Abstract

Relationships of the diaspora with the historic homeland can dynamically change over time and take a variety of forms. Sometimes there are situations when the diaspora plot goes into the center of the social life of the society that lets it go, becoming an important factor in its development. Most often, the diaspora is an occasion, a starting point, a symbol for understanding and discussing one’s own problems. And then the study of disputes and discussions of diaspora problems can become a tool for understanding important processes in this society. The research object of the article is the socio-political discussion around the play The Wind of the Past Times of the Buryat drama theater. Transferring the event from a cultural field into a political field allows revealing the important processes of the social and political life of modern Buryatia in the case-study format. The main attention of the authors is focused not on the Shenekhen Buryats themselves, but on revealing the problem of the correlation of cultural, ideological and political components through the attitude to them, to the fate of their symbolic figures, complex, contradictory and often underlying processes of nation-building
