This article demonstrates the determinants of the significant role played by Russian ethnic folk culture in the urban sociocultural milieu of Saratov Province. Written sources are engaged in casting light on the manifestations of that culture in various spheres of urban life, including in the public face of urban areas. It exerted a predominant influence on the cultural process in most district towns, and in the provincial center its traits were vividly conspicuous in the spiritual and ceremonial life of the greater part of the population.

As post-Soviet historians separate themselves from the Soviet emphasis on urban labor, they are discovering new and exciting ways to explore the history of cities and towns.

Provincial Kazan provides the material for this article's account of the growth in prostitution that resulted from the development of the consumer market and the leisure industry in the latter half of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The unprecedented increase and variety of “offerings” in the realm of “‘love’ for sale” made prostitution a permissible model of everyday existence and created a subculture that exerted no small influence on the daily practices and mentality of the lower and middle urban strata and on urban culture as a whole.

Although Russians have expressed an interest in genealogy for centuries, it became a serious historical discipline only in the Soviet period. A progression can be detected over time from the accumulation of raw, often faulty data on links within various noble clans through the careful documentation of sources and improvement of method and technique, to real analysis within a historical context.

Although long dismissed as a useful tool by historians, genealogy has much to contribute to an understanding of political and social connections in the past—especially but not exclusively those of the medieval and early modern world.

The scarcity of references to high-ranking women in pre-Petrine Russian sources makes every identification of a noblewoman's existence a historical event. Here a source study reveals the name of a previously unknown princess and a marital connection between clans.
