Estonian ethnographers’ fieldwork in Nazi-occupied Ingria, 1942–1943
This article focuses on an intriguing, but little-known, episode in the history of Estonian ethnography. During World War II, Estonian researchers had the opportunity to undertake two expeditions to study the Votians, close linguistic relatives, whom they had previously been unable to visit for political reasons. These expeditions took place with the permission and backing of German security and military authorities, which has raised the question…
A Soviet-Estonian Ethnographer Contributing to the Ethnic Movements of Fellow Finno-Ugrians
This article is about the interplay between the Soviet nationalities policy, ethnography and ethnic activism in in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It focusses on Aleksei Peterson, an Estonian ethnographer, and his relationship with two Finno-Ugric peoples he had studied for decades - the Veps and the Udmurt. Based on interviews, field diaries, official documents and other material, we claim that Peterson (and his Estonian colleagues) made an impo…
Aleksei Peterson in the Southern Veps Villages in 1965-1969
The article examines the five expeditions made by Aleksei Peterson, director of the Estonian Ethnography Museum, and his colleagues to the Southern Veps villages (Leningrad Oblast, northeastern Russia) in the late 1960s. These research trips marking the rebirth of the Finno-Ugric direction in Estonian ethnography (ethnology) constitute an important part of disciplinary history. The article, based mainly on fieldwork diaries, focuses on the everyd…

Favourite Research Topics of Estonian Ethnographers Under Soviet Rule
Estonian ethnography as one of the Estonia-related disciplines was tied with Estonian nationalism from the very beginning. Defined as a science investigating mainly the material side of vanishing traditional peasant culture in the 1920s, it fitted rather well with the Soviet understanding of ethnography as a sub discipline of history. Thanks to the major cooperation projects initiated and coordinated by ethnographers from Moscow, Soviet Estonian …
Eesti etnograafia ja eesti rahvuslus
Etnograafia (etnoloogia) kui kultuuri, ühiskonda ja rahvast (rahvaid) uuriv teadusharu on alati olnud seotud ideoloogia ja poliitikaga (vt Bendix 1999; Klein 2006). Etnograafia tekkis ja arenes XIX sajandil ning XX sajandi algul konkreetsetes riiklikes oludes ning seetõttu on erinevates maades mõneti erinenud nii distsipliini nimetused, meetodid kui ka uurimisobjektid. Eestis oli teadusharu nimetuseks kuni 1990. [...]
Illegally denied
This article raises questions about the relationship between theory and practice, legality and illegality in the late Soviet nationalities policy, and the role played by various branches of power. It focuses on the Veps, an indigenous ethnic minority in the northwest of Russia. In the Brezhnev era, quite a few officials and census takers refused to register the Veps nationality in personal identification documents and during censuses, claiming, i…
Count us! Ethnic Activism in South-Eastern Estonia, and the Census of 2011
The ethnic activists of south Estonia (the Seto and Võro movements), challenging traditional concepts of the Estonian nation, tried to exploit the last national census (2011) for their cause, but were only partly successful because of opposition from decision-makers at Statistics Estonia, who have demonstrated a spontaneous conservatism in regard to questions of ethnicity and language. The government’s response to the initiatives of the ethnic ac…
The Permiak question”
This is an article on Bolshevik nationalities policy and ethnic engineering, asking who, in fact, decided which populations belonged together as ethnic groups ( narodnost' ) and thus had the right of national self-determination, and how the level of autonomy was determined for each ethnic unit. Scholars have dealt with Russian and Soviet nationalities issues for decades already, but they have turned their attention mainly to the larger nationalit…
Building a State in a State
This article analyses the conceptual path to the creation of national territorial autonomies of the Komi (Zyrians) and Komi-Permiaks in the 1920s. It focuses on the history of the idea of Komi autonomy and on the formation of the borders of the Komi Autonomous Oblast. The creation of the Komi autonomy was, first of all, the project of the small group of nationalist Komi communists. They tried to unite all the Komi politically, and were successful…
The Komi, Ethnic Stereotypes, and Nationalities Policy in Late Imperial Russia
Ethnic Identity of the Setus and the Estonian–Russian Border Dispute
The Setus are an ethnic group, small in numbers, in the southeastern part of the Republic of Estonia and the Russian territories bordering on Estonia (Petseri raion of the Pskov oblast). The Setus can be seen as ethnographic raw material that both Estonian and Russian nationalists have attempted to claim. Generally, the Setus has been viewed as an ethnographic subgroup of Estonians and their language as part of the South Estonian dialect. Unlike …
