Abstract
The article makes an attempt to reveal the variety of types and identify criteria for identifying individuals with local ethnocultural groups of Russian old-timers in the foothills of the Southern Altai for the period of the late XIX - early XX centuries. based on materials from ethnographic expeditions in 1978–2000. The author’s approach is to investigate this problem based on the analysis of collective folk names of groups (nicknames), without highlighting any one and taking into account opinions among neighbors from nearby villages. As a result of the study, the processes of the development of historical consciousness and the interaction of culturally different groups were traced, which was reflected in the dynamics of the spread of collective folk names.
