A visit with the Udmurts – an ethnic group related by language to the Hungarians. In July of 2017 Juhász Katalin went to Udmurtia in Russia’s Volga Federal District to attend the 7th Congress of Russian Ethnographers and Anthropologists held in the Udmurt capital city of Izhevsk. This travel report includes historical and cultural information on the Udmurts, descriptions of a national movement and resurrecting traditions there, their national center for crafts and industrial arts, the Udmurt dance house movement, modern national culture based on tradition, and “Mademoiselle Oudmourt” or Udmurt ethnic fashion. By Juhász Katalin.
