My current research activity is focused around few main fields. The first of them is the ethnological studies of the East-Slavic peasantry in Siberia and the Far East of Russia in the period from the middle of 19th century up to the present times. These studies are based on the field materials which includes oral histories and visual fixation of objects of material culture, as well as on literary and archival sources. The main subjects of these studies are ethnocultural identity, interethnic interactions, adaptation processes, traditional subsistence systems, folk beliefs and rituals of Russian, Ukrainian and Belarusian peasant-migrants of the second half of 19th – the beginning of the 20th centuries, which have lived in the Asian part or Russia. The second field of my research interests is related to interdisciplinary studies of social and ecological aspects of sustainability of the Arctic urban areas in the situation of global climate changes. This field of interest includes urban socio-environmental interactions, ecosystem services, Winter Cities concept, using of cryogenic natural recourses in subsistence and economic activity.

явлений знаково-смыслового пространства традиционной культуры и идентичности русского и других восточно-славянских народов Сибири с учетом их многообразия в XIX – первой трети ХХ в., когда закладывались основы регионального и этнокультурного самоосознания. Всесторонне рассмотрен вопрос существования общесибирской идентичности (объединяющей все сибирские
административные единицы, области и края) и особенностей ее формирования, а также вариантов визуализации образа Сибири и «сибирскости» в процессе поисков собственной идентичности.
Для этнографов, антропологов, историков, культурологов, краеведов, студентов и всех, кто интересуется культурой и образом жизни русских и других восточно-славянских народов, проживающих в Сибири.
On the basis of many years of field ethnographic materials, the authors of the collective monograph made an attempt to reveal the diversity of identities of the ethnocultural groups of Russian old-timers of Siberia and Altai (chaldons, Siberians, Old Believers), as well as Belarusian and Ukrainian settlers of the 19th - early 20th centuries. For the first time, the task was set to analyze the connection between specific phenomena of the sign-semantic space of traditional culture and the identity of the Russian and other East Slavic peoples of Siberia, taking into account their diversity in the 19th - the first third of the 20th century, when the foundations of regional and ethno-cultural self-awareness were laid. The issue of the existence of a common Siberian identity (uniting all Siberian administrative units, regions and territories) and the features of its formation, as well as options for visualizing the image of Siberia and “Siberianness” in the process of searching for one’s own identity, are comprehensively considered.
For ethnographers, anthropologists, historians, culturologists, local historians, students and anyone interested in the culture and lifestyle of Russians and other East Slavic peoples living in Siberia.
