The purpose of the article is to analyse magical means of protecting domestic animals in the territory of the Bashkirs’ Bashkortostan Republic in the middle of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century. To protect their domestic animals against evil spirits and illnesses, the Bashkirs used amulets, metal objects, natural stones, etc. Magical objects and amulets with a long tradition are firmly rooted in the ritual customs of the Bashkirs and continue in their relevance today. This is attested to by the author’s fieldwork materials, which derive from various territorial groups. In the last decades the Bashkirs have begun using materials and amulets available on the internet.
