The story

Shumbrat Finno-Ugric Festival in Saransk

Shumbrat is a Finno-Ugric culture festival held in Saransk, capital of the Republic of Mordovia, taking its name from the Erzya-Mordvin greeting shumbrat, meaning hello or be well. It showcases Erzya and Moksha Mordvin traditions alongside those of related Finno-Ugric peoples.

Mordovia is unusual among Russia's Finno-Ugric republics in containing not one titular people but two closely related ones, the Erzya and the Moksha, each with its own language, though both are commonly grouped together as Mordvins in Russian administrative usage, a grouping some Erzya and Moksha activists have pushed back against in favor of recognizing them as separate peoples.

What is special

01

The place changes

02

The mystery stays covered

Shumbrat draws on that institutional groundwork, bringing together Erzya and Moksha performers with visiting groups from other Finno-Ugric regions of Russia for a shared program of song, costume, and craft

Traditions & symbols
