Abstract
The article comprises a review of a new volume of the academic series “Peoples and cultures” published by the Institute of “Ethnology and Anthropology” of Russian Academy of Sciences (Евреи / отв. ред. Т. Г. Емельяненко, Е. Э. Носенко-Штейн. Институт этнологии и антропологии им. Н. Н. Миклухо-Маклая РАН). The articles of the volume describe the material culture and ethnography of the Jews especially dealing with the communities of Russia and Eastern Europe. One of the most important achievements of the volume is a huge number of ethnographic field materials collected by its authors in different regions of the former Soviet Union and Russian Empire. Most of its articles (with a few exceptions mentioned in the review) are written at a high scholarly level. Therefore, this volume will occupy an important place among the Russian language reference literature on Judaica.
