Description
Summary:International audience The topic of this article has been mostly ignored by Arctic research : it focuses on the Russian Orthodox missionaries’ activities in Russia’s Extreme North and more precisely on their attempts to convert the Khantys and the Nenets to Christianity. During the Soviet period, all that was connected to the missionaries’ work was presented as harmful or unsuccessful in recent years, no extensive research has been led on that topic. In this article, I follow the history of the mission founded in 1852 in Obdorsk, a commercial centre on the Polar circle in Western Siberia, whose most successful period was the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century, when it was led by igumen Irinarh. I focus on the missionary’s activities, on the mission’s school for indigenous children, the first texts in the indigenous languages published in the framework of the mission, as well as on Irinarh’s strategies and worldview, as he presents them in his writings. I conclude with some comments about this remarkable personality. Artiklis käsitletud teemat pole seni ilmunud erialakirjanduses peaaegu üldse uuritud. Nimelt vaatleb autor vene õigeusu misjonäride tegevust Venemaa Põhja-aladel, täpsemalt nende katseid ristiusustada hante ja neenetseid. Nõukogude ajal misjonäride tegevust kas tauniti või paremal juhul lihtsalt ignoreeriti, pidades nende tööd kahjulikuks või täiesti tulemusetuks. Ka viimasel ajal pole uurijad küsimusele suuremat tähelepanu pööranud. Artiklis antakse põhjalik ülevaade Obdorski misjoni kui ühe olulise ristiusustamiskeskuse ajaloost. Misjon asutati 1852. aastal. Selle tegevus saavutas haripunkti 19. ja 20. sajandi vahetusel, kui misjonit juhtis Irinarh Šemanovski. Kirjutises jälgitakse misjoni töö käiku ja selle juurde asutatud põliselanike kooli tegevust, esimeste raamatute avaldamist kohalikes keeltes ning Irinarhi strateegiaid ja maailmavaadet, lähtudes tema enda töödes leiduvatest kirjeldustest. Artikli lõpetab mõttearendus iguumeni erakordse isiku kohta. Cet article ...
