Park in the Kaluga direction ethnopark. Features of existing museum-ethnographic complexes: Ethnoworld, Ethnic Village and others

The dream of seeing the whole world with one's own eyes is common to many people. How to experience it in all its diversity, how to absorb the thousand-year experience of diverse cultures, how to become saturated with the spirit of every people on our Earth? Until recently, this was impossible for the vast majority of people. But recently the situation has changed. 90 km from Moscow, on the border of two regions, Moscow and Kaluga, near the village of Petrovo, the amazing town of “Ethnomir” was built.

"Ethnomir" opened its doors

The cultural and educational center "Ethnomir" gives those who want it the opportunity to get acquainted with life, culture and traditions different nations. Everyone who arrives at the Ethnomir tourist center becomes a real resident of the chosen ethno-yard. Thus, a tourist not only sees, he lives and feels all the diversity of life of a certain ethnic group, enriches himself with new information about his life and traditions.

The uniqueness of the cultural and educational center “Ethnomir” lies precisely in the fact that its various tourist services pursue specific goals:

  • make sure that everyone who comes feels like an indigenous resident of one of the nationalities;
  • so that the guest feels wisdom and beauty cultural traditions of one or another ethnic group;
  • so that the tourist learns some of the skills that a native resident of the country has;
  • and most importantly, the guest will be able to look at the world around him through the eyes of a representative of another nation, and this is very important for maintaining peace on our planet.

After this, the worldview changes from the understanding that the beauty of the world lies in its diversity, that people from different regions, despite all their differences, have a lot in common. That all the inhabitants of the Earth are big family, which simply must live in harmony and mutual understanding for the sake of future generations.

Guardian Wisdom

On the streets of “Ethnomir” there are 40 dwellings lined up, sometimes similar, sometimes radically different from each other. This is a Russian hut, a Belarusian hut, a Ukrainian mud hut, yurts of various nomadic tribes and the houses of many peoples from Japan to America. The center staff called it ethnoyards. All buildings are strictly authentic, even hotels, as well as workshops, museums, souvenir shops, and traditional restaurants.

In each of the ethno-courts there lives a Guardian of Traditions, who will acquaint those arriving with the customs and wisdom of his people, with their holidays and everyday life, tools, mythology, music and legends, and folk dishes.

The main principle in the cultural and educational center, which is sacredly revered there, is the equality of all cultures. And this principle is unchanged, it does not depend on the development of the country, on its wealth or poverty, on its international status, on the number of inhabitants.

Present and future of “Ethnomir”

If desired, the visitor can stay in the chosen hotel and fully immerse himself in the life of another ethnic group. In addition to six ethno-hotels, the cultural and educational center has facilities designed to provide convenience to guests coming to the festivals and make their stay even more interesting. These are five restaurants and cafes, a park and a climbing wall, a kennel for the wonderful husky breed, and souvenir shops. Walking buses, electric cars and bicycles are available for rent. The center is open all year. Traditional folk festivals, larger-scale festivals, excursions, master classes of folk crafts, and educational programs are constantly held there.

On this moment the Ethnomir center is not yet fully completed. By 2020, it is planned to complete the plan, namely, to represent all the nationalities of planet Earth. These grandiose plans received approval not only from local authorities and the Ministries (culture, education) of the Russian Federation, but also from respected international organizations such as UNESCO.

The cultural and educational center “Ethnomir” is just an hour and a half away from Moscow by car along the Minsk or Kyiv highway. You can also get there by train from Kievsky Station. “Ethnomir” is a land filled with respect and love, so it’s good for every person there. Everyone will find what they are looking for there.

“Ethno-village”, “ethnic village” is a rapidly developing phenomenon in the cultural and tourism space of Russia. The term "ethnic village" itself is not established; in relation to such objects the terms “ethnographic”, “national” and even “international” are also used.

Currently, there are about fifty, and over twenty ethnic villages are being designed in different Russian regions - from the Smolensk region to Kamchatka. In many ways, the creation of ethno-villages is associated with the development of tourism (ethnic tourism). There are other reasons.

The concept of an ethno-village can be viewed from different positions. From the perspective of ethnography, an ethno-village is presented as a settlement that has retained its so-called “ethnic type”, with a system of characteristics characterizing traditional culture ethnicity. In the field of tourism, the concept of “ethno-village” is interpreted as a tourist facility, a specially equipped place (complex) for the development of ethnic tourism, as well as in combination with agro-, ecotourism, etc.

From the position of ethnocultural landscape science, an ethnovillage is considered as a new type of cultural landscape, a cultural landscape of the 21st century. In principle, an ethno-village is a simulated cultural landscape. Even in cases where an ethno-village is created on the basis of a real village, the “ethno-village cultural landscape” acts as a model, replica, imitation, and sometimes figurative stylization of a traditional village landscape with all its connecting components (Kalutskov, 2000). It is obvious that the material components of the cultural landscape are better suited for modeling - natural landscape, architecture, village layout, elements of traditional economic activities, agricultural and fishing. However, considerable experience has already been accumulated in modeling spiritual culture. On the basis of ethno-villages, folklore festivals, festive ritual events are held, weddings are celebrated according to ethnic patterns, etc.

