Mari of the Iksko-Syunsky Subgroup
This article is dedicated to an in-depth analysis of the confessional and ethnocultural peculiarities, as well as the contemporary state of the ethnic culture of the Iksko-Syunsky Mari – a unique and underexplored ethno-territorial subgroup within the Eastern Mari ethnic group.

Calendar festive and ritual culture of the Mordva-Moksha of Bashkiria (traditions in the realities of modernity)
Introduction. Calendar rituals represent a key element of the ethnic traditions of any people. Despite the extensive scholarly exploration of traditional Mordovian rituals, their manifestations within diaspora communities – particularly among the Moksha residing in the territory of Bashkiria – remain insufficiently studied. Through prolonged interaction with Turkic peoples, the Moksha have preserved many ethno-differentiating features of their cu…

La poutre maîtresse dans les rituels oudmourtes
L’un des éléments les plus significatifs de la construction des habitations, non seulement chez les Oudmourtes, mais aussi chez les autres peuples de la zone forestière russe, est la poutre maîtresse, l’élément qui soutient le plafond. L’importance de la fonction de la poutre maîtresse tient à toute une série de significations symboliques, à l’abondance des interprétations et des rituels qui s’y rattachent, et son rôle est clairement reflété dans…

“Field Journals” of ethnologist R.G. Kuzeev
The process of rapid development of the ethnological research, taking place currently, necessitated the search for new sources.

Ritual objects and belongings are still used today at Udmurt prayer rituals that have sacrifices. We would even go so far as to say that carrying out ceremonies without them is unthinkable. Depending on their function they can be defined in several groups: ritual utensils and dishes, ritual clothing, priestly attributes, sacrificial items, donation items/offerings. Currently, there is both the preservation of traditional items and the emergence o…

Since the 90s of the last century, the Mari people have also become acquainted with Protestantism, from different denominations of which only Lutheranism has had a tangible impact on th…
