Abstract
The article examines the issues of introducing and adapting new Soviet holidays in Altai among the descendants of old-timers and settlers in the second half of the 20th century. An analysis is given of the traditional elements of the calendar holiday rituals of the descendants of old-timers and settlers of Altai, included in the script of new Soviet holidays (New Year, of Seeing the Russian Winter Off holiday, Russian Birch or Furrow), shows similar inclusions of elements from the scripts of Soviet holidays in the traditional calendar holidays of rural residents. An analysis of stories from representatives of different generations (older, born in the 1920s–1930s, and younger, born in late of the 1930s–1950s) was carried out to determine the loss of knowledge about the meanings of old holidays and the traditions of their celebration, as well as the traditions of celebrating new Soviet holidays. The article is based on materials from the author’s field expeditions in 2013–2024 to the territory of a number of districts of the Altai Territory (Shipunovsky, Mamontovsky, Romanovsky, Kurinsky, Ust-Pristansky, Volchikhinsky and other districts), as well as materials from regional archives and rural periodicals. The novelty of the study lies in the fact that the problem is considered for the first time at a narrow regional level (district, village).
