Description
Summary:International audience Due to its territorial expansion over the centuries, Russia has constantly incorporated the most diverse peoples and languages. At a time when the Russian Federation wants to find a great national narrative, the authorities put forth the necessity "to protect historical truth" (Article 67.1 § 3 of the Constitution) to impose a memory policy, to the exclusion of all others. Thenceforth, the monopoly of the State on history, promoted by institutions of historical propaganda and passed on throughout society, condemns the silencing of the unedited memory of communities that do not have the same reading of past event. This is why, through a historical and anthropological approach based on old sources and the word collected in the tundras and taigas until 2019, the point will be to put into perspective the Russian narrative, thanks to the reading of the indigenous peoples of (Sub)Arctic Siberia. Par son expansion territoriale au fil des siècles, la Russie n'a cessé d'incorporer les peuples et les langues et les plus divers. A l'heure où la Fédération veut fonder un grand récit national, elle argue de "protéger la vérité historique" (article 67.1 § 3 de la Constitution) pour imposer une politique mémorielle, à l'exclusion de toue autre. Dès lors, ce monopole de l'Etat sur l'histoire, promu par des institutions de propagande historique et relayé dans toute la société, condamne au silence la mémoire inédite de communautés quine font pas la même lecture des événements du passé. C'est pourquoi il s'agira, dans une approche historique et anthropologique fondée sur des sources anciennes et la parole collectée dans les toundras et les taïgas jusqu'en 2019, de mettre en perspective le récit national russe, grâce à la lecture des peuples autochtones de la Sibérie (sub)arctique.