Ethnic villages differ in their purpose, functions and specifics. The following goals for creating ethno-villages can be distinguished: preservation of valuable, unique and typical, architectural structures, traditional for the area; demonstration of planning and spatial-organizational ethnic traditions; demonstration of the main economic and fishing characteristics of the ethnic group; carrying out traditional national holidays; organization of ethnocultural tourism.

Among the functions of ethno-villages, the following stand out: the function of protecting objects of ethnographic heritage; educational, educational and educational; recreational and tourist.

Let's consider the origins, formation and current state ethnovillages in our country from the position of ethnocultural landscape studies, as a new type of cultural landscape, dynamically developing in the context of globalization.

Start. In Russia, the creation of ethno-villages in the form of museums of wooden architecture dates back to the 1960-70s. This stage of development of ethno-villages is characterized by a focus on preserving traditional village buildings that are unique and typical for a given region - temples, residential buildings, and utility buildings. The activities of the museum-reserves themselves were dominated by protective and educational functions. Open-air museums in Arkhangelsk “Malye Korely” and Novgorod “Vitoslavitsy” can be called typical for this period. In the organization and functioning of these museum-reserves, the most important principles of their activities are visible:

Regionalism (orientation towards the full territorial coverage of the regional-regional cultural tradition in all its subregional and ethnic occurrences),

Taking into account the cultural diversity of the region (sectoral organization of field exposition in sectors corresponding to the local cultural traditions of the region),

Landscape design (the desire to present not only individual buildings, but their “natural” environment, economic lands and tracts, adequate natural landscape, landscape planning of the museum territory)

Landscape (modeling of the original landscape situation, the desire to convey the harmony of the traditional cultural landscape, its aesthetic interpretation).

The implementation of these principles in a situation of planned state support has yielded results. Already by the 1980s. In many regions, full-fledged cultural and landscape complexes were created that well reflect the architectural, planning, decorative and other features of the regional cultural tradition.

A crisis. On the one hand, the crisis of the 1990s suspended the systematic activities of wooden architecture museums for a long time. For this reason, for example, in the Arkhangelsk museum of wooden architecture “Malye Korely” there is still no sector of Pomeranian culture - the “nuclear” culture for this regional tradition (“We didn’t have time!”). But, on the other hand, there are also positive aspects. Already in the 1980-90s. revitalization of the architectural landscape of museum-reserves occurs through the support of traditional crafts with the organization of fairs on their territory, and subsequently master classes, revival traditional holidays with the invitation of folklore groups, folk craftsmen, musicians, singers, holding folk festivals and competitions. Museum-reserves become centers of regional cultural life, are beginning to work more actively with external tourist flows.

Current situation. In the 2000s. In the situation with ethno-villages, new directions of development have emerged. The active movement to create more and more ethnic villages turned out to be connected not only with the requirements of the tourism sector, but also with global processes, With national policy Subjects of the Federation, with the processes of development of regional and local identity. New types of ethno-villages are emerging, new subtypes of “ethno-village cultural landscapes” - national villages, regional ethno-villages of national republics, local ethno-villages, including ethno-villages of small peoples of Russia, as well as world (global) ethno-villages.

Rice. 1. Ethnic villages in modern Russia

  1. IN new situation the regional principle of organizing ethno-villages received new content. This is manifested in the creation, on the initiative of regional administrations, of the so-called national villages(for example, national villages of the peoples of the Saratov and Orenburg regions). Their creation by the administration is seen as an element of national policy in a multinational region. Architectural authenticity in in this case no longer matters much. The buildings in such ethno-villages are figurative stylizations of different ethno-architectural styles. On the basis of such ethno-villages, ethnographic exhibitions, museums, ethnic clubs, folklore groups. This supports different ethnocultural identities in the regions.
  2. “Regional ethno-villages” of national republics, reflecting the traditional ethnic cultural landscape of the republic, in their spatial organization and operating principles they are close to museums of wooden architecture. The most interesting ethno-villages of this type are located in Chuvashia, the Ibresinsky Open Air Ethnographic Museum, and Buryatia. Ethnographic Museum of the Peoples of Transbaikalia in Verkhnyaya Berezovka, in the Mari-El Republic, Ethnographic Open Air Museum in Kozmodemyansk (Museums of Russia, http://www.museum.ru).
  3. Local ethnovillages, or ethno-villages of local cultural traditions and small peoples of Russia, are created on the initiative of local communities and municipalities. They imitate local landscapes cultural groups. These, for example, include the Pomeranian Tonya Tetrina, an ecological ethnographic complex in the Murmansk region, which is a museum-like fishing camp. Its creators permanently live in the camp; they are engaged in traditional Pomeranian crafts, in which ethno-tourists can also take part. "Museum exhibits" at the camp ( vintage scales, samovar, cast iron pots, boilers, gramophone) are themselves objects of modern use. This is an example of a living cultural landscape, a full-fledged landscape imitation, adaptation to a bygone, but historically attractive cultural tradition.

