Annotation: The article discusses the key issues of the formation of the medieval culture of the peoples of the Middle Volga area, which became the basis for the further development of ethnocultural processes in the region. The author believes that the main problem in studying the history of culture in the region in question is the specificity of the sources, since most of them are archaeological materials. Written sources about the peoples of the region are few and subjective. Many of them, e. g., Russian chronicles, are simply records of events in the context of which the chroniclers of this or that princedom were interested. There are very few authentic written data. Developed by the end of the 20th century the corpus of sources was studied by scientists of different directions: archeologists, historians, art historians in the national republics of the Middle Volga. At the same time, a common view on the history of the culture of the peoples of the entire region as a whole did not work out. We consider three periods of the history of the culture of the peoples of the Middle Volga of the Middle Ages. The first period is the culture of the Khazar era of the Middle Volga region: the 7th – the second half of the 10th century. The second period is the culture of the Bulgarian epoch of the Middle Volga region: the end of the 10th – the first half of the 13th century. The third period is the culture of the Golden Horde period of the Middle Volga region: the second half of the 13th – the first quarter of the 15th century. The basis for distinguishing the periods was both, the traditional cultural dominants and the new elements introduced into the memory of culture with their cultural codes.
Keywords: periodization, history of culture, the Middle Volga region, Bulgars, Bulgar region of the Golden Horde.
