Due to the natural processes of globalization, different cultures are increasingly mixed, share traditions and peculiarities.In our language woven into new words and concepts whose meaning is sometimes not so easy to realize.For example, what kurultai?How does it differ from the Parliament?Let's deal.
What does "Kurultai»
course, any study is logical to start with the analysis of words that denotes a phenomenon.TF Efremova much about it writes.On the question of what the Kurultai, we get a very brief answer: it is a congress of representatives of some of the Turkic peoples.From this we conclude: we explore virtually the State Assembly.Kurultai, according to historians, in some countries really is.His practiced Mongol ruler of the Golden Horde.The fact that Genghis Khan united the many small tribes.Each had their own leaders and respected people.To more effectively manage disparate, in fact, a general meeting of the people was a magnificent find.Since ancient times, and it began the tradition of Kurultai.
On what questions were going?
Like any representative body, kurultai used mainly for political purposes.So, if we talk about the time of the Golden Horde, it shall decide important questions of life organization.Namely: where to wander, to attack anyone.It was the event of the development strategy of "state."Historians claim that the founder of the tradition - Genghis Khan - use this method quite often.The successors also did not give up the support of "elite", which was formed on the same charges.Understand what kurultai examining only historical examples, it is impossible.The fact is that the tradition has evolved and filled with meaning, respectively, the development of civilization.Consider a few recent examples.
traditions of the Bashkir people
gather to consider issues of peace or war, routes nomadic way of life, to judge the internecine conflicts, was a tradition inherited from the Golden Horde.Bashkirs no wonder that such a Kurultai.Everyone knows from an early age that respected people nominated by local communities to protect and present them in an important congress.It must be said that the role of the meeting does not depend on its level of formality.Kurultai considered authority self on a national basis.Nevertheless, it is quite functional as generates a common point of view of the peoples.I must say that the Bashkirs are heterogeneous, composed of different groups.Their characteristics and achievement is the equality of all peoples of the community.Therefore Kurultai they need.It is a measure of respect to any point of view, the highest kind of democracy, sometimes inaccessible current "civilized" countries.
traditions of the Crimean Tatar people
for Muslims living in the peninsula, the national assembly since returning to the motherland has become of particular importance.The fact is that in the Crimea were established institutions of local government.Representing them was common.That is the Crimean Tatar people could nominate candidates, to win mandates.Only the people tried to live original, do not assimilate into the society of the peninsula.Therefore all the vital issues affecting the nation, decided at a general meeting.
gathering was a body of self-organization of the people.So, it addressed the impact of the Crimean Tatars on the economic development of the peninsula, cultural development, and others.In the foreground is always on the agenda was the impact on political processes.Without the consent of that august body, no representative of the nation could not qualify to participate in the elections as a candidate for the position or gorposselskogo head.
Historic be called Kurultai of the Crimean Tatar people on March 29, 2014. At that meeting to decide how to treat people for a referendum on joining the peninsula to the Russian Federation.Perhaps after some time the leaders of the people recognized that embarked on the wrong path.But while it seemed politically correct to their people will not participate in the voting.And so it happened.Disobeyed were few.
Kurultai as a positive experience
I must say that this kind of self-organization, despite the fact that there has been a great experience existence may be called progressive.This failsafe method of forming public opinion.Let until it affects only the separate nation.But civil society is not yet created such a tool having such a huge impact on every citizen, to rally individuals to the people!It is not so much in the implementation of political decisions, but in the art to preserve their own identity, based on the traditions of their ancestors.Kurultai - meeting those who respect all members of the nation, with the exception of marginal.That is, it is brought up in a particular family.Dispatched from grandfather to grandson and so on.This tradition is invincible!
