Abstract: This article describes an interdisciplinary effort between scholars, street artists and curators centered on a public art project, “Tales of the Golden Apples”, in an industrial Russian city. This project included research and analysis of the local identity of the city and the region, and translation of it into the language of art. The project’s location determined the terms for a new methodological approach. A team of folklorists, religion scholars, ethnographers and urban anthropologists collected folklore beliefs and oral histories characteristic of the region in a series of surveys. An anthropological study based on more than 40 in-depth interviews and ethnographic fieldwork was carried out in Almetyevsk region. Street artists were then asked to create works of art based on oral histories and folklore material gathered by the researchers. It is important that it was specifically folklore and oral memories of the past that became the basis for the public art program, and this initiative may be called one of the possible applications of what R. Beals wrote of as “applied folklore” in the 1950s. According to the results of this applied research, we have identified three blocks of oral narratives transmitted by the residents of Almetyevsk: 1) the connection of the urban and the rural, 2) the peaceful co-existence of different ethnic and religious groups within the city, 3) the attempt of the establishment to join the cutting-edge urbanistic trend. The analytical paper was employed by the curators of the public-art program and artists to incorporate folklore and oral history into the space of the city. Street art and public art revealed the “ugly truth” about the city to its residents. The Defender mural by the artist Fikos in Almetyevsk has demonstrated how a public art painting can provoke active protest from the local community. Thus, redesigning urban space under the public art program was quite prone to instigate protest self-organization of local Russian and Tatar communities.

The research was conducted under the RANEPA research project “Folklore ideologies and behavioral strategies in contemporary cities”.

Abstract: The paper dwells upon strategies and tactics of cultural consumption among young Petersburgers. Basing on a series of expert interviews and in-depth interviews with target audience we demonstrate specific local features of their needs, and models for developing trajectories of cultural consumption. They are determined by perceived importance of horizontal social connections used as a source of information about cultural events, valuing free choice of trajectories (including freedom of movement within a cultural institution, self-scheduling the pace of one’s consumption, fluidity and comfort of space, opportunity to co-produce culture rather than to be a passive observer), certain predictability of the programme, and possibilities of redevelopment of social connections during cultural consumption. We demonstrate that cultural consumption in Saint Petersburg is built in everyday routine processes, and due to that it is determined by trajectories of transport mobility: culture becomes concentrated in the “golden triangle” of city centre (though a need for peripheral cultural events and attractions is also articulated), nevertheless the city centre environment factor limits the variety of events which are considered appropriate in the area.

Abstract: This article attempts to recreate the collective anthropological self-reflection that demonstrates how professionals face the multiple ethical complications that arise during both fieldwork and processing of the collected materials, during communication with customers, colleagues and informants. Apart from the theory, this brief study is based on 8 expert interviews with professional anthropologists working both in applied research and in academia.
The questions that precede the analysis of the interviews are as follows. How should we understand “ethics” and “ethical behavior” in applied social sciences? Where should the line be drawn between formal ethical requirements (codes) and real ethical complications?
Highlighting major ethical issues, the colleagues argue that there are three fields of responsibility that anthropologists have to focus at: communication with informants, communication with sponsors and communication with the “anthropological” corporation. In communication with their respondents, researchers face ethical dilemmas at the stage of “entering” the field, in the moment of self-representation, at the beginning of the fieldwork and while writing final reports as well. Dealing with sponsors and partners, anthropologists have to answer the question of whether they are able to be unbiased. Furthermore, one’s responsibility towards the professional community equals one’s responsibility towards oneself. Furthermore, one’s responsibility towards the professional community equals one’s responsibility towards oneself. The correctness of the research and of presentation of its results, controversies in academic and applied approaches are considered in the last part of the article that is dedicated to relationships in a team of applied anthropologists.

I am sincerely grateful to my colleagues who shared their experience of conducting applied qualitative research and to my peer reviewer, whose comments allowed me to revise my approach to working upon my texts.

