UDC 908, 379.85 M.V. Gudkovskikh SPORT TOURISM IN KHMAO - YUGRA Tyumen State University, 625003, Tyumen, st. Semakova, 10; e-mail: [email protected] The article considers the tourist opportunities for the development of tourism in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug - Ugra. The state of active sports tourism in the district is characterized in detail, examples of water and walking routes are given. The main distinguishing features of the tourist potential of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra are highlighted. Key words: tourism, sports active tourism, route, tourism in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra. The Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug has natural and socio-economic prerequisites for the development of tourism. However, Yugra tourism has never been a generally recognized tourist region. The territory of the Okrug does not have outstanding natural objects, however, Ugra has a serious potential and a large number of attractions for the development of many types of tourism, including sports. The number of foreign tourists who entered the territory of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug - Yugra in 2013 amounted to 15.6 thousand people. The total tourist flow amounted to 451.0 thousand people. The main regions for the arrival of tourists in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Yugra were Moscow and the Moscow Region, St. Petersburg, as well as the regions of the Ural Federal District. According to the Department of Tourism of the Department of Natural Resources and the Non-Resource Sector of the Economy of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Yugra, the main flow of tourists comes to the Okrug for business purposes. The famous Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug in Russia and beyond its borders is made, first of all, by the developed oil and gas complex. The Yugra land occupies a leading position among the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in terms of industrial production, electricity production, oil and gas production, the volume of investments in fixed capital and tax revenues to the budget system. Since 1960, oil production has been carried out on its territory. At the moment, more than 10 billion tons of oil have been produced in Yugra since the beginning of the development of the oil and gas province of Western Siberia. The Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug produces about 7% of world oil and more than half of Russian oil. A distinctive feature of the region is the high income of the population. In 2013, according to Rosstat, the average monthly salary in the Khanty-Mansiysk Okrug - Ugra was almost 50,000 rubles. According to this indicator, the district ranks second in the Urals Federal District after the neighbor Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District and a high 6th place in Russia. The high material well-being of the region has a positive effect on the development of domestic tourism. On the territory of the district there are monuments of history and culture: museums, theaters, archaeological complexes, as well as modern infrastructure for lovers of cultural, educational, recreational and outdoor activities. Residents and guests of Ugra are offered 288 cultural and educational tours and excursion programs, of which 39 are ecological and ethnographic 1 directions. Tourist routes are developed taking into account visits to sights, museums and natural parks of the Autonomous Okrug. Khanty-Mansiysk is the center of event and business tourism. The main part of international and Russian business, scientific, cultural and sports events is held in the Okrug capital. These are the World and Russian Biathlon Championships, the World Cup and the stage of the Russian Chess Cup, the World Chess Olympiad, International competitions in overcoming obstacles (show jumping), the World Boxing Cup among oil countries, the International Festival of Cinematographic Debuts "Spirit of Fire", the World Congress of Finno -Ugric peoples, the International Ecological Action "To Save and Preserve" and others. International event events of the Autonomous Okrug - sports competitions, festivals and forums open Ugra to foreigners as a unique Siberian land. According to the Tourism Department of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Yugra, during the last Biathlon World Championship in 2011, the total number of tourists was 56,553 people. And the final stage of the Biathlon World Cup, held in March 2013 in Khanty-Mansiysk, was attended by more than 40 thousand people. On Yugra land there is a place for the development of ecological tourism. There are two state reserves in the district: "Yugansky" and "Malaya Sosva", four natural parks: "Kondinsky Lakes", "Numto", "Samarovskiy Chugas", "Siberian Ridges", along which ecological routes are conducted, for example, a weekend route along the Bolshoy Akh River, and a water route along the Kondinsky Lakes system. In addition, there are 11 protected areas in the Okrug, including 3 of federal significance. 7 natural monuments, and wetlands of international importance occupy a special place in the system of territorial protection of the Autonomous Okrug. All of them allow the development of ecological tourism. Special routes along ecological paths, organization of ecological and ethnographic expeditions enable tourists to get acquainted with the ecosystem of the region and its historical and cultural heritage. Resources for the development of cultural and educational tourism are represented by historical and cultural sights. In total, there are 35 museums and their branches on the territory of the Autonomous Okrug, including 6 state ones: the State Art Museum, the Gallery-workshop of the artist G. S. Raisheva, House-Museum of the People's Artist of the USSR V.A. Igoshev, the Museum of Geology, Oil and Gas, the Museum of Nature and Man and the open-air ethnographic museum "Torum Maa". In Yugra, the Khanty, Mansi and Nenets still lead a traditional way of life. Tourists can see with their own eyes the way of life of the descendants of the ancient Ob Ugrians, having been on ethnographic tours. They are organized in the national settlements of the Nizhnevartovsk, Khanty-Mansiysk, Surgut, Berezovsky and Beloyarsky regions. The national holidays of the indigenous peoples of the Okrug, which are popular among tourists, are regularly held: the Day of the Reindeer Breeder, the Day of the Indigenous Peoples of the North "Crow's Day", the Day of the Fisherman, the Bear Holiday and others. 2 Classical sports tourism mainly attracts areas with mountainous terrain, but the vast territories of our country do not have such riches in the tourist sense. Due to the geographical conditions of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Ugra is located on the world's largest plain. The West Siberian Plain occupies the 3rd place in the world in terms of area, being also the largest lowland with an absolute height of less than 200 m. Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug - Yugra is located in the central part of the West Siberian Plain and includes its flattest sections. The highest is the territory of the Siberian Uvals with a height of 200-300 m within the district. However, the largest areas in terms of area are occupied by flat plains with phenomenal bogging and lakes. Despite the general opinion about the flatness of the relief of the region, the western parts of the district are quite diverse and represent the foothills and mountains of the Urals. The highest points of the district are Mount Narodnaya (1895 m) - the highest point of the Ural Mountains in the Subpolar Urals and Mount Pedy (1010 m) in the Northern Urals. The mountain range stretches along the entire western border of the district for 450 km and extends for a width of 45 km. At the moment, active sports tourism is in its infancy, there are only mentions of tourist travels, characteristics of objects and general tourist opportunities. Sustainable routes have not yet developed. There are emerging needs in the form of sports clubs of interest, for example, the Numi-Torum active recreation club in the city of Yugorsk. A significant sports active trip within the district was the tourist expedition "Necklace of Ugra", leader Kasatkin A.M. in 2011-2013 During this period, walking trips were made along the borders of the Khanty-Mansiysk Okrug with visits to the most significant geographical objects.

The Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug has significant recreational resources, which are expressed in the presence of various landscapes, from plains to mid-mountain relief (in the Subpolar Urals - with alpine features). The main tourist and recreational zones for the development of ecological tourism in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug - Ugra are represented by the Western and Northern zones.

There are two state reserves here: Yugansky and Malaya Sosva, four natural parks: Siberian Uvaly, Kondinsky Lakes, Samarovsky Chugas, Numto, three federal nature reserves: Verkhne-Kondinsky, Vaspuholsky, Elizarovsky and four - of district significance: Sorumsky, Untorsky, "Vogulka", Berezovsky.

Natural parks have accumulated some experience in organizing ecological and scientific tourism, equipped with ecological trails, various fascinating routes, ecological programs and tours, ecological and ethnographic expeditions that allow to fully explore the ecosystem of the Autonomous Okrug and get acquainted with the sights of historical and cultural heritage.

Tourist companies of the Autonomous Okrug, when developing excursion routes, include in their programs the most interesting and informative natural objects of the Autonomous Okrug.

The total number of tourists visiting natural parks in 2009 amounted to 12.5 thousand people, which is 52% less than in 2010 (19.0 thousand people), and 70% less than in 2011. (21.3 thousand people). With the creation and improvement of conditions for the development of ecological tourism in the promising territories of the Autonomous Okrug (including the development of new attractive routes and infrastructure), this direction of tourism can provide an additional influx of tourists of over 30,000 people a year. For the development of ecotourism, it is necessary to create legal and economic conditions for tourism companies to develop tourism infrastructure in natural parks and other specially protected natural areas in Berezovsky, Sovetsky, Kondinsky, Beloyarsky, Khanty-Mansiysk and Nizhnevartovsky districts.

The historical and cultural potential of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug - Yugra is an important competitive advantage of the tourism industry of the Autonomous Okrug. Travels for cultural and educational purposes account for about 19% of the internal flow. In 2009, 74.6 thousand people visited the Autonomous Okrug for such purposes, which is 3.5% less than in 2010 (72.0 thousand people), and 1.8% more than in 2011 ( 76.0 thousand people)

The museum expositions of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug - Ugra are able to provide a full-fledged attractive excursion program for guests and residents of the Autonomous Okrug.

In total, 36 museums and their branches operate on the territory of the Autonomous Okrug, including 4 state ones: the State Art Museum, the Museum of Geology, Oil and Gas, the Museum of Nature and Man and the open-air ethnographic museum "Torum Maa".

