This article explores the implementation of folk medical practices and procedures in the Viru (i.e. Estonian and Finnish) group in the village of Ryzhkovo, founded as a mixed Lutheran settlement in Western Siberia around 1803. The material is based on the author's fieldwork in 1999, 2000 and 2004. Despite the currently multi-national and multi-ethnic nature of the village, Ryzhkovo still maintains separate territories for Latvians and Vironians -the Latvian side and the Vironian side. Viru, the term originally used by the Finns to refer to the people living in North-Estonia, has obtained a wider meaning and is used as a self-designation for both Estonians and Finns in Ryzhkovo
