About this Item

Traditional and New Rituals in the Everyday Life of the Peoples of the USSR is a scholarly collection of essays prepared by the Institute of Ethnography of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR and edited by I. A. Kryvelev and D. M. Kogan. The volume examines both traditional and newly established civic rituals among the diverse peoples of the Soviet Union, including family, life-cycle, labor, and public ceremonies. The contributors analyze the historical origins of ritual practices, their transformation under Soviet society, and the emergence of secular ceremonies intended to replace religious customs. Regional studies cover various Soviet republics and ethnic groups, while the appendices provide methodological materials, examples of ceremonial scripts, costumes, and ritual attributes. The collection is an important source for the study of Soviet ethnography, folklore, social customs, and cultural policy.
