Abstract
The article examines the dialectological and folklore fieldwork organized between 1924 and 1930 by the prominent linguist and literary scholar Viktor Zhirmunskii. Zhirmunskii conducted his fieldwork in the ethnic German communities of the Southern USSR (Ukraine, Crimea, Transcaucasia), as well as in the Leningrad region. Unpublished field materials are held at the archive of the St. Petersburg’s Division of the Russian Academy of Sciences and in the archive of the Institute of Russian Literature ( Pushkinskii Dom ). These materials include field reports, which describe noteworthy details on the goals, participants, collected data, and the itineraries of the aforementioned expeditions. These valuable materials shed light upon some understudied aspects of Zhirmunskii’s life and work.
