The article highlights the ethnocultural component of field research by the finnish geomorphologist I. G. Granye in the Russian and Mongolian Altai, carried out by him on the instructions of the Finnish-Ugric Society in 1906 - 1907 and in 1909. The expeditionary research undertaken was archaeological. But at the same time I. G. Granye has collected a wealth of material on the ethnic history of the peoples of the Russian Altai and Mongolian Altai. According to the author of the article, the characteristics and descriptions of various ethnocultural groups, communities and enclaves of the Altai-Mongol region expand modern understanding of the history and culture of the region’s population in pre-soviet times.
