Mixed Messages - Mediating Native Belonging in Asian Russia

Summary

Focusing on language and media in Asian Russia, particularly in Buryat territories, Mixed Messages engages debates about the role of minority media in society, alternative visions of modernity, and the impact of media on everyday language use. Graber demonstrates that language and the production, circulation, and consumption of media are practices by which residents of the region perform and negotiate competing possible identities. What languages should be used in newspapers, magazines, or radio and television broadcasts? Who should produce them? What kinds of publics are and are not possible through media? How exactly do discourses move into, out of, and through the media to affect everyday social practices? Mixed Messages addresses these questions through a rich ethnography of the Russian Federation's Buryat territories, a multilingual and multiethnic region on the Mongolian border with a complex relationship to both Europe and Asia.Mixed Messages shows that belonging in Asian Russia is a dynamic process that one cannot capture analytically by using straightforward categories of ethnolinguistic identity.

    Socialism is termed as an economic political and social philosophy covering an assortment of social and economic frameworks characterized by social ownership of the means of production and the self-control of enterprises by workers. It incorporates the political movements and theories related to such systems. A social obligation may be mainstream, collective, collaborative, or equitable. 
Socialism and communism are described fundamentally as economic principles that promote the public in place of private ownership, primarily in a system of factors of production, distribution, and exchange of products and services that aim at making money. Both elements are poised for resolving the rising problems they consider to be created by a series of misguided industrial policies.  
The complex evolution of socialism reflects the broad variety of definitions and interpretations of socialism across the political landscape and the absence of a common consensus of what socialism is or how it appears to look in the practical realm.  
Even so, within countries around the globe, socialist party outfits and concepts continue to shape policy matters. And the prevalence of socialism contributes to the universal appeal of seeking a more egalitarian social implementation.

    My Fellow Prisoners

    The Russian oil mogul and activist offers reflections on his decades-long incarceration under Putin in this “illuminating and brave” prison memoir (The Washington Post).   Mikhail Khodorkovsky was Russia’s most successful businessman—and an outspoken critic of the Kremlin. As his oil company Yukos revived the Russian oil industry, Khodorkovsky began sponsoring programs to encourage civil society and fight corruption. Then he was arrested at gunpoint.   Sentenced to ten years in a Siberian penal colony on fraud and tax evasion charges in 2003, Khodorkovsky was put on trial again in 2010 and sentenced to fourteen years on new charges that contradicted the previous ones. While imprisoned, Khodorkovsky fought for the rights of his fellow prisoners, going on hunger strike four times.   After he was pardoned in 2013, he vowed to continue fighting for prisoners’ rights, and this book is dedicated to that work. A moving portrait of the prisoners Khodorkovsky met, My Fellow Prisoners is an eye-opening account of Russia’s brutal prison system.  “Vivid, humane and poignant” —Financial Times
