Introduction. The classification of the Northwest dialect of the Mari language is currently not entirely clear. According to the Encyclopedia of the Mari El Republic, the “Northwest Mari language exhibits some features of both Hill Mari and Meadow-Eastern Mari languages.” However, G. Bereсzki believed that the Northwest dialect belongs to the Hill Mari language. The aim of the study is to analyze the linguistic similarity assessment of the language of the first Gospel created by Priest S. Bobrovsky (1821) and the dialect of the 20^th century according to the data of I. G. Ivanov and G. M. Tuzharov, in relation to the Hill and Meadow Mari languages from the perspective of glottochronology.

Materials and Methods. To assess the proximity of the Northwestern Mari dialect of the 18^th–19^th centuries to the Meadow and Hill Mari dialects, phonetic isoglosses and glottochronology were analysed. For this purpose, a glossed corpus of the first Gospel was uploaded on LingvoDoc, from which a concordance was created. Proprietary LingvoDoc programs were applied to it for comparative-historical analysis.

Result and Discussion. As a result, it was found that in the 19^th century, the first Northwest Mari Gospel showed a lexical similarity of 97% with Meadow Mari and 94% with Hill Mari. In the dictionary compiled in the 20^th century, there was already significantly less similarity with both Meadow and Hill languages, but the same pattern persisted: lexically, the Northwest dialect in the 19^th century and in the 20^th century was closer to Meadow Mari. Kreknin’s and Platunov’s 18^th-century dictionary practically matched the Meadow Mari book “Beginnings of Christian Doctrine...” created in the early 19^th century, with only one diagnostic position showing double reflection. In the Gospel translated by Priest S. Bobrovsky, three positions already showed reflection typical of the Hill Mari grammar by A. Albinsky.

Conclusion. Therefore, it becomes clear that initially in the 18^th century, Northwestern Mari differed little from the Meadow Mari language, while by the 19^th century, it had become much closer to the Hill Mari dialect. The materials of the article may be useful for specialists in the Mari and Finno-Ugric languages.

Introduction. The study of poetic anthroponymy is not an active research strategy in Finno-Ugric studies. Questions regarding the semantic potential of a character's name within the content-meaning structure of the text remain on the periphery of the research interest of national scholars. This article focuses on the anthroponymy in the prose by T. Bargova as the subject of special research. The aim of the study is to determine the functional-semantic features of anthroponyms and naming models in the author’s works.

Materials and Methods. The research material was the stories and novel "God, forgive me!" by T. Bargova. The work uses such traditional methods of linguistic research as descriptive, functional-semantic, structural, comparative-historical, as well as such modern approaches to the study of literary text as interpretive and gender ones.

Results and Discussion. The authors determined the models and principles of naming and the structure of anthroponyms in the stories and novel "God, forgive me!" by T. Bargova. It described and revealed the functions of anthroponyms in the content structure of the works, their role in reflecting the realities of modern and historical reality, and the reconstruction of the national model of the world. In the author's works, anthroponyms become multifunctional components, perform text-forming, emotional-stylistic, evaluative, informational, conceptual functions, and convey a national flavor. The choice of the name and form of the anthroponym is determined by the chronotope of the work, the author's axiological concept, the originality of the creative worldview and the specifics of female writing.

Conclusion. The conclusions made by the authors contribute to the development of poetic onomastics in Finno-Ugric linguistics and can be useful in the process of teaching philological disciplines at a university. The prospects for further research of the problem are related to the study of the functional semantics of anthroponyms in the works of other Mordovian writers.

Introduction. The article examines films about cooperation that were part of the repertoire of cooperative film exhibitions for rural film distribution in Karelia. The relevance of the topic is determined by the visual turn in historical research and the lack of works on this topic. The purpose of the study is to study the content of rural distribution in Karelia with cooperative films that were at the disposal of the Karelian-Prioneyezhsky Union of Consumer Societies; to consider the plots and content of the films; to find out their ideological and artistic potential for conducting cooperative agitation and propaganda.

Materials and Methods. The sources of the research are the documents from the National Archive of the Republic of Karelia, materials from the funds of regional cooperative unions, the Karelian Regional Committee of the RCP (b) – CPSU (b) and the People's Commissariat of Education of the AKSSR. Along with archival documents, published materials about films of the 1920s were used. The research is based on an interdisciplinary approach. When working on the material, both general methods of the humanities (analysis and synthesis) and specific historical methods (historical narrative, statistical) were used.