Indigenous peoples of the North (Khanty, Mansi and Nenets) have been living on the territory of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug - Yugra for three millennia, in many ways, it is the original culture of the indigenous peoples of the North, rites and rituals, ethnic musical folklore, traditional crafts and crafts that form prospects for the development of ethnographic tourism in the Autonomous Okrug.

However, the current situation in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug in the field of tourism shows that the implemented set of state measures to develop tourism infrastructure (provision of grants from the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug - Yugra) does not have a decisive influence on a positive change in the situation.

It is necessary to increase this state support for the development of infrastructure for various types of tourism, along with information support for domestic and inbound tourism, as well as improving the quality of services provided.

For the development of ecological tourism in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug, there are the necessary recreational resources: more than 2000 rivers, more than 800 plant species, 42 fish species, more than 50 mammal species, etc.

With the correct formation, adaptation and functioning of the model for the development of ecological tourism in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, the following result should be expected:

Sustainable use of natural resources;

Ensuring the conservation of natural and cultural diversity;

Increasing the level of environmental education of visitors;

Saving costs for environmental protection measures;

Support for the local economy through the tax base of attracting enterprises;

Participation of the local population in the development of tourism and their receipt of financial and other benefits from this activity.

Due to the underdeveloped tourism infrastructure, tourism business is constrained. However, with the development of the road network, the accessibility of wild corners of nature will increase, their appearance will inevitably change. The attractiveness of such places for ecological tours will decrease. This process is well known to countries with developed mass tourism. It is necessary to think over in advance a possible, and, most importantly, sufficient network of communications (highways, roads, trails) and service complexes. To preserve the wild look of nature as much as possible (including the feeling of inaccessibility of its remote corners), but at the same time give the opportunity to enjoy this wildness.

Introduction

In Russia, there are many regions whose cultural and tourism potential has not yet been fully appreciated and not fully disclosed. One of these regions, of course, is Yugra, or the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug.

The Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug is located in the middle part of Russia. It occupies the central part of the West Siberian Plain. In the north, the district borders on the Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug, in the northwest - on the Republic of Komi, in the southwest - on the Sverdlovsk Region, in the south - on the Tobolsk and Uvatsky districts of the Tyumen Region, in the southeast and east - on the Tomsk Region and the Krasnoyarsk Territory.

The Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug is known throughout the world, primarily as an oil and gas producing region. However, recently the Ugra authorities have been making a lot of efforts to break this stereotype and promote themselves as a tourist destination as well. There are many objective preconditions for such advancement. The Okrug has huge natural reserves that contribute to the development of sports and recreational recreation; Ugra is a most interesting region in terms of archeology, anthropology and ethnography, and it can become a true center for the development of ethnographic tourism. This determines the relevance of the work.

The purpose of the work is to study the potential of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug as a territory for the potential development of ethnographic tourism in Russia.

Work tasks:

) present a scientific and informational essay about the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug;

) give a description of the tourist ethnographic route "Yugorskaya Land".

b) Natural environment

The relief of the KhMAO territory is represented by a combination of plains, foothills and mountains. Elevated plains (150-301 m), low-lying (100-150 m), as well as lowlands (less than 100 m) stand out. In the floodplains of the Ob and Irtysh, the absolute heights are 10-50 m. The Ural part of the district is characterized by a mid-mountain relief. The length of the mountainous region is 450 km with a width of 30-45 km. Maximum heights: Narodnaya, 1894 m (Polar Urals) and Pedy, 1010 m (Northern Urals).

The soil cover is very diverse. A podzolic soil-forming process develops in riverine drained areas. On watersheds with low surface and ground runoff, semi-hydromorphic soils predominate, which are usually replaced by bog soils in the central part. On rocks of heavy mechanical composition, gleyozems and gley-podzolic soils are found, on sandy and sandy loamy rocks - illuvial-ferruginous, illuvial-ferruginous-humus and illuvial-humus podzols. For the floodplain The Ob is characterized by a complex combination of alluvial, soddy, meadow and marsh soils. In the mountainous part, tundra, coarse-humus, fragmentary and mountainous primitive organogenic-rubbly soils are common.

Vegetation is represented by communities of forests, swamps, meadows, reservoirs, and mountain tundra. The forest cover of the district is 52.1%. The zone of middle taiga dominates. It is represented by dark coniferous, light coniferous, small-leaved and mixed forests. They grow spruce, cedar, larch, fir, pine. Meadow vegetation is confined to floodplains and lowlands. All in. lichen communities used as reindeer pastures are common in areas. Forests and swamps are rich in fruit and food types of vegetation: cranberries, lingonberries, blueberries, blueberries, currants, cloudberries, raspberries, wild roses, bird cherry, mountain ash.

