The paper presents a snapshot of the city-village connections in the city of Yakutsk and an anthropological account of the dynamics of the relationship between the city and villages around it. Demographic changes that started in the 1980s, prompted by a decline in agriculture, initiated an exodus of the rural population from the countryside into the city of Yakutsk. This paper explores the migration dynamics of the rural population to the city. Two conflicting aspects of the relationship between the city and village are the focus of this paper: treating village people as close kin and as outsiders. I examine the image of ulusnik [a villager] and consider rationales behind the stigma attached to it and a social role of the Other which is imposed on the people from the countryside.
本文展示了雅库茨克市城乡联系的概况，并从人类学角度阐述了该市与其周边村庄关系的动态变化。始于20世纪80年代的人口结构变化，由农业衰退引发，促使农村人口从农村涌入雅库茨克市。本文探讨了农村人口向城市的迁移动态。城乡关系中两个相互矛盾的方面是本文的重点：将农村居民视为近亲以及视为外来者。我研究了ulusnik（村民）的形象，并思考了与之相关的污名背后的理由以及强加给农村居民的“他者”的社会角色。
