Abstract

The article highlights some aspects of the Mordovian-Russian ethno-legal and ethno-cultural ties that have a centuries-old history, which led to mutual enrichment, the penetration of cultures, the development of many common norms of life and everyday life. The willingness to borrow and process influences in the organization of the lifestyles of Russians and Mordvins is associated with the compatibility of the mentalities that determined their perception of the world. As a result of the conducted research, the author came to the conclusion that the Russian and Mordvinian peoples, in the conditions of long-term good neighborliness, managed to carry through the centuries the original language and customs of their ancestors, each of them adapted the fundamental traditional norms of behavior of each other, and mainly Russian, in their culture. The general and special ethno-cultural and ethno-legal features of everyday life and life were especially vividly manifested in the communal structure, institutions of marriage and family, religious relations. The experience of the Mordvins in learning the Russian language testified to the progress of adaptation within the framework of a single state-legal space.