The fauna of the district is made up of fox, arctic fox, squirrel, sable, marten, ermine, weasel, polecat, mink, weasel, otter, hare, mole, chipmunk, wild reindeer, elk, etc. Bird: geese, goose, capercaillie, black grouse, hazel grouse, partridges, ducks, sandpipers. 42 species of fish live in the reservoirs, including highly valuable commercial ones - sturgeon, sterlet, nelma, muksun, whitefish (shokur), cheese peled, whitefish (pyzhyan), Sosvinskaya herring (tugun).

The main minerals are oil and gas. The largest oil and gas fields are Samotlor, Fedorovskoye, Mamontovskoye, and Priobskoye. Alluvial gold, vein quartz and collection raw materials are mined in the district. Deposits of brown and black coal have been discovered. Deposits of iron ores, copper, zinc, lead, niobium, tantalum, manifestations of bauxites, etc. have been discovered. Deposits of decorative stone, brick-and-claydite clays, building sands are being prepared for development. Within the Urals on the territory of the district, rocks have been identified that have high filtration and sorption properties. These include zeolite-containing rocks, volcanic formations, etc. Among other things, operational reserves of mineral (iodine-bromine) waters have been explored and approved in the KhMAO.

c) Historical path

The first evidence of the conquest of Yugra by the Russians dates back to the 12th-13th centuries. In the annals, this time is marked by frequent trips of Novgorodians to Ugra to collect tribute - furs of sables, ermines, arctic foxes and squirrels.

The legendary campaigns of Yermak had a huge influence on the process of joining Yugra to the Muscovite state. Having defeated Khan Kuchum and occupied Isker, the capital of the Siberian Khanate, Yermak sent a small detachment of Cossacks down the Irtysh at the end of the winter of 1583. The detachment led by the Pentecostal Bogdan Bryazga (according to other sources - Ataman Nikita Pan), having passed through the lands of the Konda-Pelymsky Voguls, approached the "walls" of the Samarovo town. Caught by a sudden attack by the Cossacks, the Ostyaks retreated. The prince of the Belogorsk principality, Samar, was also killed. A little later, after the death of Yermak, in the autumn of 1585, the Cossacks, under the leadership of the governor Ivan Mansurov, founded the first Russian fortified settlement, the Ob town, at the mouth of the Irtysh on the right bank of the Ob River. Thus, the Mansi and Khanty lands of Yugra became part of the Russian state.

The Yugra towns that appeared in the Ob North began to serve as a place of trade. In the most busy areas, special stations for changing horses - "pits" arose. In 1637, two pits were built - Demyansky and Samarovsky. On the basis of the latter, over time, the city of Khanty-Mansiysk grew up, which today has become the center of the KhMAO.

d) The uniqueness of culture and art

Today, on the territory of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug - Yugra, 4705 objects of cultural heritage are under state protection. All of them are unique, and some are truly unique. These are, in particular, Kazymsky (Yuilsky) prison, Emder Settlement and Barsova Gora.

Archaeological and ethnographic complex Kazymsky (Yuilsky) prison(Fig. 2) is located in the lower reaches of the river. Won-Voshyugan left tributary of the river. Kazym, downstream of the river. Kazym from the modern village of Yuilsk.

Rice. 2. Kazymsky (Yuilsky) prison

Sources of the 18th century testify to the existence of a prison on Kazym. So, in 1748, the Berezovskaya voivodship office reported to higher authorities about the number of quartered Cossacks “at the maintenance of prisons for the protection of yasash Ostyaks from thieves’ Samoyeds” and noted, in particular, that there were four Cossacks in Kazymsky prison. Actually, this document allowed historians to establish the authenticity of the existence on Kazym not of an abstract stronghold, but of a very specific prison.

In 2008 G.P. Vedmid conducted comprehensive topographic and archaeological surveys, during which it turned out that the Kazymsky (Yuilsky) prison is an object consisting of at least three components: a fortified Russian settlement - the Kazymsky prison settlement; the ancient Khanty (Nenets) settlement - the settlement of Yuilsky town; operating today, especially revered among the local indigenous population of the Khanty - the sanctuary of Voshn Aki. This allowed scientists to conclude that the monument is valuable both from the point of view of historical, scientific, and from the standpoint of its further popularization and use. In particular, graphic and natural reconstructions in order to organize educational tourism.

