Abstract: Tatiana Vladimirovna Stanyukovich (1916–1992) was a prominent ethnographer, author of famous works on the history of the Kunstkamera Museum, the Ethnographic Museum, and an expert on material culture of East Slavic peoples. Overall, the conference was convinced of the permeability of the boundaries between “traditional” ethnography and “modern” social anthropology, Soviet and post-Soviet, Russian and international science, despite all the differences of the methodological basis, analytical level of the presentations and the obvious force of the inertial process. The scientific event has demonstrated that current issues in the study of material culture in domestic ethnography (anthropology), as well as in the world of science, associated with the processes of incorporating new things in the tradition, “the invention of tradition,” construction of group identity, the commercialisation of the subject of ethnic symbols and influence on these processes of political and economic factors. However, in the structure of the conference as well as in the content of the reports, the installation on continuity was manifested stronger than the setup on the discussion. This was in line with the main function of the event to pay tribute and respect to the particular scientist and personality.

Keywords: T. V. Stanyukovich, memorial conference, material culture, Soviet and post-Soviet ethnography.
