“…There is a lack of consensus among scholars regarding the usage of the word "Ingrian." Some associate "Ingrians" only with the Ingrian Finns [Karanov 2015;Rappu 2008], some with the Izhors [Kuznetsova, Markus, and Muslimov 2015;Kalinitchev 2011;Kurs 1994], while still others identify all of the indigenous population of Ingria as "Ingrians" [Nissilä 1961and Grünthal 1997quoted in Rappu 2008. In this article, I use "Ingrians" as a common name for all three groups (the Votes, the Izhors, and the Ingrian Finns) that are associated with the historical territory of Ingria.…”

This article presents two case studies examining the musical groups Talomerkit and Ingervala in the context of the late Soviet and post-Soviet reawakening of Finno-Ugric culture in St. Petersburg, Russia. Coming from different ethnic backgrounds, these two groups demonstrate different ways of engaging with local Finno-Ugric traditions. While Talomerkit uses a so-called tradition-based approach with minimal alteration of primary material, Ingervala looks for alternative stylistic choices through electric instruments and electronic sounds. Based on my fieldwork done in June 2018 and May 2019, I present ethnographic observations about Talomerkit and Ingervala’s musical activities and focus on issues related to the repatriation of Finno-Ugric musical heritage to a local community in St. Petersburg after the interruption of these traditional musical practices during the Soviet period. By using ethnomusicological approaches of decolonization, my aim is to foreground the voices of artists and activists who engage with the legacy of a small, non-Slavic Finno-Ugric population indigenous to the lands of present-day St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast. I argue that those autochthonous perspectives are instrumental in challenging the cultural discourse in Anglophone Russian music studies, which predominantly focuses on musical knowledge production through the lens of the Slavic population.

“…According to the census data, only approximately only twenty people self-identified themselves as Votians in 2004 (Kuznetsova, Markus, and Muslimov 2015: 135) For the sake of clarity, I want to draw attention to a lack of consensus among scholars regarding the usage of the word "Ingrian." Some associate "Ingrians" only with the Ingrian Finns (Karanov 2015;Rappu 2008), some with the Izhors (Kuznetsova, Markus, and Muslimov 2015;Kalinitchev 2011;Kurs 1994;Kirkinen 1991), while others (Nissilä 1961and Grünthal 1997cited in Rappu 2008 identify all indigenous population of Ingria as "Ingrians." In this thesis, I use "Ingrians" as a common name for all three groups (the Votes, the Izhors, and the Ingrian Finns) associated with the historical territory of Ingria.…”

Individual variability in sound change was explored at three stages of final vowel reduction and loss in the endangered Finnic varieties of Ingria (subdialects of Ingrian, Votic and Ingrian Finnish). The correlation between the realisation of reduced vowels and their phonemic categorisation by speakers was studied. The correlated results showed that if V was pronounced >70%, its starting loss was not yet perceived, apart from certain frequent elements, but after >70% loss, V was not perceived any more. A split of 50/50 between V and loss in production correlated with the same split in categorisation. At the beginning of a sound change, production is, therefore, more innovative, but after reanalysis, categorisation becomes more innovative and leads the change. The vowel a was the most innovative in terms of loss, u/o were the most conservative, and i was in the middle, while consonantal palatalisation was more salient than labialisation. These differences are based on acoustics, articulation and perception.