Another unique historical and architectural monument on the territory of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug is Settlement Emderlocated in the vicinity of the city of Nyagan. At one time, Emder was a real principality, the borders of which adjoined the left bank of the Ob, in particular, the basin of the Endyr river and the Endyr channel. From the south and west, Emder bordered on the Kondinsky principality. The Principality of Emder lost its independence by the end of the 16th century. In historical sources, the Principality of Emder is mentioned in connection with the campaigns of the detachments of Yermak and the governor Ivan Mansurov. But in addition to written (documentary) sources, there are oral sources - folk legends, legends and epics glorifying the military and love exploits of the brave princes of Emder.

Today, archaeological excavations are being carried out on the territory of the Emder settlement. Already carried out surveys have shown that the settlement is distinguished by skillfully made defensive structures, developed infrastructure for foundry, blacksmithing, and bone carving. This place is especially interesting because here you can see with your own eyes the storehouses, stoves, sacrificial places of the Khanty and Mansi, take part in the Crow and Bear holidays, admire pagan dances, and try fresh venison. In winter, reindeer sled and snowmobile safaris are held on the territory of the complex. But the most important thing that is available here is getting to know the living carriers of the unique cultures of the Khanty and Mansi.

A unique archaeological site located on the territory of Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug is also Barsova mountain. This most valuable object of cultural heritage is located 8-15 km west of the city of Surgut and is a unique archaeological complex not only in Western Siberia, but also in the Russian Federation as a whole. In fact, the archaeological sites of Barsovaya Gora are a “layer cake” containing diverse information on the settlement of the middle Ob region over the course of seven millennia. The earliest archaeological sites date back to the Neolithic era, traces of all later eras are also clearly visible, including archaeological sites of the 18th-19th centuries and even ethnographic monuments of the early 20th century (settlements, sanctuaries, traces of hunting traps). Currently, a museum-reserve is being created on Barsovaya Gora.

In addition to these major monuments of history and archeology, there are many others on the territory of the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug. As the researchers note, the heritage of the Yugra land is represented mainly by archaeological and ethno-cultural objects; out of 4,000 registered objects, archaeological monuments make up 94%, memorial sites - 3%, historical monuments - 2%, architectural - 1%. These circumstances determine the specifics of the development of historical, cultural and ethnographic tourism in the district.

A special object of cultural heritage of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug is the original traditional culture of the Khanty and Mansi - semi-sedentary hunters and fishermen, who from time immemorial were engaged in reindeer breeding in the north, and cattle breeding in the south.

e) Features of modern life

The specificity of the Okrug's economy is associated with the discovery of the richest oil and gas fields here. In the sectoral structure of industrial production, the oil and gas industry accounts for 89.4%, the electric power industry - 5.5%, mechanical engineering and metalworking - 2.4%, gas processing - 1.6%, logging and woodworking - 0.24%, production of building materials - 0 .24%, food - 0.17%, oil refining - 0.1%.

The Okrug is the main oil and gas region of Russia and one of the largest oil-producing regions in the world, belongs to the donor regions of Russia and leads in a number of key economic indicators:

I place - in terms of industrial production;

I place - in oil production;

I place - for the production of electricity;

II place - in gas production;

2nd place - by volume investment in fixed assets.

The natural conditions of the district are not conducive to the development of agriculture. Therefore, most of the agricultural and food products are imported from other regions of Russia.

2. Nefteyugansk

The city of Nefteyugansk is located 250 km east of Khanty-Mansiysk, within the Sredneobskaya lowland, on the Ob and its Yuganskaya Ob. The city arose from the village of Ust-Balyk, and got its name from its location at the confluence of the river. Balyk in the channel Yuganskaya Ob. The growth of the village began in the 1960s after the discovery in 1961 and the development of the Ust-Balyk oil field. In 1964, it was transformed into an urban-type settlement, and since 1967 it received the status of a city with the name Nefteyugansk.

Over the past decades, the city has developed as the main base for oil production in the Middle Ob region. Today Nefteyugansk is the center of a large oil-producing region with a developed industrial base, a network of transport, public utilities, trade, cultural and consumer services. The main enterprise that determines the city's economy is OAO Yuganskneftegaz, whose activities cover the territory of three regions: the cities of Nefteyugansk and Pyt-Yakh, as well as the Nefteyugansk region.

