“Forgetting my native language, I will become numb. Having lost Russian, I will become deaf ”show Answer: Tanzilya Zumakulova
Do you know what "cups" are? And what is the nationality of the famous poet Rasul Gamzatov? Or what is the name of the Lezgin folk dance? So I don’t know, but I went to the “Great Ethnographic Dictation”, which today, November 3, was held at several Tyumen venues. I chose the Information and Library Center of Tyumen State University - I hoped that my native walls would somehow help. I don’t know yet how I did it, the results will become known only on December 12, 2017. But, as for me, the result is disappointing.
The participants of the dictation, as befits a student library, were university teachers and students. Well, so am I. And a couple more who wished to assess the level of their ethnographic literacy. Each of the participants received three sheets: the first - a test of thirty questions (on federal and regional topics), the second - a form for answers, the third - a form of self-control, for "handwriting" and other records. For everything about everything - exactly 45 minutes.
The first question - and, as I see it, the first failure: "The bearer of sovereignty and the only source of power in Russia according to the Constitution...": 1). The president; 2). State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation; 3). Multinational people of the Russian Federation; four). Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation. Well, out of my stupidity, forgetfulness and ignorance, I wrote the first version. It turned out the third one. A shame.
But to the third question - "Where is the Kizhi Museum-Reserve?" - answered correctly - in Karelia. Either he knew, or he remembered the vast expanses of the region, or he just hit the sky with his finger. In any case, the answer will be counted.
Question number 6 - another "unsuccessful". The educator Kayum Nasyri was the son of what people? Eh, Tatars, not Mansi ... In the Tatar culture, and in the Mansi, I, alas, am not strong.
The tenth question: in what folk craft did Maria Alekseevna Sycheva (Uglovskaya) work - the first woman who was initiated into the secret of drawing drawings from a special alloy for metal? Answer options: A). Dymkovo toy; B). artistic bone carving; AT). Great drawing on silver; G). soldered filigree. And ... in the bull's-eye! Dymkovo toy and artistic carving have nothing to do with metal. There are two answers left, from which it was necessary to choose one correct one. And this is the answer B.
The eighteenth question is a fermented milk drink of Russian cuisine: tan, varenets, yogurt, suorat? Well, it's easy here - Varenets, of course. Tan is not ours, "yogurt" is generally a dependent word, suorat - what is it? Definitely the answer is "B". And the answer is correct.
Question number 28. "Samoyed", "Dzhigit", "Kalmyk", "Yakut" - these are ... the historical names of the ships of the Russian Navy, and not the names of settlements, as I answered. Moreover, it was possible not to know the answer to this question, but only pay attention to the quotes. Eh, but I thought that these were words enclosed in signs ...
In general, it makes no sense to check further - there are two correct answers - and thanks for that. You can say: how can you not know such elementary things? Shameful, no doubt. Or maybe not shameful, but now I know. The total amount of points that could be scored for completing all the tasks is 100, and, God forbid, if I score at least ten. However, I can say with confidence: our Tyumen residents need such dictations.
BY THE WAY
The results of the dictation, the correct answers and analysis of errors will be published on the website on Constitution Day, December 12, 2017. Based on the results of the check, the regions will formulate recommendations for making changes to the curricula in ethnography.
Under this motto, this year our country hosted the international cultural and educational action "Great Ethnographic Dictation", timed to coincide with the national holiday - National Unity Day. Like last year, when it was held for the first time at the initiative of the Federal Agency for Ethnic Affairs and the Ministry of National Policy of Udmurtia, the action covered all 85 regions of the Russian Federation, as well as neighboring countries.
Anyone who knew Russian could become a participant in the project, regardless of citizenship, level of education, social class and religion. More than two thousand sites throughout Russia and in the CIS republics were organized for those wishing to test their erudition in the field of the history and culture of Russia, its numerous nationalities inhabiting it. In addition, online testing was provided on the website of the Great Ethnographic Dictation www.miretno.ru.
In Kalmykia, the organizers of the event were the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Republic together with the Ministry of Education and Science of the Republic of Kazakhstan and the Kalmyk State University. B. B. Gorodovikova. The dictation was held in Elista at the same time at seven sites - National Library. A. M. Amur-Sanana, National Museum of the Republic of Kazakhstan. N. N. Palmova, Elista College of Arts. P. O. Chonkushova, Kalmyk Republican Institute for Advanced Training of Educators, Elista Polytechnic College, Institute of Kalmyk Philology and Oriental Studies, Faculty of Humanities, Faculty of Pedagogical Education and Biology of KalmGU.
At one of them, in the large reading room of the National Library of the Republic of Kazakhstan, at about 10 am, the Head of Kalmykia Alexei Orlov appeared, who for the first time decided to take part in writing an ethnographic dictation in person together with his fellow countrymen. Among them was the correspondent of Stepnye Vesti, who also made her debut at the All-Russian exam in ethnography.
