“Setos pick russula and purovik, and not the red ones, they are slimy”: Cultural preferences in edible mushroom use of the Setos and Russians of Pechory District of Pskov Oblast, NW Russia
Mushroom typology, together with the information needed to pick and cook edible mushrooms forms the basis of ethnomycology. Popular distinction between edible agaric and bolete mushrooms (which does not always coincide with the scientific typology) is known to many European cultures. This distinction and the semantic domain of mushroom names in Seto can influence the perception of mushrooms and taste preferences. In the context of language erosio…

Green pharmacy at the tips of your toes: Medicinal plants used by Setos and Russians of Pechorsky District, Pskov Oblast (NW Russia)
BackgroundWhile the hybridization of ecological knowledge has attracted substantial attention from researchers, the coexistence of local and allopathic medicinal traditions in literate societies widely exposed to centralized schooling and medical services has not yet been investigated. To this end, we studied the current and remembered local ethnomedical practices of Setos and neighboring Russians at the border with Estonia.MethodsDuring 2018-201…
Ethnobotanical Knowledge of an Eskimo Family: Naukan Yupiks [Etnobotanicheskoe znanie odnoi eskimosskoi sem’i: naukanskie yupiki]
This article analyzes the Naukan Yupiks ethnobotanical knowledge, i.e. the use of plants as food, medicine, household or ritual objects, on the example of one family. The resettlement from Cape Dezhnev to other settlements led to significant changes in their culture and language proficiency. Fieldwork was carried out in summer 2014 in the village of Uelen, Chukotka, using the methods of structured interviews and participant observation. Informant…

Inventing a herbal tradition: The complex roots of the current popularity of Epilobium angustifolium in Eastern Europe
Historical ethnobotanical investigations could help to avoid creating repeating waves of popularity of plants that have already been tried for certain diseases and later abandoned as not fully effective. There is, of course, a chance that E. angustifolium could also finally be proven to be clinically safe and cost-effective for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia, but this has not yet happened despite recent intensive research. Documented tradi…
Gaining momentum: Popularization of Epilobium angustifolium as food and recreational tea on the Eastern edge of Europe
Gathering “Mouse Roots,” Among the Naukan and Chukchi of the Russian Far East
The authors worked from 2014–2016, with 67 Naukan and Chukchi participants in six villages on the subject of “mouse roots,” a category of edible plants, including tubers of five species, taken from caches of Microtus voles. Only eight out of 44 Chukchi and none of the Naukan respondents said that they still actively gather these foods. However, 43 out of 44 Chukchi and 21 out of 23 Naukan participants still possess specific knowledge of the proce…
Naukan ethnobotany in post-Soviet times: Lost Edibles and New Medicinals
Naukan elders explained the large increase in use of medicinal plants by noting that their original concept of medicine emphasized prevention and that illnesses were often assigned a spiritual rather than physical cause. Increased integration with ethnic Russians after moving from Naukan led to the adoption not only of new plant uses, but also of an entirely different, more naturalistic way of viewing illness and treatment
