Abstract
The factual basis of the publication consists of typological and cartographic materials of the Historical and Ethnographic Atlas of the Tatar People (volume "Folk costume") and the ethnocultural zoning carried out on their basis, highlighting three distinctive areas. A comparative historical (synchronous and diachronic) analysis of the structural elements of the costume and the features of its decor allows us to state that the Finno-Ugric component, in terms of ethnocultural fullness, constitutes one of the important trends in the cultural genesis of the Volga-Ural Tatars. It is noticeable in the Kazan-Tatar costume complexes, especially in its rural variations, in the clothing complexes of the baptized Tatars of the Central ethnocultural area. In the Western area, the Finno-Ugric component is also evident in all complexes, especially in the Sergach costume. However, to the greatest extent, Finno-Ugric, Samoyed-Ugric traditions are found in the Trans-Ural complex of Tatar clothing of the Eastern area, due to ethnocultural contacts of the Turks and Finno-Ugric peoples in the Ural-Volga region and mediated through the Bashkirs by Siberian Ob-Ugric, Ugric-Samoyedic connections.
