- Abstract
- A type-written copy of the manuscript of a collection on the Shors Folklore, which was prepared by Olga Blagoveshchenskaya in 1951 but never published, has been discovered at the archives of the State Literary Museum in Moscow in 2007. This article examines and discusses the structure and content of the manuscript, as well as the history of Russian-language records that it contained. The author subjects to scrutiny the principles employed in the preparation of records and texts that had been selected for publication by Blagoveshchenskaya, and undertakes a juxtaposition of a number of the texts with Shors originals available at other Russian archives. He further draws on published works on the Shors folklore and ethnography for comparison purposes. The article is supplemented with a sample epic text from the Shors Folklore collection
