THE COMMUNAL TRADITIONS IN YOUTH FESTIVALS AND RITUALS OF THE CHUVASH AND UDMURTS
In this article, an attempt is made to analyze the communal traditions in youth festivals and rituals. Traditional festivals and rituals are among the fundamental elements of ethnic culture that affect the functioning of the entire system of everyday life. Youth festivals combined work and active spiritual creativity. This is particularly evident in cases when elements of censorship of morals were included in the play staged - the assessment of the assessment of individual cases by the community and rural communities. The younger generation was attached to the established way of life, the aesthetic views of the people, moral and ethical norms of behavior, cultural and ideological values. Chronology of the study: the first half of the XIX century - until now.
