Vladimir Romashkin

By 1980 he is part of conducting and choral faculty at the Kazan Conservatory, and in 1986 postgraduate study at MNIIYALIE (folklore and art sector).

In 1986, he published his monograph "On some Mordovian features-Karataev traditional art of singing",[3][4] in which he described Qaratay folklore in villages in the Tatar ASSR.

Perhaps Romashkins' most famous work was that of the creation of the group Toorama,[2] the repertoire of which included Erzya, Moksha, and Qaratay songs.

On 6 September 2006, in Kochkurovsky District in Mordovia, a house museum dedicated to Romashkin opened, called the "Ethno-Kudo".

[8] There is a tradition that has now become an annual folklore festival that showcased ancient Erzya and Moksha songs called "Tori terdi" on the birthday of Romashkin.
