Ukrainian Folklore in Kazakhstan

[Natalie Kononenko]

Dear Fellow list members,



I want to draw your attention to some new materials.  We have indexed and
posted the materials that I collected in Kazakhstan.  Ukrainians arrived to
the area northeast of Pavlodar at the turn of the 20th century.  They came
in response to the Stolypin reforms and were pioneers who established
villages.  Later waves of immigration came with the Khrushchev Virgin Lands
policy and in the 1970s.  All in all an interesting group who have
developed their own language (khokhliatskii) and their own version of
rituals.



Find an indexed and searchable version of the sound files at

Selected photographs are at

Please note that the pull-down menu on top of the box to the right goes by
village – so photos from individual villages are here.

We have also posted some songs on
http://research.artsrn.ualberta.ca/ukrfolklore/categoryclips.html?category_id=4&filter=all

This is a site where volunteers can transcribe and translate recordings.  Would
love to have you try working with these.  The songs are in Ukrainian, even
though the people themselves speak a Ukrainian/Russian mix they call
khokhliatskii.  Would welcome your feedback about these songs.  Are they
familiar?  Are they similar to or different from the songs you know?
