В статье рассмотрен научный вклад В.И. Абаева в развитие этно­графической науки по данным Б.А. Калоева. Показана значимость теории субстрата, в разработке которой ученый принимал активное участие с 1920-х гг. Акцентировано внимание на заключении Абаева о том, что в этногенезе осетин превалировал иранский элемент, несмотря на силь­ную местную кавказскую среду, субстрат. В разрезе этой темы проана­лизированы выступления Абаева на конференциях по этногенезу балкар­цев и карачаевцев и осетин. Как значительный вклад в проблему этно­генеза оценена теория ареальной лингвистики исследователя. Изучены работы Абаева в области языка скифов. Выявлены скифо-сарматские черты в материальной и духовной культуре осетин. В качестве важней­шего этнографического источника рассмотрен «Историко-этимологи­ческий словарь осетинского языка» ученого. В нем дано объяснение исто­рико-культурного значения и происхождения многих вопросов общего кав­казоведения, касающихся этногенеза и этнической истории, предметов материальной и духовной культуры, фольклора, мифологии, религии и т. д. Сосредоточено внимание на том, что в словаре большое внимание уделено аланам и осетинским этническим группам. Показан большой вклад Абаева в разработку этноязыковых и этнокультурных контактов алан-осетин с соседними народами Кавказа.

В жизни грузинской диаспоры Северной Осетии в последние годы важным событием стал праздник Ломисоба. Он проводится в первую среду после дня Святой Троицы в окрестностях селения Балта, расположенного на Военно-грузинской дороге. Истоки этого праздника уходят в грузинский регион Мтиулети, где местные жители почитают св. Георгия Ломисского, именной праздник которого – Ломисоба – ежегодно проводится в селении Млета. Грузины Балты, как и жители соседних селений Чми и Нижний Ларс, сохраняют в быту немало народных традиций из сферы духовной культуры (народные верования, семейная и календарная обрядность); отчасти этому способствует сохранение постоянных контактов c сородичами из соседних районов Грузии. Праздники в большинстве полиэтничных регионов Кавказа, как правило, всегда создавали благоприятные условия для общения представителей не только разных народов, но и разных конфессий. Как свидетельствуют собранные материалы, эта особенность праздничной культуры сохраняется и в наши дни. In recent years, the Lomisoba holiday has become an important event in life of the Georgian diaspora in North Ossetia. It is held on the first Wednesday after the Holy Trinity (Troitsa) in the vicinity of the village Balta, located on the Georgian Military Highway. The origins of this holiday go to the Georgian region of Mtiuleti, where locals venerate St. George of Lomisy, whose personal holiday – Lomisoba – is held annually in the village Mleta. The Georgians of Balta, as well as the inhabitants of the neighboring villages Chmi and Nizhny Lars, maintain many folk traditions from the sphere of spiritual culture (folk beliefs, family and calendar rituals). This is partly due to the maintenance of constant contacts with relatives from neighboring regions of Georgia. As a rule, holidays in most of the multi-ethnic regions of the Caucasus have always created favorable conditions for communication between representatives not only of different peoples, but also of different confessions. According to the collected materials, this is still the case for the festive culture.

The article is devoted to the analysis of one of the key serpentine characters – Azhdakha in the folk art and religious and mystical representations of the Bashkirs. The purpose of the work is to analyze the ideas associated with the image of Azhdakha basing on folklore and field materials, and to try to identify its origins. The scientific novelty of the article lies in the fact that this work is the first attempt to study the reasons for the veneration of the image of Azhdakha among the Bashkirs. And this makes it possible to recreate certain aspects in the ethnic history of the Bashkir people, helps to identify the historical and genetic roots of their spiritual culture. The methodological basis of the research is the principle of analytical and retrospective analysis of literary, folklore and linguistic sources. This paper is the first to systematize and analyze historical-ethnographic and folklore-linguistic materials on the topic under consideration. Folklore information and field materials of the author, first translated into Russian by the author, are introduced into scientific circulation. The practical significance of the research lies in the fact that the presented materials contribute to the disclosure of the genetic roots of snake deification in the folklore and mythology of the Bashkirs, and can be used by ethnographers and folklorists in their comparative historical studies. Having studied the problem, the author came to the conclusion that in the Bashkir religious-mythological and folklore tradition, the image of Azhdakha was formed on the basis of further evolution of primitive totemic ideas about the snake-totem, totemic ancestor and patron spirit and is a consequence of its sacralization. In the religious and mystical visions of the Bashkirs, this image became a negative character as a result of defeat in ethno-cultural and interreligious clashes, as well as due to descendants’ inadequate perception of the most ancient totemic incarnation-initiation rites and speculations. Formation of ideas about the image of Azhdakha among the Bashkirs occurred not only under the influence of Indo-Iranian folklore and mythological traditions. In this process, in addition to the ancient Aryan hunters and gatherers (cattlemen and grain-growers), the ancestors of the Afrasian peoples, as well as the Dakho-Turan-Turkic tribal formations, took part.

Introduction. The article deals with the history of studying traditional settlements and dwellings. The authors pay attention to the analysis of medieval mentions of Mordovians in the works of European missionaries and oriental travelers. The contribution of domestic and foreign researchers in the study of material and spiritual culture of the Mordovian ethnos is considered. Based on the works of Soviet scientists shows the transformation of some architectural and structural details in the development of settlements, housing and economic buildings of the Mordovian people. Modern tendencies in ethnographic studying of a traditional economic and inhabited complex of constructions of Mordovian people are revealed. Materials and Methods. The research is based on the following methods: comparative-historical, historical-genetic, problem chronological, structural-systemic. Among the general scientific methods of research, logical, descriptive, narrative, generalizations, classifications and systematization were used. Numerous works on the topic of research of domestic and foreign authors were analyzed. Results and Discussion. Interest in the study of traditional settlements, dwellings and outbuildings of Mordovians arose quite long ago. The historiography on this issue can be divided into three periods: pre-revolutionary, Soviet and post-Soviet. If in the sources up to the XVIII century could be found only fragments of information on the topic of interest to us, then with the beginning of the reforms of Peter I interest in the study of peoples who lived in the Russian Empire, increases. The Russian Academy of Sciences organized a number of scientific expeditions for comprehensive analysis of the life activities of the peoples of Russia. P. S. Pallas, I. I. Lepekhin, N. P. Rychkov, I. P. Falk, I. G. Georgi and other researchers of the 18th century made a significant contribution to the study of traditional culture of the peoples of Russia and, in particular, of Mordovia. In the XIX century, with the creation of the Russian Geographical Society in 1845, was published a number of scientific papers, which are quite deeply and in detail considered the features of material and spiritual culture of Mordovians. During the Soviet period ethnographic expeditions became regular. Thanks to this, valuable information on the history and traditional culture of the Mordovian people was collected. Among the Soviet researchers who made a significant contribution to the study of Mordovians settlements and dwellings, we should remember N. P. Makushin, V. N. Belitzer, V. A. Balashov, E. I. Goryunova, P. D. Stepanov, V. F. Vavilin and others. In the post-Soviet period, the problem of studying Mordovians settlements and dwellings is still relevant. For example, a number of scientific works by M. V. Suldinsky were devoted to the study of the semantics of Mordovians peasant dwellings; various aspects of this topic were covered in the works of N. F. Mokshin, G. A. Kornishina, A. S. Luzgin, E. N. Mokshina, V. B. Makhaev, A. I. Merkulov, M. I. Svyatkin and others. Conclusion. Thus, the settlements, dwellings, and farm buildings of Mordovians were the objects of study by many researchers.
