| Sumario: | The article examines the evolution of ideas about Ermak from the end of the 16th
and throughout the 17th centuries, identifies the main subjects of constructing his
image. The aim of the study is to systematize and factorial analysis of the evolving
discourses about Ermak’s campaign in the initial period of constructing images and
legitimizing the annexation of Siberia to the Russian state in internal communicative
practices. The research is carried out on the basis of the analysis of chronicles, act
and diplomatic materials, materials of historical and ethnographic research. The
article is the first to review the evolution of Ermak’s image in various communication
practices, not in the context of the search for «historical truth», but to analyze the
factors of such evolution and the formation of the internal logic of coexistence
in one image of several contradictory characteristics. This study shows how, as
a result of collective action on the construction of «Ermak» by various subjects
of communication (government, church, Stroganovs, folk art), a contradictory but
universal image of a hero has come down to us, suitable for any communication
task — from justifying «Cossack freemen» to evidence of the «state» nature of the
campaign to Siberia. |
