Koshaev V.B. The Problem of Terminology in Folk Art: According to the Materials of the Encyclopedia "Udmurt Republic: Art and Applied Arts and Art Craft". // Theory and History of Art. 2023. N 3/4, p.358–374
Over the three decades of the new Russian history, the science of folk art has experienced significant losses in the perspective of art history — along with the liquidation of the system of factories of art goods, the Ministries of local industry as management regulators, the technological resources of the folk arts and crafts industry have suffered, as well as the scientific environment — the Research Institute of Artistic industry and the museum was disbanded, created on the basis of the former Commercial and Industrial Museum of Handicrafts of the Moscow Provincial Zemstvo (1885), the purpose of which was to promote the development of handicrafts. In 1946, the museum was renamed the Museum of Folk Art NIIHP. At the same time, regions began to show interest in folk art, apparently in the search for what is called national and cultural identity, which was reflected in the initiatives of the Governments of a number of Republics to create network projects for the "revival" of folk arts and crafts in the regions, as well as educational methods of studying in systems education and school programs. Of great importance is the work in a number of regions on the formation of materials that include a description of the heritage and, which is very important, dictionaries and encyclopedias. The article describes the experience of creating the Encyclopedia "Udmurt Republic: Arts and Crafts" as one of the regional schools of the Russian Federation.