The main objects of display during the sightseeing tour of Nefteyugansk:

1) Well R-62- a monument to the initial years of the development of the oil wealth of the Yugansk land. The R-62 well is the first oil gusher, which opened a new page in the history of the development of this territory. The drilling of the R-62 well was completed in September 1961. The team of foreman Lagutin built the well. No one could confidently say whether the oil would be or the horizons would be water-bearing, but the 22nd Congress of the CPSU was about to begin, and everyone wanted to make a real gift by this day - to discover an oil field. On October 10, tests began on the R-62. Round-the-clock communication was established with the drilling rig. A few hours later, a dispatch came: “Water with an oil film was received at the facility ...”. Then another message comes: "The well is being blown by the compressor." A few minutes later, a message from Ust-Balyk: “The well is gushing with oil, visually the flow rate is 300 tons…”. Thus, a gift to the congress was made.

2) "Piglet” is the name of the place often used in Nefteyugansk in the zone of the coastal part of the city, where the first landing of geologists and builders landed in 1961. Here, on the high bank of the Yuganskaya Ob, on a small patch of solid land surrounded by taiga and swamps, the only place suitable for construction, the assembly of houses began on the first street of the village. In the early 1960s, the residential, administrative and commercial center of the village was located on the "patch". Today, the Piglet territory has changed a lot. The cultural center "Ob" and the building of the registry office are located in this area. On the embankment, a place has been allocated for the construction of the historical and architectural complex "Museum of the Ob River", dedicated to the history of the formation of the city of Nefteyugansk and the development of the oil and gas complex.

3) Stela "Youth" -sculptural personification of the youth of the city, installed in honor of the fifth anniversary of the city of Nefteyugansk in 1973. The stele is a granite girl with a bowl in her hands. Located near the house of culture "Youth".

The monument was erected on the territory of the Holy Spirit Orthodox Church in tribute to the memory of the development and annexation of the Siberian land to the Russian State.

The ethnographic nature of the tour implies a walking tour in Punxi Yurts- a complex of traditional economic and residential buildings, commercial and religious objects of the Yugan Khanty group, located near Lake Bolshoye Kayukovo. In the vicinity of the lake, several families live today, leading a traditional economy and preserving the national way of life. Several archaeological sites are also located in the lake area. The most interesting of them is Kayukovo 2, a Neolithic settlement (fortified settlement). The charred remains of wooden structures are well preserved in the cultural layer of the site, which makes it possible to reconstruct this object with maximum reliability. Today it is almost the only definite settlement of the Stone Age in Western Siberia. The study of this monument will provide important information on the history of the settlement of the Ob North. Currently, work is underway on a project to preserve traditional buildings and create an exposition of the ethnographic settlement of the Yugan Khanty in the vicinity of Lake Bolshoye Kayukovo.

3. Surgut and Surgut region

Surgut district is the largest in the Khanty-Mansiysk district in terms of population and industrial production. Its area is 105 thousand square kilometers. The administrative center of the district is the city of Surgut, one of the first Russian cities in Siberia. Founded in 1594 on the site of an Ostyak fortress.

Mansi Tourist Autonomous Okrug

Yuvan Shestalov was the first in the history of his people to turn to the richest treasures of ancient Mansi tales, legends and songs. Before him, none of the writers tried to process, introduce them into modern verse. Shestalov set himself the goal of breathing “the soul of life” into the ancient legends, to make sure that in a modern poem they do not look like frozen museum ethnographic exhibits, so that legends and songs, without losing their ancient, gray-haired history, sound modern, helping the knowledge of being, knowledge of the moral, philosophical, social problems of our time.

Currently, Yu. Shestalov lives in St. Petersburg, since 1991 he has been publishing the Sterkh magazine. The vocation of the magazine, as conceived by the creator, is to bring together all the peoples of the Finno-Ugric group, showing the originality of each.

Brief Mansi phrasebook:

Os Yomas Ulum! - Goodbye!

Pussyn Yomassyg Vos Oly! - Everything is fine!

Kantlyn Manyl Poyten - Sorry!

A-A - Yes.ti - No.

Yomasyakweg Tepyalen! - Bon appetit!

Pumasipa! - Thanks!

Nan Mansi Latnyl Potyrtegyn? - Do you speak Mansi?

Encyclopedia of life Mansi:

The National costume:traditional Mansi women's clothing is represented by a dress, a swinging satin or cloth robe, and a fur coat. The national men's costume is made up of a shirt, trousers, deaf clothing with a hood made of cloth or deer skins (malitsa, goose).

Kitchen:traditional Mansi dishes were prepared from dried, dried, fried at the stake, frozen fish and meat.

