HISTORICAL AND CULTURAL HERITAGE OF UST-TSYLMA: STUDY AND PRESERVATION
Ust Tsylma is known as the Old Believers' center of the European North-East, where the confessional traditions are maintained, and folklore poetry, calendar and family rituals are still common. The author examines the stages of the study of the traditional culture of the Russian Old Believers with the self-given name "Ust-Tsyljoma". The study covers the four main areas (folklore study, archeography, ethnography, dialect study).
