THE IMAGE OF GYPSIES IN THE CONTEMPORARY RUSSIAN SOCIETY [Текст] / Reznikova Ksenya, Seredkina Natalia, Zamaraeva Julia, Kistova Anastasiya, Pimenova Natalia // 4th INTERNATIONAL MULTIDISCIPLINARY SCIENTIFIC CONFERENCE ON SOCIAL SCIENCES AND ARTS SGEM 2017. — 2017. — Т. 1 (№ 1). — С. 1007-1012Аннотация:
of Gypsies (including their individual representatives) cause such violent surges
of discontent that can be settled only by law enforcement authorities. For example, in
August 2016 in Ukrainian village of Loschinovka there were pogroms of houses
inhabited by Gypsy families, in response to the murder of a local girl by a Gypsy; in
March 2016, in Tula village of Plekhanovo enforcement authorities were engaged in
connection with the illegal tapping into the gas pipeline by the local Gypsies, etc. This
paper studies public perception of Gypsies, forcing violent and abrupt reactions of other
people to actions of Gypsies; it also investigates the causes of such perception, ways of
their formation and possibilities of their change.
The study is based on the discussion in the “Live journal” in August 2016,
initiated by a Gypsy, in which young parents took part. The research method is narrative
analysis. The contributing opinions to the discussion (more than 400), have been
analyzed from the perspective of the image, the Russians have of Gypsies, and the
features that are considered most typical.
The following components of the image of Gypsies were analyzed in the study:
appearance, places of settlement, types of employment, victims of Gypsies, techniques
for resisting Gypsies, attitude to Gypsies, attitude of Gypsies towards Gypsies and non-
Gypsies, ways to change the attitude towards Gypsies.
The Gypsies are identified by the representatives of other ethnic groups
primarily by their appearance, occupation and places of settlement. The victims of
illegal actions of Gypsies are mainly women. The techniques to resist Gypsies are
ignoring them, using their own methods, search for protection. Gypsies clearly identify
people as their own kind and others, which they appear to do on the basis of blood
relations. They actively and even aggressively protect people of their own kind; the
attitude to others is bad. Gypsies believe constructivism is the means to change the
attitude of other people towards them. Representatives of other ethnic groups believe
that constructivism can be applied only on the basis of Gypsies’ modifying their own
behaviour.
