One of the key tasks of the modern Russian state and society is the preservation of cultural heritage. Cultural heritage includes a wide range of tangible and intangible objects that need constant study and preservation. This task is especially relevant for the maintenance of ethnic cultures of peoples that demonstrate unfavorable dynamics of ethnodemographic processes, which is typical in particular for the Finno-Ugric peoples of the Russian Federation. Based on the experience of implementing the master's program "Finno-Ugric World in historical, cultural and socio-political aspect" at Udmurt State University, the role of educational institutions in the institutionalization and preservation of the cultural heritage of the Udmurt people is studied.
