Abstract

The article is devoted to the history of ethnological research at the Institute of Language, Literature and History of the Karelian Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sciences and is dedicated to its 90th anniversary. It identifies the main areas of ethnological research, the most important achievements and their practical application. The first attempts to create an ethnographic field in ILLH were undertaken in the early 1930s. However, in those years, any study and propaganda of national cultures were regarded as manifestation of nationalism. At the end of the 1950s, the first ethnographic research group was created at ILLH, which worked until the mid-1960s. New ethnographers and the first ethno-sociologists appeared in the 1970s. The 1980s were the most favorable period for the development of academic ethnographic research, when an independent sector of ethnology was established in ILLH. The post-perestroika period was characterized by an increase in public interest in publications about national traditions of the peoples of Karelia and by emigration and departure of some employees of the ethnological sector to governmental institutions. The undoubted achievements of the first decade of the XXI century include publication of individual fundamental works and participation in projects of the Institute of Ethnology. The main factors that influenced the development of ethnological research in the academic science of Karelia were the socio-political and economic situation in the country, the dominant orientations in the central ethnological institutions of Russia and the nature of the Karelian Territory as a multinational and border region.