Abstract: Large industrial projects are hiring corporate social anthropologists. What is this job about? Why do corporate anthropologists have to solve riddles, translate things “from native language into corporate language” and know where the “red button” might be hidden? The article by Oleg Bazaleev, who has worked as a corporate anthropologist in oil and gas and mining companies in Sakhalin, Middle East, West Africa and South America, answers all these questions. Oleg is currently based in Iraqi Kurdistan and holds the position of the social affairs manager in a UAE oil and gas company.
The article highlights chief patterns of successful anthropological work in cross-cultural interactions, provides cases from the author’s professional experience, covers the skills and knowledge necessary for a social anthropologist employed by industrial corporations, and also dwells on ethical issues resulting from such work.

Abstract: As a result of an applied anthropological study conducted in March 2019 in Nizhny Novgorod, recommendations were prepared for designers and event managers, detailing which distinct historical and cultural meanings are associated with various parts of Nizhny Novgorod, how residents relate to them and what sights should remain intact during the anniversary preparations. Recommendations included a set of proposals for the development of Nizhny Novgorod’s brand, design code and symbols for its 800th anniversary.

Abstract: The article dwells on anthropological research conducted in the city of Kineshma in August-September 2018. Step by step process of concept design of the territory is described — from formulation of tasks to specific decisions of architects. Key dominants of local identity that were registered in the resulting decisions are reviewed in detail. Selected examples demonstrate how the results of urban anthropology research influence a project, and how it is possible to focus on local identity in a small historical city.
In the preliminary stage, the anthropological research serves as a part of a comprehensive analysis within the “Sociocultural uniqueness of project site and surrounding areas” section. It is, firstly, a study of the city as a whole (local identity of the city, key public spaces, main problems and demands city dwellers), and secondly, a study of selected public spaces, of local identity and problems of specific locations, and a description of typical usage scenarios for further development of envisioning selected areas. The findings of this research have influenced the choice of priority areas for improvement, including Revolution Square. Among the most significant results that influenced the concept design, one could name the residents’ (mainly experts’) perception of Kineshma as a merchant city and the significance of its historical architecture. Specifics of the city being situated on the banks of the Volga and of its connection with the river are also highlighted. As far as concept design is concerned, special attention was paid to the dominants of local identity through color lighting in the style of Kustodiev and memorial indications of lost churches and trade pavilions.

Abstract: This paper describes the experience of Russian urban anthropologists who worked in Tashkent (Uzbekistan) in 2018 as members of Strelka KB. The main task of the Strelka KB team was to develop pilot projects for reconstruction and improvement of a number of streets in Tashkent. Since doing urban projects outside Russia requires special attention paid to local context, the anthropologists were tasked with identifying the specifics of using the city, first and foremost — the preferred leisure activities and urban mobility practices. As a part of the research trip to Tashkent, a series of in-depth and go-along interviews were conducted with city dwellers of various ages, gender, and religion (a total of 34 interviews), as well as expert interviews with local opinion leaders — architects, local historians, activists, scientists, and businesspeople (15 interviews). In this article we analyze the reaction of local residents to the interest of anthropologists and urbanists to their environment, the main features of the structure and urban zoning of Tashkent and specifically of public spaces, the transformation of the image of the city in comparison with the 1990–2000s (e.g., the end of the nostalgic myth). Finally, the practical results of a pilot project on transformation of urban environment are briefly presented.

Abstract: The paper analyzes an experience of an applied anthropological study of a major arterial road — Profsoyuznaya Street (including a part of 60 Years of October [Revolution] Avenue) conducted by the Artel’ group of applied anthropologists. This case is interesting due to the fact that such an extended space to research upon is non-typical for anthropological focus, and creating and testing instruments for investigating the arterial road as a whole, as well as for investigating certain parts of it that proved to be of special research interest, was in order to complete the assignment successfully. Two focus points were developed: “micro” (inclusion of the street into local city life, which could be traced via a number of area-specific cases) and “macro” (the whole arterial road as a coherent system). All the methods that have been utilized are described and analyzed in the paper: namely, social media analysis, various types of interviewing, territory mapping (mental mapping); it is also highlighted which methods proved to be effective or, on the contrary, problematic and why. Apart from research design, building communication within the task team of anthropologists and their personal self-consciousness and self-reflection are crucially important in applied anthropology. We were able to express complications of anthropological work on a major arterial road in an essay on hypermosaicism of the studied space that complements the case analysis.

