It was revealed that in the Urmaevo village Muslim Tatars lived together with baptized Tatars. Two families of hereditary imams served in the community, who had difficult relationships with each other.

The relevance of studying this type of visual materials lies in the possibility of identifying the transformation of Tatar women's costume. Taking into account the accumulated experience of ethnographic research and the preserved early written and visual materials, the article provides a comparative historical analysis of parsuna. The given piece, according to some estimates, dates back to the 17th–18th centuries. According to the author of the article, it was written no earlier than the beginning of the 19th century. The proposed dating is explained by the absence of characteristic elements of the Tatar woman's costume complex on the depicted Syuyumbike, which were present in drawn works of the earlier period. The image of Syuyumbike is reproduced in a young lady’s head-dress, which consists of a cone-shaped hat and a veil, and the woman next to her is wearing a women’s multi-piece head-dress. Taking into account the traditions of varying degrees of head coverage in the complexes of different age groups of Tatar women, we can conclude that the age of the depicted figures is clearly identifiable in the parsuna. The standing child, who is considered Utyamish, taking into account the early traditions of dressing boys in women’s clothing, is dressed in a girlish complex, repeating the image of a mother and a married woman. This is not typical of the traditional culture. In the 1850s edition, a similar piece was published, but “Syuyumbike” was not indicated in the title, which allows us to assume that that image was later included in an already existing image with reproduction of the clothes of young Tatar girls and married women.","PeriodicalId":350692,"journal":{"name":"Historical Ethnology","volume":"130 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141811660","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It shows that after the premiere of the first ballet “Vain Precaution” by P.Hertel in 1939, the troupe continued to master the performances of the classical heritage “Giselle” by A.Adam (1945) and “Swan Lake” by P.Tchaikovsky (1947). At the same time, the troupe was working on creating a national ballet performance. Turning to the historical past and folklore, the authors of the libretto and choreographers immersed the viewer in the life and culture of the Tatar people, and the composers built the score based on centuries-old musical traditions. All this was expressed in the ballets “Shurale” by F.Yarullin (1945) and “Zyugra” by N.Zhiganov (1946). At this time, new productions appear in the repertoire, reflecting the current ideas of Soviet art at the time of creation. These are “Bakhchisarai Fountain” by B.Asafiev (1946) and “Laurencia” by A.Crane (1953). In the 2000s, a number of premieres took place produced for the Kazan ballet stage – “The Tale of Yusuf” (2001) by L.Lyubovskiy, choreography by N.Boyarchikov, G.Kovtun; “Peer Gynt” (2003) by E.Grieg, “The Golden Horde” (2013), R.Akhiyarova – choreography by G.Kovtun; “Сarmina Вurana, or the Wheel of Fortune” (2013) by K.Orff, choreography by A.Polubentsev. The author sets the task of identifying trends in the development of the repertoire in the post-Soviet period. His focus is on original ballet performances. The conclusion was that the result of the search for choreographers on the Kazan stage, expressed in the synthesis of genres, styles, and appeal to new subjects for the ballet theater, was the enrichment of the repertoire of M.Jalil Tatar Academic State Opera and Ballet Theater and entertainment culture in general.","PeriodicalId":350692,"journal":{"name":"Historical Ethnology","volume":"139 38","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141810813","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Single and serial postcards issued throughout the 20th century recorded the existence of exquisite, perfectly made miniature people, which makes these publications a historical source. Some of the postcards were printed for advertising purposes and reflected the products of a particular company; others captured museum and private collections. The postcards demonstrate a variety of regional costumes, the main details of which, although similar throughout the territory of France, differed in colour, shape or finishing details in each historical region, city, canton, and commune. A comparison of a real and a doll costume shows some conventionality of the latter and the fact that the creators focused on hats. The dolls reflect the following features of costume making: handwork, the use of natural fabrics and lace – the results of work by artisans of different specialties. With some reservations, postcards with images of costume dolls can be viewed as visual materials for studying costumes from different regions of France, as well as an important graphic source on this issue.","PeriodicalId":350692,"journal":{"name":"Historical Ethnology","volume":"17 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141810401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main objective of the research is to consider the various types and forms of cooperative associations of residents of the Ukhta District of Karelia and establish the most important areas of their activities. The leading research methods are historical narrative, analysis and synthesis of information identified in archival and printed materials, methods of microhistory and regional studies. The main sources of the research are documents from the funds of the National Archives of the Republic of Karelia. The scientific novelty of the study lies in the fact that, using the example of the Ukhta District, inhabited by northern Karelians, it examines the development of various types of cooperative peasant associations in Karelia, taking into account not only the national specifics, but also natural environment and climatic and foreign policy factors. In this regard, the difficulties of restoring the economy at the beginning of the New Economic Policy in the Ukhta District, which suffered from military operations and bad weather conditions, are revealed. Using the example of the Kemsk-Ukhta District Union of Cooperatives, distinctive features in the work of cooperative societies in the border zone were discovered and general shortcomings of consumer cooperation in the 1920s were detected. Other types of cooperative associations created in Ukhta district have been established: credit partnership, agricultural commune, land reclamation partnership. The peculiarity of peasant cooperatives in northern villages, where reindeer herding partnerships were created, was clarified; the importance of peasant cooperation for the economic growth of Ukhta district is shown.","PeriodicalId":350692,"journal":{"name":"Historical Ethnology","volume":"20 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141813593","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
