The boundaries of the reception and interpretation of local folklore in the works of local historians (studying the concept of folk singularity)

The article describes the emergence of local narrative models, ritual practices that are born in the minds of local historians of the Russian North identifying their knowledge with a “place of memory” (P. Nora), which does not quite correspond to the real historical process of self-reflection of local folklore culture. The studied essays of local historians show the mutual influence and interchange of social and cultural elements of different northern Russian traditions, distinguished by their “behavior” and “appearance”, perhaps by their content, and most importantly - by the architectonics of folk singularity.
