Document:
Issues of studies of the traditional material and spiritual culture of the Slav population of European Russia, and their Finnic- and Turkic-speaking neighbors, have been a priority since the time of establishment of the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography (1879).
Later, the Scientific Cabinet for Europe dealt with these themes; for 15 years (from 1925 till the early 1940s) it was headed by D. K. Zelenin, Associate Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences.
In 1943, when the Moscow part of the Institute of Ethnography was being set up, a department of Eastern Slavs’ ethnography was established, which united Slavic ethnographers in both capitals up to 1992 (i.e. before the splitting of the Institute of Ethnography into the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology in Moscow and Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography in St. Petersburg). The Department was headed at different times by V. V. Bogdanov, Ye. E. Blomqvist, V. I. Chicherov, P. I. Kushner, V. K. Sokolova; it employed such prominent scientists as T. V. Stanyukovich, N. I. N. I. Hagen-Thorn, B. N. Putilov, N. V. Novikov, and A. K. Baiburin; S. N. Mogilyanskaya and others collaborated with it.
From 1961 till 1990, the Department was led by Kirill Vasilievich Chistov, Doctor of Sciences, Associate Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, professor, USSR State Prize winner, one of Russia’s leading specialists in Slavic folklore and ethnography. A web resource was published for the 90th anniversary of Dr. Chistov (1919-2007), assembling printed, audio, video, and photo materials for his biography; a bibliography of his works; the texts of six of his most important books, including a collection of selected articles; a memoir book, and a book of poetry written at different times of his life.
In 1991-2005, the Department was headed by Professor T. A. Bernshtam, Doctor of Sciences, a well-known researcher of the ethnography and folklore of Eastern Slavs and ethnocultural aspects of Christianity and Church ethnography.
From 2006 till 2016, A. I. Teryukov, Candidate of Sciences, was the Head of the Department.