Settlements and dwellings:Mansi led a semi-sedentary lifestyle, moving in different seasons of the year from one fishing area to another. The settlements were permanent (winter) and seasonal (at the fishing grounds). Traditional dwellings in summer are conical birch bark tents or quadrangular huts made of poles covered with birch bark, in winter - rectangular log houses, for reindeer breeders - covered with tent skins. The dwelling was heated and illuminated by a chuval - an open hearth made of poles coated with clay. For baking bread, clay ovens were built far from the dwellings.

Mansi traditions

Occupations and trades:Mansi's traditional occupations are hunting. On the Ob and in the lower reaches of the Northern Syusva, in the upper reaches of the Lozva, Lyapin and Northern Sosva, reindeer breeding is widespread. It was borrowed from the Nenets in the XIII-XIV centuries. Some Mansi groups have developed agriculture and cattle breeding, as well as poultry breeding. Mansi traveled by boat (sometimes with birch bark tops), skis, sleds (in dog and reindeer sleds), and in some areas - on sledges or special horse sleds.

Mansi families:families were large (from several married couples) and small (from one couple). The form of marriage is mainly patrilocal, when the wife left for the husband's group. Phenomena of surviving matrilocality also persisted (for some time a husband could live in his wife's family).

Holidays and rituals of the Mansi:

The most famous festival among the Mansi, as well as among the Khanty, is the bear holiday. Many modern celebrations are timed to coincide with the dates of the Orthodox calendar. Of the spring holidays, the most significant is Urine Hotel Ekva - Crow's Day, celebrated on the Annunciation (April 7). It is believed that on this day the crow brings spring, acts as the patroness of women and children. This holiday is associated with the desire for the reproduction of life, the well-being of the family, especially children.

In late May - early June, Mansi celebrate the days of fishermen, hold competitions on boats, kindle a fire, sacrifices, joint meals, shamanistic rituals in order to find out at what time the fish will appear and in what places it is better to catch it.

Mansi autumn holidays are associated with hunting, especially with the beginning of fur hunting, first of all, Pokrov (October 14). Among the reindeer herders, Ilyin's Day (August 2), which coincides with the end of the molting of deer, is most revered.

Myths and legends of the Mansi:

The mythological picture divides the Mansi world into three tiers. On the upper tier is Torum, the personification of the sky, the root cause of goodness. On the middle tier - the earth people live. The lower tier is the underground world of dark and evil forces.

Mansi folklore:

The folklore of the Mansi people is very extensive and diverse. A significant part of it is made up of legends and traditions. One of them is presented below.

Mansi legend

A long time ago, when deer were not friends with people, when the Khanty and Mansi did not travel, did not fly, but walked through forests and swamps, they got food for themselves and the wise ancient old people used to say: ”, - at the top of the Naydennaya river there was a camp of the ancient Mansi. Everyone in the camp had children, only the spirits did not send children to one family. For a long time, the husband and wife asked the spirits to send them a child.

And so, when their life went to old age, like day to evening, their daughter was born. Parents began to think about what to name her.

I would choose a name that would bring her happiness, ”the mother thought aloud. - Call it a party, or what? However, the evening is a time for rest, sleep, no matter how our daughter grows up lazy and sleepy.

Don't be afraid, mother, - said the father. - Morning dawns in the evening. Let's call it the Supper, maybe the daughter will see in her life the light of the morning dawn from the evening.

You, father, hit fairy tales, ”the mother objected.

Our fairy tales are also born at bright fires in the evening, - answered the father. - And after fairy tales, beautiful dreams are dreamed, strength is added in the arms and legs, the shoulders become strong, the back bends less to the ground. Let the Party be for people an evening fairy tale with a hot living fire in the heart, let it warm people's hearts with its warmth.

The mother agreed. I took my baby and carried it to the fire to show it to everyone.

The wise old woman looked at the girl for the longest time, and then said:

My people, this girl is not like the children I have seen. On her face, as in the sky, two dawns converge - evening and morning. It will bring a lot of joy to all of us.

Mansi, delighted with the words of the wise woman, perked up, began to sing and dance around the fire. Only Compolen - the Swamp Spirit got angry, ran through the swamps and forests with a wild cry and squeal. He flew into the trees - the trees broke and with a groan fell dead to the ground. The birds got scared and scattered in different directions. The animals ran away to different urmans1, the fish lay down on the bottom of the river.

Everyone was scared away by Compolen - the Swamp Spirit: he could not stand it when people rejoiced.

The fire went out - the joy of the people went out. It became hard to live. Mansi walked from morning to evening through the forests and urmans, looking for the beast, but found little. Vecherina had already grown up, she began to go hunting, but the hunt was still poor and unsuccessful.

