[Ura-list] Tatiana Vladykina (1953 - 2024) in memoriam

[Esa-Jussi Salminen]

Udmurt folklorist, professor Tatiana Vladykina (8.09.1953-4.05.2024) has
died.  Tatiana Vladykina was one of the most important and well-known
folklorists of Russia and Finno-Ugric world.

  Tatiana Vladykina was Doctor of Philology, Professor of Folkloristics,
laureate of the State award of the Udmurt Republic in the field of
literature and art, foreign honorary member of the Finno-Ugric Society
(Finland), laureate of the "Soul of Udmurtia” award of the Udmurt Republic
in the field of traditional culture and leading researcher of the
Department of Philological Research of the Udmurt Institute of History,
Language and Literature.

The main field of her scientific activity was the traditional culture of
the Udmurts, genres and figurative system of Udmurt folklore. She graduated
from the Udmurt State University in 1975, and in 1975–1978 she was a
doctoral student at the University of Tartu. She collected, studied and
published Udmurt folklore since 1972. Since 1978 she organized expeditions
to collect folklore and ethnographic materials. She supervised the
compilation and publication of the Udmurt Folklore collection, a series of
books “Cultural Monuments. Folklore Heritage” and “Udmurt Ritual Alphabet”.

Tatiana Vladykina is the author of more than 300 publications (monographs,
scientific articles, popular scientific and popular publications,
educational and teaching aids), scientific editor of dozens of books on the
problems of Udmurt folklore research in the context of traditional cultures
of the Ural–Volga region peoples and kindred Finno-Ugric peoples.

Personally I remember her beginning from the year 1997, when she, among
other top scholars, read me individual lectures of Udmurt folklore.

This is an enormous loss for the studies of Finno-Ugric folkloristics.
