Description

Nikolaj Fomich Ichanga tells about his life, especially his childhood, when he grew up with an old childless couple and during which time he learnt how to drive dog sleds.

Description

This recording was done in the traditional fishing camp on the Managič river (Russian version of the name = Manyč), where Evdokija Grigorevna Adukanova and Nikolaj Fomich Ichanga live year round together with her three sons, a 19-year -old granddaughter of hers, as well as previously various grand-children (and now a great-grandson) of pre-school age; in the summer, the camp fills up with further children of school age. The recording took place in the traditional yurt, which is the focus of the camp's life in summer, being the kitchen, dining room and living room of the camp as well as EGA's and NFI's bedroom. We had chased out all children for the recording; however, in the beginning EGA's middle son was still with us drinking tea - this can be heard in the background. Also, the children can be heard quite clearly outside the yurt, as can be the other adults of the camp; furthermore, the fire can be heard crackling, especially during the second half, when more wood was laid on. At first EGA spoke alone, then NFI gave a brief narrative on his own (switching to Russian quite a lot), and finally both answered some questions together. The Marantz and microphone were on a low table in front of the speakers and was monitored by BP, while NA monitored the video camera, which was on a tripod. The recording was done in mono with a Marantz recorder and a Sony handycam on videotape. The videofilm was transferred to the computer as .avi and later converted to mpeg2. The recording was transcribed as a draft in Elan by BP, then the transcription was checked and corrected by BP together with ENČ, the daughter of EGA, with a sentence-by-sentence translation into Russian given by ENČ at the same time.
