摘要：The article introduces folklore materials collected in the twenty-first
century from the Russian population of the mining villages in the Komi Republic,
founded when iron mining started in the area in the middle of the eighteenth
century. The folklore traditions originated from the Russian settlers coming from
the northern, north-eastern, and central provinces of the European part of the
Russian Empire. The author studies the stories of oral historical prose, reflecting
the values of the settlers, events in the course of settling and reclaiming the
territory, the beginning and development of pig iron and iron production, local
dynasties, and information about actual historical prototypes. She also considers
the procedure of forming a folklore repertory in a certain local tradition. By using
historical sources and mass media publications and comparing them to folklore
materials, the author concludes that in the twentieth century, the collective
historical memory was ‘designed’, among others, by resources, the mass media,
and book culture, and that local intellectuals were directly involved in the process.