Once Party was returning from hunting and stumbled upon a small, weak deer in the forest. He lay with his legs outstretched and his head thrown back, like a broken twig in a drought. Vecherina realized that the deer's mother had died somewhere. The girl took it and carried it home. She walked for a long time, she was very tired. It was hard to go with a live load, but joyfully.

Goes and whispers:

Live, baby, live. I'll bring it home - I'll drink the fish soup, and you'll get better.

The ear replaced milk for the deer, he began to rise to his feet and eat juicy grass. And when he was fully grown, Vecherina began to take him to the best feeding places. She grazes the whole day, and in the evening she makes a smoker, sits herself on a stump, and the oleshek settles down at her feet. The party sings soft lullabies to him. Smoky smoke repels mosquitoes, an affectionate song evokes a dream. The deer closes its eyes. And Vecherina strokes the bumps on his head with a warm palm and sings about that. What her older mother, the Earth, taught her, and that the younger mother, shaking her, sang:

Hush, Little Baby, Do not Say a Word,

I sing a quiet song.

Sleep, dear little one,

Gain strength.

Legs will be strong

The horns will also grow.

Like pines, branchy,

Like the sun, radiant:

Lower your eyelashes

You will have a dream

You go through the forest to people -

You carry the sun on your feet.

Let the horns grow

Not from evil, but from good.

Already the fawn was fast asleep, and the Party sang and sang. The birches half-asleep sang along with her, the golden pines quietly played along. Only restless aspen leaves trembled and quietly whispered to each other:

Oh, the evil Spirit Compolen would not have heard these songs.

Owl overheard their whisper and sang loudly:

Boo Boo Boo! Do not be afraid of the villain: the swallows plugged his ears, caulked the earth.

Oleshek sleeps, the earth sleeps, and the clouds have long laid down on the dark sides. The wind dozed off in the forest under the trees. Only the breezes over the deer, over the Party quietly fly - they listen to the song. Then they took the breezes in their palms a quiet song and the smoke from the smoker and carried it through the forests, distributed it to the animals.

And the animals were drawn to the smoker and the Party. The deer came first, followed by the moose. The bear came, turned his nose to the smoker.

For many days Vecherina at the smoker received animals, guarded them from mosquitoes and sang songs to them. Oleshek was already strong, cheered up, he ran with deer and elks, frolicked, butted heads - he tried his strength.

How long, how short it lasted, only that time has passed. They fed the fawn, gave water to drink, washed the rains, whitened the snow, and the winds taught courage. He became an adult, strong, handsome. He did not walk in the herd, but floated in a white pure cloud.

Now he not only came to the smokehouse himself in the evenings, but also brought many friends. And Vecherina spent whole days gathering dry stumps and tree mushrooms, laying out many smokestacks, lulling everyone to sleep with a quiet, heartfelt song.

Summer passed, autumn came, white snowflake mosquitoes swirled. Vesperina's heart grew cold. I thought: her deer friends would leave her. To whom will she sing lullabies? The smart White Deer understood her, approached her, touched her hands and cheeks with warm lips, as if saying: “We will be with you, my sister, just call.”

The party was delighted, thanked the White Deer, then put on a harness embroidered with patterns, decorated the horns with bright ribbons, sat on light sleds, took a carved polecat (a long pole that is controlled by deer) in her hands. The White Deer pushed off the ground with its light strong legs and soared high into the sky. And he swam across the sky like a bird soaring, lightly touching the sky with branches of decorated horns, - stripes in the sky from deer horns swayed. Vecherina extended her hand, touched them - and the stripes came to life, sparkled, flashed with bright living colors of the northern lights.

The iridescent multicolor of colors embraced the icy Mansi land, penetrated into the huts through small windows covered with frosted Mansi bubbles instead of glass, lit up the dark corners of the low huts, and lit up the faces of the Mansi yearning for light with joy. It overwhelmed their hearts with joy and called them under the colored sky, into the crackling frost.

The Mansi ran out into the street, saw Vesperina and her White Deer under the rainbow sky. And they slowly floated under the blazing stripes, lightly touching them, like the strings of an ancient sankvaltap (stringed musical instrument), giving birth to colored music. Music flooded over the sky, rolled down to the ground and delighted the Mansi.

Since those long, long time ago, on frosty nights, when the northern sky lights up with multi-colored radiance, the Mansi have a holiday: they go out into the street to dance, and the Party is invisibly spinning with them.
