Vladimir Mikhailovich Sangi (Russian: Влади́мир Миха́йлович Санги́, IPA: [vlɐˈdʲimʲɪr mʲɪˈxajləvʲɪtɕ sɐnˈɡi]; 18 March 1935) is a Nivkh writer and publicist. He writes in Nivkh and Russian.
Biography
Sangi was born 18 March 1935 in the nomadic settlement Nabil (now a village in Sakhalin Oblast). He graduated from Herzen University in 1959 and became a member of the Union of Soviet Writers in 1962. In 1965 he completed upper literature courses. In 1967 he joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
He settled in Moscow in the mid-1960s, and since 1975 has been a chairman of the Union of Russian Writers. After perestroika he moved back to Sakhalin, where in 1993 he was elected chief of the tribes of Ket Eastern Sakhalin and the basin of the Tym River.[1] He is also a member of the International League for Human Rights under the United Nations Economic and Social Council.
A speaker of the East Sakhalin dialect of Nivkh, Sangi is the founder of Nivkh literature, one of the creators of the reformed Nivkh alphabet (introduced by an act of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union on 29 June 1979[2]), and the author of the rules of Nivkh orthography, a Nivkh language primer, a Nivkh language textbook, textbooks for Nivkh schools, and books for reading in Nivkh,[3][4] as well as a publisher of Nivkh translations of Russian classics.
In his work it's clear that a connection is preserved in myths between man and nature, the world of animals and the spiritual forces that define material existence.[5]
At the UNESCO headquarters in Paris on 18 March 2015 there was a round table discussion entitled "Protection and Promotion of the Cultural and Linguistic Heritage of the Indigenous Peoples of Northern Sakhalin (Nivkhs)."[6] The event was timed to coincide with Vladimir Sangi's eightieth birthday. By the decision of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation, Sergey Lavrov, the event proceeded under the auspices of the Commission of the Russian Federation for UNESCO. The organizers of the event were Sakhalin Energy, the government of Sakhalin Oblast, and the Permanent Delegation of the Russian Federation to UNESCO.
