This article deals with the collection of the local historian P. P. Fertikov, a retired Lieutenant Colonel of the medical service and a native of the Russian village of Patraki in the Yakshur-Bodya Region of the Udmurt Republic. The materials he collected over many years is an important source on the history and culture of his native village and district, and of the republic as a whole, with a main focus on the events of World War II. A constant theme of the oral narratives (memoirs) about wartime is life in the rear, in the Russian hinterland. Backbreaking peasant labor burdened the old and the weak shoulders of children; there was a constant struggle with hunger and cold; teenagers had to do the grueling work of cutting timber and railway construction. The accounts of former prisoners of war are full of drama. Letters from the front are emotionally restrained. The main component of the collection is Russian and Udmurt chastushkas — short songs-verses on a topical theme that allow the performer to vent emotions directly during performance. “Maiden’s albums” by participants in the war reveal a different song repertoire from that of the village: they include well-known authorial songs of the war years and heart-rending romances, naive in content and style, based on poems by amateur authors.