According to the head of the region, such dictations organized over the past few years are not just an educational event, but one of the forms of people's participation in the process of raising civic consciousness, realizing that all of us, residents of a multinational and multi-confessional state, belong to one community - the Russian people . For Kalmykia, the national republic within the Russian Federation, the ethnographic dictation, the topics of its questions, is of particular importance, Alexei Orlov noted. He expressed confidence that the majority of citizens would write it "excellent", and the goal of the action would be achieved: the Russians would feel that they are part of a large common Motherland.
After such an encouraging parting word, the participants of the action began the exciting procedure of writing a dictation. I, too, must admit, it was quite unusual to be, as once in my school and student years, on a written exam. And even though the fate of the certificate or diploma did not depend on him, the feeling of some special solemnity of the moment and the importance of what was happening did not leave him.
The tasks of the dictation consisted of 30 items, the topics of which included both general federal and regional issues. They had to be answered within 45 minutes. Together with the answer sheet, each examinee received a "draft" - a form of self-control, where he could enter the preliminary results of his thoughts. The total amount of points that can be scored for completing all tasks is 30, one point for each correct answer.
Having received all the necessary explanations, the participants of the dictation proceeded to complete the tasks. And they, it should be noted, were not easy. For example, for me, who has always had fives in history and social studies, it was not difficult to answer questions mentioning historical dates and events in the life of Russia. At the same time, questions related to the biographies of prominent personalities in the history of our state, as well as local history and cultural properties, really puzzled me.
In particular, how do you like this task: "Name the well-known folk craft in which Maria Alekseevna Sycheva (Uglovskaya) worked - the first woman initiated into the secret of drawing patterns from a special alloy for metal"? It was necessary to choose one of four answers: a) a Dymkovo toy; b) artistic bone carving; c) Veliky Ustyug blackening on silver; d) soldered filigree. I chose the answer "d". Then, having already checked myself at home on Wikipedia, I found out that my answer was incorrect.
And I got 5 such wrong answers. This is according to my estimates. I immediately thought: I wonder how the Head of Kalmykia wrote the dictation? It is noteworthy that Alexei Maratovich completed the answers in less than 30 minutes. A couple of minutes after him, my "deskmate" father Anthony, a young clergyman of the Elista and Kalmyk diocese, handed over his answer sheet. By the way, I received a hint from him on the question of which of the ancient cities of modern Crimea began the Christianization of Russia. His answer - Korsun (former Chersonese) turned out to be correct.
I will be able to find out the final assessment of my ethnographic knowledge before December 12 by the identification number assigned to me on the project website, where the correct answers to tasks and an analysis of typical mistakes will be published. But in general, according to the idea of the organizers, based on the results of the all-Russian knowledge test in the regions, recommendations will be formulated for making changes to the curricula in ethnography.

The III International Congress of Traditional Artistic Culture, which ended the day before in the regional capital, is not only an exchange of experience between scientists and artists, it is a solution of exciting issues, an outline of future affairs.
Chinese souvenirs from Russia
One of these issues is the creation of an infrastructure for the sale of handicrafts, as well as the fight against counterfeiting. “Unfortunately, part four of the Civil Code, designed to regulate the turnover of intellectual property rights to works of science, literature and art, today excludes works of folk art from the number of objects of copyright and, accordingly, makes it impossible to apply the institution of related rights to it. In my opinion, this is a serious omission of the legislator. And one of the tasks of the Congress is to develop a consolidated opinion and practical recommendations for solving this problem, - said valid state Counselor of the Russian Federation, Grade 3, Associate Professor Yuri Bundin.
Today, the souvenir market is flooded with cheap Chinese fakes, which can be 6 (!) times cheaper than the original. But our masters are especially offended that foreign tourists buy them as a souvenir from Russia.

The participants of the Congress decided to propose to the Ministry of Culture of the Russian Federation to speed up the ratification of the UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Intangible Cultural Heritage, and the subjects of the country are recommended to adopt similar regional laws following the example of Tatarstan. Thus, the issues of folk art culture will rise to the level of the state policy of the Russian Federation.
The second block of measures, which, according to the congress participants, should be taken by the government of the country and the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, is the comprehensive support and popularization of traditional crafts and culture. The resolution included a proposal to hold an annual festival of folk craftsmen, regional competitions, scientific and practical conferences and exhibitions. Doctor of Arts and Professor of the Kabardino-Balkarian University of Nalchik Boris Malbakhov believes that it is necessary to regularly carry out practical work on the revival of art crafts, to identify folk craftsmen and involve them as employees of art crafts system enterprises, to promote the improvement of the personnel training system for such enterprises.
