The Gottorp Globe and Royal Ethnography
The Gottorp Globe, a marvel of 17th-century science and technology, became the first world-class curiosity in the collection of the tsar Peter’s Kunstkamera and set the tone for the creation of the imperial museum as a majestic temple of knowledge. To some extent, the “Gottorp projection” was also expressed in the architectural design of the Kunstkamera. Moreover, the globe witnessed and conveyed the history and diplomacy of Russia and Europe in …

The Veps Voyage
“Veps Voyage” was a field trip to the Veps, an indigenous small-numbered people of Karelia and the Leningrad and Vologda regions, in August and September 2025. The route covered more than twenty settlements — from Petrozavodsk and Sheltozero in Karelia, through Vinnitsy and Ozyora in the Leningrad region, to Pyazhozero, Kuya, and Pondala in the Vologda region. The research methodology is based on the principles of “new ethnography”: the author do…
Nikolaevsky Hall
On June 17 2024, the opening of a new permanent exhibition of the Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (Kunstkamera) of the Russian Academy of Sciences “Nikolaevsky Hall: Peoples of South Asia” took place. The exhibition hall is called “Nikolaevsky” since a significant part of the South Asian collection was assembled by Crown Prince Nicholas during his trip to the East in 1890–1891. On March 5 1914, already in the status of Empe…
Buddhism in China’s Intangible Cultural Heritage
The article analyzes Buddhist-related monuments included in China’s Intangible Cultural Heritage List. China currently possesses the world’s largest registry of intangible cultural heritage objects, making its experience particularly relevant amid increasing efforts to compile similar lists worldwide, including in Russia. Buddhism is the most widespread religion in China, and its influence on its cultural heritage is enormous. However, modern Chi…

Archaeological Sibiriada
The first two volumes of the new four-volume “History of Siberia” are devoted to archeology. Such significant attention toward antiquities is due to the epochal discoveries of the human ancient routes and sites of the initial settlement of Siberia, primarily the Denisova Cave — the “chronicle of the Stone Age” of Altai. The participation of different sapiens populations in the development of Paleolithic technologies became an impetus for concept…

Theories of Ethnogenesis as a Scientific Heritage
The scientific heritage includes, in addition to fundamental discoveries and significant achievements in the applied sciences, important discursive themes of research and knowledge opened by science for society, the so-called “eternal questions”. These include ethnogenesis, the place of which differs significantly in Russia and in the West. In domestic science, it has always been one of the priorities, and in foreign one it was considered as a pe…
Peter I and the Beginning of Sciences in Russia
Before Peter I, Russia did not know science, relying only on folk knowledge and the Holy Scriptures, and at the turn of the 17th and 18th centuries the country turned, through the efforts of the Tsar, towards science and enlightenment. Peter in his youth became a spontaneous researcher and experimenter, surviving trials and eliminating fears when childhood hydrophobia gave way to a passion for the sea. Overcoming difficulties, expressed in the ph…
Ethnocartography of Medieval Yugra
The uncertainty of the location of the chronicle Yugra is attributable by several circumstances, including its localization both to the west and to the east of the Urals, with the division in written sources of the people(s) called Yugra / Ugra into steppe nomads (Ugrians, Ungry, Magyars, Hungarians), who went west to the Carpathians, and taiga dwellers (Yugra), who remained «in the midnight countries». For ethnographers and historians, this topi…

Northern Identity of Russia (Notes from the India Congress of Anthropologists)
В дискуссиях с индийскими коллегами-антропологами, представляющими крупнейшую страну Глобального Юга, особенно явственно обозначается позиция России как ключевой страны Севера. Продолжая свои исследования северности России, автор последовательно противопоставляет эту ее естественную идентичность популярной, но маловразумительной и тупиковой антитезе «Россия – Запад или Восток?». Обоснование северной идентичности России с позиций истории и антропо…

Challenges to Arctic Nomadism
Yamal peninsula is the largest center of reindeer herding in the Arctic, and Nenets historically and recently succeeded in maintaining their economic and ethnocultural potential. However, environmental challenges, such as the formation of a widespread ice crust across the Yamal Peninsula in the winter of 2013–2014 and the outbreak of anthrax in the summer of 2016, have provoked a discussion on Nenets herding “crisis” that allegedly implies the ov…
The Arctic Nomads
The research focuses on Chukotka, Yamal and Kola peninsulas––the three source areas of Arctic reindeer breeding nomadism. The method of movement recording, termed TMA (tracking–mapping–acting), reveals a multidimensional pattern of nomadic movement with peaks and pauses, personal and social trajectories. The comparison of tracks shows that in contrast to ordinary reindeer herders, the leaders perform more complex and extended maneuvers for survey…

Arctic Nomadic Design (The Nenets Case)
The nomadic technologies of reindeer herders from Yamal Peninsula, in their multidimensional complexity – from the space-time continuity of mobile camps on the open tundra to multi-functionality of material things – enable and facilitate mobility in the extreme environment of the Arctic. The nomadic tradition contains a whole array of concepts (or principles), which, on the one hand, are ultimately practical and, on the other, deserve a theoretic…

The Khanty Living World
One could compare the features of the culture of the Khianty and other nationalities without end, searching for what they have in common and what is unique to them, for the archaic and the new. Indeed, the culture developed over millennia in interaction with various communities, but each time it was given life through the life of the individual. A Khanty person was not concerned with seeking Samoyedic, Turkic, Evenk, and other sources of his conc…

Ethnicity Projections of the Indigenous Minorities of Russia (Web Survey Data)
The article considers the preliminary results of the project “Indigenous Minorities of the Russian Federation: Ethnocultural Projections”. The study of the current state of ethnicity of Russia’s indigenous small-numbered peoples in a multiethnic environment and in the system of complex identities within the space of Eurasia, due to unsuitability of single-line approaches, is carried out using the methods of ethnophenomenology in a wide space-time…
