The article gives a brief overview of the contribution of the famous Vologda historian, ethnologist and culture studies scholar Alexander Vasilyevich Kamkin (1950-2017) to the study of the history and culture of the Russian North. On the one hand, the North is viewed as a place, or rather a space, where the scientist spent his life and his work was taking place, and on the other hand, as the main object of his interests.