“In Soviet times, great attention was paid to art crafts. At that time, all tourists took local souvenirs as a keepsake. To revive this, investments are needed,” Boris Khasanovich believes.
Artifact Riddles
At the congress, Ugra shared its experience in the field of preserving traditional culture with other regions and countries. The masters of the district are bit by bit reviving forgotten crafts, but not all the secrets of ancient technologies have been revealed by them so far.
More than 20 artists and craftsmen presented their original works at the exhibition "Ceramics - a source of discoveries". The exposition is open at the House-Museum of the People's Artist of the USSR V. Igoshev in Khanty-Mansiysk, until November 26.
“I used the papier-mache technique, and the material was paper, PVA glue, hemp thread, plant materials - grass, branches,” says Inessa Skryabina, artist-designer of the Center for Folk Art and Crafts.- My research work is in recreating the technology of the Bronze Age. To do this, I prepared clay with additives, it rested for several months. And the drawings on the vessels are from archaeological finds.”
Craftswomen from the Kondinsky district Svetlana and Ekaterina Lebedev showed how the ancient inhabitants of Yugra applied patterns to ceramic vessels. Mother and daughter held a master class on ancient turnstiles - special spinning wooden stumps covered with leather.
Ekaterina Lebedeva adds wool to the clay for viscosity and plasticity, and when fired, an interesting color appears on the vessel. She also draws ideas from archaeological finds from sites where settlements used to be. These are Chilimka, Maly Atlym, Barsova Gora, Endyr, Hulyum-sunt, Nizyamy and Luchkino.
“Atlym ceramics has been little studied, especially in our region. The stamps on the ceramics were made so carefully that even modern people cannot repeat this. How was such ceramics made at a time when there was no technology? Neatly, evenly, without rulers and pencils, without a single flaw! Catherine reflects. - Either those peoples had a well-developed eye, or there were some adaptations. And yet - on ceramics, ornaments have never just blurted out. They all had their place. Every cross and every stripe meant something.
How not to dissolve
Master of the Uray branch of the Center for Crafts "School-Workshop of Folk Crafts" Galina Tarasova shows a collection of birch bark snuff boxes. In fact, the snuffbox is now a thing no one needs - they do not use tobacco. The answer to the question “why” has already been prepared - the matter is in ingenious locks on snuff boxes. Of course, they cannot be compared with modern combination locks and safes, but they are made without glue and other fastening materials, which speaks of the then dexterity and ingenuity.
her colleague Ekaterina Smirnova talks about the method of reconstruction and replication of the male and female costume of the merchant class of the cities of Surgut, Mangazeya and Berezovo. The seams at work were done by hand, without using a sewing machine, and the fabrics are selected similar to those found on the territory of these cities.
Chief Curator of the Intersettlement Center of National Trades and Crafts Marina Aypina held a master class on weaving mats. The employees of this institution revived the ancient craft of the Agan Khanty.
“We used to live in tents, and in order to keep the floor warm, grass was first laid on it, then mats, and reindeer skins on top,” said Marina Aipina. - It helped to keep warm in the house. Today, mats are ordered in the center to decorate the interior, or as a gift to loved ones.”
Teremok kindergarten teachers Tatiana Volkova and Marina Zhilyakova came to the congress to get acquainted with the technologies of folk crafts.
“Today we tried to draw, wove mats, made dolls,” Marina Zhilyakova shared her impressions. We will teach our pupils. You need to know our traditions, remember how our ancestors lived, how they created comfort.”
According to the professor of the Moscow State Stroganov Academy of Arts and Industry, Maria Maystrovskaya, Yugra is anxious about the revival of traditional folk crafts and crafts.
“The most important thing in the era of globalization in which we live is not to lose ourselves and not to dissolve in this vast boundless sea of average humanity,” emphasized Maria Maistrovskaya. - And it is in the traditional artistic culture that a person can draw his originality and uniqueness. You do it successfully in Ugra.”

Special opinion
Chairman of the Assembly of Indigenous Peoples of the North Yeremey
Aipin: “I want to say a few words about the Masters. I remembered the story of the "great hunter Bakhtiyarov." Here he sees a beautifully built house and says: “Master!” He had the highest rating. Met a hunter - "Master!". I met a beautiful woman in a beautiful dress - "Master!". Why a great hunter? Periodically, he carved on the trees "here the hunter killed the elk", "here the hunter got the wolverine." But why? He didn't do all that. And then, so that another hunter, following the trail of Bakhtiyarov, sees that the elk is no longer there, and leaves. Let the moose live, multiply. And so, when I meet good researchers, scientists, I always remember Bakhtiyarov. I wish you to be Masters, and that every word of yours that you leave in the souls of our residents of the district will increase our sense of beauty.”
