Abstract
In 1909, the Hungarian scientist Gyula Meszaros visited the Bashkirs and collected a unique ethnographic collection. His research took place on the actual territory of the districts Baymak, Abzelilovsky of the Republic of Bashkortostan, the Kurgan region, and the Perm region. The trip, which was initially organized to collect information confirming the Bashkir-Hungarian kinship, did not achieve its goal, since Meszaros, after three months of work, came to the conclusion that there were no ethnic ties between the two nations. However, his collection which is now kept in the Ethnographic Museum of Budapest is one of the most valuable sources in the study of the ethnography of the Bashkirs. It consists of household items, household facilities, clothing of the Bashkirs, as well as unique photographs illustrating the life of the Bashkir nomads of the early 20th century.
