Abstract
The article is devoted to the origin and content of the concept of and in the Russian populist studies. Both terms appeared in the early twentieth century to refer to the right wing of the liberal populism. But they reflect different interpretations of the populist ideology: wide (of populism) and narrow (of marxism). The term cultural populism (originated from cultural work) reflects the desire of right-wing populists to create sociocultural prerequisites for changing the existing social order. The term kulturnichesky populism (from the German kulturtrager), by the recognition of the Marxists themselves, was designed to discredit the populist program of social work in the countryside, allegedly aimed at reconciliation with reality. Most modern scholars following the tradition continue to use the concept of kulturnichesky populism and cultural work, sharing their biased interpretation. Not by chance in the scientific and educational literature, cultural- direction is still associated with indifference with respect to political life and at the same time petty-bourgeois liberalism. According to the author, this approach not only distorts the ideas of populists-uplifters but also diminishes their contribution to the development of populist ideas of 1880-1890s. Therefore, for specialists in the history of legal it is recommended to use a more correct terms cultural populism and cultural work.

Summary
Both terms appeared in the early twentieth century to refer to the right wing of the liberal populism. Для обозначения правого крыла легального народничества, но отражают различные интерпретации его идеологии: широкую – народническую и узкую – марксистскую. Термин «культурное народничество» (от «культурная работа») акцентирует внимание на стремлении народников к созданию социокультурных предпосылок для изменения существующего общественного строя. Этот подход не только искажает идеи народников-культурников, но и умаляет их вклад в развитие народнической мысли 1880–1890-х гг., поэтому для специалистов по истории легального народничества рекомендуется употребление более корректных терминов «культурное народничество» и «культурная работа».
