically re-created Lake Yessei as one of the more remote communities in Central Siberia. Yessei Yakuts today maintain a remarkably strong affinity to their identity as yakuty in region where it has become more popular to rename oneself either as Evenki or as Sakha. Their identity is invigorated by a strong tie to their land and their lake, which figures in a number of mythic narratives of origin. Further, the negative memory of the orthodox mission still empowers their sense of self. This chapter argues that without the powerful dialogues initiated by early orthodox and Soviet missionaries, the strong sense of identity that one reads in this community could not exist. This argument leads into broader arguments of the role of the state and social institutions in creating identity." @default.