Activities based on the ethno-villages of small peoples of Russia have a pronounced ecological, cultural, protective nature. In this regard, children's ethnic health centers in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug are interesting, for example, the ethnic camp "Man Uskve", created specifically for children small peoples this territory in order to preserve their culture, peculiarities of their worldview, language and methods of farming, as well as the health of children. The activities of other ethno-villages of small peoples are focused on promoting spiritual culture, familiarizing themselves with the elements material culture, ideological aspects of relationships with nature (complexes “Bakaldyn”, “Us Khatyn”, etc. in Yakutia; Itelmenskaya village, “Menedek” in the Kamchatka Territory; ethnographic complex in the village of Gornoknyazevsk, Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug).

  1. World (global) ethnovillages represent a tourism product designed for entertainment services with an ethnic connotation. Local cultural traditions are usually not taken into account when creating them. "Ethnomir", located in the vicinity of the city of Borovsk, Kaluga region, - shining example commercially large-scale tourism project. It is planned to place about 100 ethnic courtyards on its territory, imitating the life and way of life of the peoples of about 270 countries. Russia as a multinational country will be represented by 12 ethnic yards (peoples of the Caucasus, Volga region, Urals, Far East, Siberia). The houses will house workshops, trading shops, hotels ("ethnic homes" with all amenities) and restaurants national cuisines(“Ethnomir”, http://ethnomir.ru).

A smaller-scale project is the ethnographic complex “Tram” in the Krasnodar Territory (Fadeevo village). It features an eclectically various cultures: elements of European medieval culture(Scandinavian castle, English tower, European mill), Circassian buildings, yurts, and the entrance gates are completely made in chinese style. In addition, the complex has a zoo, which is stylized as a livestock farm, and also contains a stable.

Some conclusions. The ethnic village belongs to the globalization cultural landscapes, representing one of the new types of cultural landscapes of the 21st century - an imitation cultural landscape. At the same time, some ethno-village cultural landscapes are immediately projected as imitatively global (“world village”), while others reflect the originality of the local cultural tradition, sometimes acting as the last stronghold of local identity.

Ethnicity in ethno-villages can be defined both as a museum exhibit and as a living cultural tradition in its various manifestations - from folklore to national cuisine.

The emerging system of ethnic villages in Russia can be considered as the infrastructure of a new type of tourism for the country - ethnocultural tourism (Butuzov, 2009). Tourism, the purpose of which is familiarization with the ethnocultural heritage, is promising for Russia. The country has a rich and diverse ethnocultural heritage, a unique combination of various ethnocultural complexes.

Along with nurturing a tolerant, respectful attitude towards the “other”, towards another culture, which is especially important in the situation of multi-ethnic Russia, ethnic villages contribute to the preservation of diverse cultural traditions, increasing ethnic identity, as well as the formation of the image of the regions, capable of attracting tourists both from Russia and from abroad.

The ethnographic park-museum Ethnomir is a real world in miniature: on the territory of 140 hectares there are thematic corners illustrating the architecture, culture and traditions of different peoples of the planet. “Villages” of Ukraine and Belarus, homes of the countries of Central Asia, a Russian courtyard, creations of architects of the Russian North, Siberia and the Far East, copies of monumental buildings of the countries of South Asia and the amazingly beautiful Street of Peace, which presents blocks copied from real cities in different countries - here is just an incomplete list of the wonders of Ethnoworld. And here you can go inside a real Russian stove, visit the museums of samovars and irons, feel nostalgic for the friendly past at the Museum of the USSR, admire the dolls of the peoples of the world and delve into the intricacies of the process of obtaining honey at the Beekeeping Museum. Themed hotels and restaurants are included, so you don’t have to leave Ethnomir for several days.

IN exhibition complex“Peace Street” you can visit 43 national pavilions of different countries.

What to see

Ethnomir Park is a grandiose complex in the Kaluga region, where you can go on a weekend from Moscow. However, it is better to take several days to visit, or return here more than once. The territory of the complex is divided into 6 ethno-yards, in each of which the flavor of a separate country or geographic region is recreated: “Russian Compound”, “Ukraine and Belarus”, “Countries of Central Asia”, “Museum of the Russian Stove”, “North, Siberia and the Far East” and "Countries of South Asia". Here you can see not only examples of characteristic buildings with completely original interiors, but also stay in a themed ethnic hotel and taste national food. Each ethnic yard also hosts traditional events: folk dances, performances, carnival processions.

In the exhibition complex “Street of Peace” you can visit 43 national pavilions, where they conduct excursions, organize culinary and craft master classes, hold exhibitions and sell folk crafts.

In addition, in Ethnomir it is worth visiting an open-air park dedicated to the peoples of Siberia and the Far East, where you can see 40 dwellings of the indigenous peoples of the North: tents, yurts, log houses, booths and much more.
