Annotation

A major part of the museum as a center of preservation of ethnic cultures of the peoples of Russia belongs in ethno tourism. During the expeditions to the Permskiy region, Vladimir and Moscow regions, we studied them in order to collect materials about Mordovians. According to the 2002 census, the number of Mordovians in the Arkhangelsk region was 944 persons in the Murmansk region – was 2 479 people. We hope that together with ethnographers' educational institutions and museums of the northern region, we can begin to study the Mordovian diaspora in the social space of the Arctic and North.
