Annotation

The article focuses on how young people from ethnic Regions of the Russian North rethink their local identity. The choice of cities for the study is due to the presence of ethnic history and culture in the memory of local residents: Pomors in Arkhangelsk, Karelians in Petrozavodsk, Komi in Syktyvkar. Referring to the model proposed by P. Krupkin, the authors analyze the natural and artificial meanings of both territorial and cultural symbols underlying local identities.
