Sator 22 avaldab esimese laiema käsitluse udmurdi folkloorist inglise keeles. Udmurdi folkloristika on suhteliselt pika ajalooga: kultuuri üldist arengumustrit arvestades on see rohkem kui poolteist sajandit. Rahvusvahelise suhtluse kahjuks on see valdavalt vene keeles. See on esimene süstemaatiline katse avada see rikkalik materjal rahvusvahelisele teadlaskonnale.

The yearbook you have in your hands is not an ordinary book. It is the first wider approach to Udmurt folklore in English. Udmurt folkloristics has a relatively long history: taking into account the general pattern of cultural development it is more than one and a half centuries. Unhappily for international communication, it is overwhelmingly in Russian. This is the first systematic attempt to open up this rich material to the international scholarly community.