Abstract: The development of the architectural and urban planning project of the Public Administrative, Educational and Residential Complex on the territory of the existing center for homeless youth and teenagers from dysfunctional families (TOY) in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA, required thorough pre-design research. The specifics of work in this Center and the specifics of the lifestyle and problems of the visitors of the Center required both a study of the existing situation in the Center and of similar projects. Design for Social Justice — Studio from Clemson University (USA) was engaged in the development of research methods, research conduction and the formation of conclusions for the further stages of the project. As a result of in-depth interviews, observation on site, focus groups and participatory games with employees and young visitors to the Center, it was possible to form a unique Program and a Brief for designing the new complex that reflects the basic needs and requirements of future users. All decisions were agreed with at every stage of the development. A number of architectural and urban planning projects was carried out based on the Brief and an exhibition was held to attract attention and sponsor funds for the realization of the project.

Abstract: This article presents the results of an anthropological study of utility sector, conducted for the cloud-based subscription service “My Home Online”. The purpose of the research was to study the basic needs of the residents of Ukrainian apartment buildings and cottages concerning housing, communal services, and home management, as well as their experience of communicating with organizations responsible for providing such services. The study was conducted in Irpin, a town located in the suburbs of Kyiv. As a result, we were able not only to classify utility users depending on their preferred way of home management but also to delve deeper into the context that influenced the mechanisms of consumption of these services. The study analyzes both the advantages and disadvantages of different types of home management: public and private home management companies, apartment blocks joint owners associations. Home management companies, it turns out, are most suitable for people who do not want to participate actively in the process of the house management because it is much more convenient for them to simply pay a known amount of money and get appropriate services. However, private home management companies are often accused of underhanded billing policies and fraud. Apartment blocks joint owners associations, for their part, will suit people who want to participate in home management. After all, this form of organization involves active interaction with neighbors and cooperation aimed at improving their living. In addition to formal organizations in Irpin, a number of informal ways of managing homes implemented by the authorities of neighborhood communities are also identified. The research analyzes the specifics of communication with organizations providing home management and utilities, considers the features of communication concerning home management between neighbors, formal and informal ways of such communication. Another important block of the research is the study of payment practices for utilities — “online banking” and payment services in bank offices. As a result, the level of readiness to use online housing management systems was analyzed, and points of tension between residents of different generations and worldviews were identified. The research includes some recommendations for the online service, containing the list of needs of the residents of Ukrainian apartment buildings and cottages in regard to public utilities and home management.

Abstract: The article dwells on applied anthropological research conducted in Moscow in 2018. The research, titled “Basmanny district in perception and everyday practices of the residents”, was carried out as a part of the socio-cultural project “Museum of the Basmanny district of Moscow”, and was aimed at identifying, describing and analyzing the views of the area’s residents concerning this space: its structure and borders, as well as social, architectural, historical, cultural and other features. The article describes the tasks, methods and principles of the research, lists out the most significant results, and provides some notes on certain technical and methodological limitations and difficulties caused by various circumstances and the applied nature of the work. In the conclusion, the author specifically dwells on the scientific significance of the results obtained and notes the partial and selective customer demand for them: those results that had a quantitative expression or were more or less definite and unambiguous were in demand much more than qualitative ones, the most valuable from a scientific point of view. According to the author, the reason for this disparity lies in the excessive complexity of the “picture” revealed in the course of the study: observations describing the complex and contradictory nature of a person’s relationship with a space are difficult to convert into a simple and visual scheme that is in demand in the format of a socio-cultural project.

The article is published in accordance with the research plan of the Institute of Ethnology and Anthropology of the RAS.

Abstract: In 2014, the Moscow Zoo celebrated its 150th anniversary. A large exhibition under the title of “How to create a zoo” was held to honor the event. The exhibition was based on the results of an anthropological study, the purpose of which was to study the life of the Moscow Zoo from the inside. The study combined two areas of applied anthropology: the anthropology of professions and the anthropology of human-animal interaction. The researchers conducted 40 in-depth interviews with Zoo employees. The information included professional narratives, professional folklore and narratives about animals. The results of the study underwent subsequent analysis, and then several dozens of themes and stories were selected for the exhibition, with about half of those comprising the latter.

