- Abstract
- The issue's special section takes on money as an anthropological problem. The problem is indeed anthropological, as the guest editor points out, because money is the object invading and penetrating about every corner of our everyday life. The selection of articles presented in the section is not meant to provide a comprehensive overview of the issue, which would require a much thicker volume, but is intended to contribute to its study by supplying a number of case analyses demonstrating the ways in which the changing attitudes towards money bring about changes in cultural values and social practices. The research of the kind appears timely, considering that Russia is the country that has only recently entered the wider arena of intricate market games. This entrance has already resulted in the emergence of an array of social phenomena indicating powerful psychological shifts which nevertheless still have not become the object of close scholarly attention. The articles offer data, views, and perspectives that, as their authors hope, can promote more active research on the issue. Natalia Aksenova's article explores "money myths" currently circulating in the Ukraine, while Marina Saidukova's contribution discusses notions of money among the Buryat; Elza Bakaeva examines a particular system of coin-counting that has until recently been practiced among the Kalmyk, whereas Svetlana Tiukhteneva describes the notions of money among the Altai in the past and the present.
