Sociocultural processes in Roma communities in Tyumen (results of a sociological research)

Abstract
The article is based on data from focus groups, which were conducted in 2023 among representatives of two Roma communities living in Tyumen: Moldovan Roma and Russka Roma (Russian Roma). The choice of this method of gathering information is due to the closeness of Romani people, who practically don't cooperate with scientists, which makes it difficult to obtain and interpret data. During the focus groups, we have used an auxiliary method such as an interview to obtain additional information. This allowed us to reveal intracommunal ideas and norms for the functioning of local communities. Both methods turned out to be difficult from the point of view of organization, since they required not so much careful preparation as the search for channels to reach the Gypsy barons, which made it possible to meet with the most respected representatives of the Gypsy camps and to determine the time and place for the focus groups. The article presents data that made it possible to carry out a qualitative analysis of some elements of the traditional culture of Romani people, who have managed to preserve their identity in the conditions of modern society.