Abstract: The article describes the methodology, progress and results of a commercial study of bar culture in Moscow. The research was commissioned to identify profiles of bar visitors, and to understand the nature of their beer consumption in order to develop a strategy for a media dedicated to beer. Communication with the customer and the customer’s client, which is not typical for this industry, made the design of the research unusual for commercial research projects. It was two-staged. The first stage involved interviews with bar owners, bartenders and bar managers, and the second stage involved ethnographic participant observations in the bars themselves. As a result, it was possible to identify three ways of typifying bars: by identity, by location and by size, and to identify the needs of bar visitors themselves. At the end of the article the failures — the failed third stage of the research — are pointed out, and further research prospects are outlined.

Abstract: Implementation of major urban improvement programmes (one of which was “My Street” programme in Moscow that took place in 2015–2018) requires not only detailed pre-project research but also an evaluation of its results. Assessment of change of users’ attitude to the refurbished streets is usually based on mass surveys because the opportunities to study the changes of behavior ethnographically are limited. We suggest using digital footprints of urban practices as an alternative for the latter. In the paper we discuss theoretical grounds of this approach, its possibilities and limitations, and also show the results of its usage as exemplified by the assessment of results of “My Street” urban improvement programme on certain streets.

Abstract: The article presents the results of an anthropological study of the protests of the apartment owners in five-storey “Khrushchev” buildings’ against the housing renovation program initiated by Moscow authorities in 2017–2018. We used in-depth interviews with residents of houses that fell under the renovation program (10 interviews) and results of observations made during street actions against the renovation law as research material. During the street rallies we have also recorded interviews (62 interviews in total) and “statements” (posters, badges, etc.) that subsequently comprised a database (1256 units). On the one hand, the authors of this article were interested in how opponents of the renovation described themselves, their housing, the actions of Moscow authorities and which discursive models they employed to express their attitude to the events. On the other hand, the authors’ goal was to characterize the people who were mobilized by this wave of protest, to explain how and why they became involved first in grassroot activism, and later on in professional political work, and describe the dynamics of this process. Finally, by employing qualitative and quantitative methods, the authors identified the main reasons why the renovation program, originally conceived by the authorities as a “gift” to Muscovites, caused such a strong negative reaction among residents of five-storey buildings. Based on their findings, they formulated some practical advice for developers on how to avoid such a reaction from people in similar situations.

The research was performed under the research project «Folklore/postfolklore in urban cultural space of the 20th–21st centuries: Narrative and behavioral strategies» by the Laboratory for Theoretical Folklore Studies (SASH ISS RANEPA).

Abstract: The publication presents a collection of oral narratives of former employees of the Moscow power plant GES-2 about its history and professional everyday life. GES-2 is the one of the oldest power stations in Moscow. It is located in the city center on the Bolotny Island and stopped working in 2016. A cultural space of the same name will be created in the building upon a reconstruction. In-depth interviews with former employees of the now shut-down station were taken in 2016–2017 as a part of applied anthropological research commissioned by the V-A-C Foundation engaged in creating the GES-2 cultural space. Oral narratives recorded during the project dwell on the history of the GES-2, the professional daily life of the power plant employees, professional traditions and folklore. These materials will be included in the new archive of the GES-2 cultural space and should become a source of inspiration for contemporary artists who want to work with local identity and memory of the place in their art.

Abstract: Applied anthropological research is in demand in Russian business, administration and urban development. In spite of this, its methodology is still often unclear to Russian employers and is perceived as somewhat ‘sociology-like’. This idea can lead to conflicts between employers’ expectations and anthropologists’ professional ethics. How can an anthropologist fulfill employers’ requirements while avoiding violation of professional ethics and preserving the security of their informants’ personal data? Discussants analyze some ethically dubious situations in which applied anthropologists might find themselves vulnerable, and attempt to find possible solutions to these problems.
