The Churaevka literary newspaper in the Russian émigré discourse of the Far East

Based on the scientific category of discourse, the article analyzes the rich professional experience of the creation and functioning of the artistic and journalistic discourse of the emigrant periodicals of Harbin in the early 1930s: the weekly supplement Molodaya Churaevka to the newspaper Harbin Daily News and its successor, the Churaevka literary newspaper, the periodical of the Harbin circle of art, science and literature "The Young Churaevka". The authors of the article focus on new scientific aspects: the preservation of the Russian national identity of the Russian emigration based on the development of interaction between Russian classical literature and domestic journalism, strengthening the sovereignty of the Russian national verbal culture, its promotion into the world space in order to strengthen the stability of the global world. Characterizing the features of the content of these publications, the authors of the article focus on the analysis of the concept of "Churaevka" in the national socio-cultural and historical-literary context, on identifying the integrative concept of Russian national culture embedded in it, its philosophical, aesthetic, spiritual and moral origins and axiological values that remain relevant. The consideration of the etymology of the concept "Churaevka", which contributes to the actualization of the deep national-historical foundations of Russian culture, is for the first time complemented by the inclusion in scientific discourse of the epistolary of Siberian writers A.A. Gryzov (Achair) and G.D. Grebenshchikov, more fully reflecting the dynamics of a meaningful, civilly responsible choice by emigrants of "Russian" China of the name of their periodical, the continuity of national cultural traditions, traditions of Russia, the peculiarities of the spiritual and moral foundations of the Russian national character. The background and multifaceted activities of the art, science and literature circle "The Young Churaevka", which largely determined the ideological and creative priorities and directions in the formation of the professional ideology and editorial policy of the literary newspaper Churaevka and its activities, are considered in the article as an important factor in increasing its socio-cultural role and influence on the life, self-determination of the young, rising generation of Russian emigrants in China, on the formation of their ideological picture of the world, as an important contribution to the then beginning process of the formation of the global Russian world. Analyzing the organizational, educational, journalistic, literary-critical activities of journalists, writers and critics of the emigre literary newspaper Churaevka and its predecessors, the authors of the article particularly note their high professionalism, patriotism, active civic position, objective, scientific-critical approach to the analysis of socio-cultural processes, literary and artistic phenomena, devoid of political expediency, based on commitment to professional ideology and the ideals of Russian national culture. The authors declare no conflicts of interests.
