Abstract: The aim of the research is to determine the marriage range of the residents of Nizhnie Yuri village in the Malopurginsky district of Udmurtia during the 18th century and from the second half of the 19th to the early 20th century. The article analyzes A. I. Pint’s data on late patronymic associations of the settlement’s residents related to the cult groups bydӟym kuala vyzhi and lud vyzhi, and identifies marriage ties recorded in archival documents. The novelty of the work lies in refuting the assumption regarding the endogamous nature of these cult associations. Furthermore, the marriage area of the residents of Nizhnie Yuri village for the period under consideration was determined for the first time. The study established a trend toward intra-village marriages in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This phenomenon was driven by both a significant increase in the village’s population and the gradual decline in the importance of clan affiliation when choosing a marriage partner.
