«Multibloods»: a feature of the formation ethnic identity “tyagubya” — descendants from inter-ethnic marriages of Russian Koreans

Abstract: 
There are some common features of self-identification of descendants from interethnic marriages. However, each nation has its own characteristics for the «mestizo». We will compare the descendants from mixed marriages of representatives of a number of peoples. We have used publications of some Russian authors, as well as our own analysis of stories of descendants from mixed marriages of Russian Koreans — «tyagubya». A characteristic feature of tyagubya is that they rarely identify themselves unambiguously as Russians or Koreans, and also rarely have a cosmopolitan self-identification. Rather, two types of self-identification of half-Koreans should be distinguished, which can be defined as positive and negative. Tyagubya either categorically does not refer to themselves as either Koreans or Russians, or they refer to both at once, calling themselves «multibloods», absorbing and refracting in a special way two very different cultures.
