Abstract
The paper summarizes the research findings in the project “Folklore of “nonexistent” villages (features and contexts of existence)”. The highlight of the research project is preservation and continuity of folk art, people's memories amidst the radical changes in the traditional way of life in households and the outlook of people from the northern Russian rural communities. The in-depth and complex, connected with diverse areas of folklore, ethnography and history, this study of remote and “unpromising” villages broadens and refines our understanding of the current socio-economic status of Russian northern settlements, the spiritual culture and mentality of one of the indigenous groups – the Pomors.