Results and Discussion. The author of the article examined the works of cinema art created in the 1920s to indoctrinate cooperative ideas in rural society and shown in the villages of the Autonomous Karelian Soviet Socialist Republic. The article analyzes the repertoire of cooperative films for rural distribution; examines the plot and presents the content of films about cooperation in the 1920s. It also describes the work of cooperative film tours “to promote cinema in the village”, including in rural cooperatives with a diverse national composition; it reveals a positive attitude of the audience to cooperative cinema. The significance of cinema as an important means of visual representation of cooperative ideas for the incorporation of new members into cooperatives during the NEP period is determined. The study managed to find information confirming the influence of film propaganda with the help of cooperative films on the process of involving rural residents of Karelia in cooperation, which was manifested in the development of cooperative construction, expansion of cooperative work and an increase in the number of shareholders in consumer societies.

Conclusion. At the end of the 1920s, feature films, documentaries and cartoons about cooperation made up almost half of the repertoire of film exhibitions of the Karelo-Prionezh Union of Consumer Societies. They demonstrated ways of organizing a village cooperative, reflected the participation of women in cooperation, and the importance of cooperative trade in the fight against private owners and shopkeepers. The author's conclusions contribute to the study of the development of cooperative cinematography in the 1920s as part of the general cultural and educational work of cooperative associations. The results of the study in general and the analysis of the cooperative repertoire of rural film tours in particular supplement the information on the history of culture and cinematography of Karelia and make possible the similar scientific research in other regions of the country. The practical significance of the study lies in establishing the continuity of the traditions of public organizations and the possibility of using historical experience in the socio-cultural activities of modern cooperative members in Russia.

Introduction. The transformation of the information space entails changes in the communication practices of the speakers of various ethnic cultures. Internet resources combined with traditional media provide new, previously unknown opportunities for the presentation and broadcasting of cultural values and unique features of ethnic groups. This situation actualizes the need to study the level of the use of media products in the languages of various ethnic groups. One of the objectives of the study is to assess the media us of the residents of the Republic of Mordovia in the languages of the titular ethnic groups.

Materials and Methods. The methodological basis was the data of sociological studies. The article summarizes the results of a representative questionnaire "Interethnic, ethno-confessional relations, language situation and migration processes in the Republic of Mordovia" conducted in 2022 and 2023, and a survey of experts "Ethnolanguage situation in the Republic of Mordovia" conducted in September 2023.

Results and Discussion. The results of the study of the language preferences of the population allow stating the predominant demand for Russian-language media products among the majority of the respondents. The audience of television, radio broadcasts, and printed materials in Moksha, Erzya, and Tatar languages is a small proportion of the respondents of Mordovian/Tatar nationalities. The main reasons for the rejection of media in the Moksha and Erzya languages were the lack of knowledge of the languages and lack of interest in the content of media products in the Mordovian languages. It is revealed that the content of media resources in a minority language is mostly indifferent to the native speakers themselves, who make up the target audience. The largest proportion of the respondents who found it difficult to answer was also noted among Moksha and Erzya population.

Conclusion. In order to attract the interest of a wider audience to the products of the republican media in the Mordovian/Tatar languages, it is advisable to conduct a marketing study of the preferences of consumers of media resources. It is necessary to change the concept of forming programs and broadcasts in the language of the indigenous peoples of the Republic, provide them with more rated airtime, and attract the readership with popular headings, collections or pages for various age groups, interesting and creative projects, continue broadcasting educational cycle programs that allow everyone to master Mordovian/Tatar language. It is advisable to expand the presence of national languages in the most popular Internet resources. At the same time, the content should not be formal or official. The materials of the article may be useful for researchers and government representatives interested in the problems of preserving, popularizing and promoting media resources in the languages of the titular ethnic groups.

Introduction. The article considers the discovery of a unique object in the Lovozero tundra – the chapel of the Lyavozersky churchyard on Lake Chesynyavr. Monuments of Orthodox Sami culture in the Murmansk region have rarely been studied by specialists The purpose of the study is to introduce into the research circulation the information about existing documents on the history of the chapel, the results of expeditionary work on its survey, and to continue the discussion about the time of construction and the stages of history.

Materials and Methods. The research was based on archival documents and expedition materials. The research is based on the principle of historicism using the comparative historical method.

Results and Discussion. The chapel was found in 2002. Expeditions to study it took place in 2016 and 2019. The first documentary report specifically about this monument dates back to 1828. After the change of the site of the winter churchyard of the Semiostrovsky Sami, the chapel was not moved along with the dwellings and remained "in the forest". With the formation of the Lovozersky churchyard, it reappears in official documents, already being called the Chapel of the Nativity. In 1895, it was expanded and renovated. It was abandoned in the 1930s.

Conclusions. When analyzing archival documents, it is suggested that the chapel was built in 1681. Its history can be traced back to the 1930s. According to the authors, the thesis of the "dual faith" of the Sami, which has been formed in the regional literature, requires revision. The fact of the existence of an Orthodox chapel in the Lovozersk tundra speaks about the stable Christian worldview of the indigenous population of this part of the Kola Peninsula.
