ANNOTATION
The author of the article makes an endeavor to canvass the history of ethnographic study of Tajikistan by Russian researchers referring to the second half of the XIX-th – the early XX-th centuries. It is emphasized that the beginning of historical and natural research of Tajikistan was initiated not by ethnographers, but by researchers, entrepreneurs, military personnel of the Russian army, botanists, zoologists, historians who were curious about flora and fauna, underground fossils and features of the traditional culture of Tajiks. As a result of studying more than half a century of history and culture of the peoples of Central Asia, a large number of works have been published, both individually and collectively. The article includes the works of researchers P.I. Pashino, Yu.D. Yuzhakova, A.P. Fedchenko A.I. Maksheev N.A. Maeva, B.F. Oshanina, G.A. Arandarenko, P.A. Kuznetsova, A.A. Bobrinsky D.N. Logofet and others in which ethnographic data are briefly analyzed.
