«Наша нация – лютеране… наш пастор – католик…»: о религиозной и этнической идентичности локального сообщества «пихтинских голендров»
The article addresses issues of group identity and its religious constituent factor, which is studied through the example of the community of immigrants who came to be known as the Pikhtinsk Golendrs ("Big Hollanders") after settlement in Siberia. The first half of the study comprises an analysis on the basis of bibliographic and field data of the religious status situation upon the arrival of the new settlers in Siberia in the 191 Os and its main changes in the course of the subsequent decades. The second half provides an analysis of the situation today, chiefly on the basis of the field materials of the 2000s. The bottom-line objective is to show how the religious identity of this group's members was transformed and what role it played in the development and stability of the community's group identity.
