Wreaths, divination and Kupala bonfire

To read 6 min Posted by Updated

For a long time the people of the Yugra land did not gather for a holiday where Russian traditions and customs are especially revered, but they hoped that the insidious disease would recede, and waited. And on the clearing of the open-air museum "Suevat paul" last Saturday, old songs sounded again and folk costumes were full of colors. The good news spread throughout the district: masters of the art of singing and crafts arrived in Yugorsk from everywhere. nine0010

RETURNING TO THE ORIGINS
Starting from noon, the guests were greeted at the gates and called red girls from the Ugra Museum of History and Ethnography - in traditional chintz dresses and wreaths woven from wild flowers that replaced headdresses. And then on the stage they gave the beginnings to the festivities with their Russian folk dance. Mayor Aleksey Kharlov noted the significance of the holiday, which has been introducing people to the customs of their ancestors for 16 years now: “This is a day of unity and friendship, thanks to which we will not forget either our historical roots or cultural values.” “This is a great platform for learning about the history and traditions of the people, a meeting place with hard-working, creative people who glorify the Russian land with their talents and energy,” added another guest of honor, Bishop Photius of Yugra and Nyagansky. nine0007

Colorful action, woven from Russian folk dances, songs, rituals and games, did not stop on stage for a minute. The guests of honor also liked the program of the holiday - the head of the city Alexei Kharlov, the chairman of the local Duma Evgenia Komisarenko and Bishop Photius of Yugra and Nyagansk.

For the preservation and popularization of national traditions, the masters of folk crafts who come to the "Slavic round dance" for several years were awarded letters of thanks from the museum and the city administration. And after the solemn speeches fell silent, the attention of all the people arriving for the holiday was captured by the artists. The theater of the Cossack song "Ivanov Tsvet" from the center of culture "Ugra-present", vocal ensembles from Ivdel and Sovetsky more than filled the space around with fun and enthusiasm. Young performers of pre-school groups of the lyceum named after M. G.F. Atyaksheva and women of fashion from the Russian costume theater "Chintsevaya Rus", who presented a new collection of clothes in folklore style. nine0007

THE RITE OF DOMS AND PURIFICATION BY FIRE
But not only the concert program, which gave the holiday a wonderful musical setting, will be remembered by residents and guests of the city. It is based on the rituals that went in Rus' to Semik, Trinity and Ivan Kupala. The first identifies the transition from spring to summer, the second - the life-giving power of nature, Ivan's Day - its highest flowering. The symbol of all three folk festivals was a birch: our ancestors believed that this tree protects from evil, disease and brings good. So the participants of the Ugra holiday curled the birch, tying ribbons on the branches and hoping for her patronage in the fulfillment of their cherished desire. They danced dances around the sacred tree, striking in their scope and pattern, played folk games. They washed themselves with water passed through grains of wheat, which, according to ancient beliefs, gives wealth and happiness. They jumped over the Kupala bonfire, promising purification from all evil. nine0007

Passed down from generation to generation, rituals accompanied a person throughout his life - from birth to death. A special place in the complex of ritual actions is occupied by traditions associated with the creation of a family. Unmarried girls, as once in the distant past, were carried away at the holiday by fortune-telling on wreaths and spoons, revealing the intrigue: who will meet the betrothed next? And the rite of vaults for all eternity connected the groom Nikita Antosyev and the bride Svetlana Lysenko. “Our wedding will take place on July 30, and it’s great that such a wonderful ceremony preceded it - now we simply have to live life in peace and harmony,” Svetlana noted. nine0007 An example of an HTML page

THERE ARE SKILLS ON THE RUSSIAN LAND!
Trade rows lined up on the territory of the museum like a fairground. So many craftsmen who came to the festival from the lands around and far, have not yet been seen here, and the variety of products presented by them was simply dizzying. Wax candles and beaded jewelry, wooden and ceramic items, gingerbread and fruit marshmallows, souvenir soap and feather shawls… – it seems that there was everything that the inexhaustible imagination, inquisitive mind and skillful hands of a true master are capable of. nine0007

A regular participant in the "Slavic round dance", woodcarver Andrey Chaplinsky now brought some items from his collection of folk toys from Solikamsk to Yugorsk. “I get ideas for making them from books, thematic Internet sites, but most of all from the stories of old-timers - I travel a lot in the villages. For the peasant children, the toy not only served as fun - it gave an idea of ​​the laws of nature and the animal world, the way of life and the rules of behavior, ”the master told the people who surrounded him. nine0007

Another collection - ceramic dolls in national clothes and in the interiors of peasant life - was presented by pupils of the Ugra center of Russian culture "Kladez". They made all the exhibits of this wonderful exhibition with their own hands as part of the implementation of a project awarded with a grant from the governor. “The process of creating dolls overwhelmed the children so much that at the end of one lesson they asked when the next one would begin. Honestly, I didn’t expect such a response from the modern generation of children, ”said Marina Rostokina, head of the center. She and her wards supplemented the story about folk traditions and customs with a quest game at the celebration. Many craftsmen held master classes at their sites. The opportunity to learn a craft interested many, and people who wanted to paint a gingerbread, make a bowl on a potter's wheel, and forge a horseshoe lined up. “I myself got into the forge during practice, as a student, and so I stayed there, because I “got sick” - I can’t call it otherwise. I spend 12 hours a day at my favorite work and do not feel tired,” said Evgeny Varenkov, one of the founders of the Nyagan “Craftsmen's Shop”. “I consider it important to teach the basics of the business that you are passionate about - suddenly one of the guys will be carried away by it just like I once did. ” nine0007

There were a lot of different locations that could capture attention at the festival. Representatives of the equestrian club "Allur" invited both children and adults to ride horses, coaches of the Yugra Sports Center taught archery, museum staff showed how to weave a wreath of flowers. The Zyablitsev family brought geese and goats from their own farmstead, organizing a petting zoo. And so that those who came to the “Slavic round dance” would have enough energy and strength to go everywhere and see everything, the Cossacks from the “Stanitsa Yugorskaya” society treated them to buckwheat porridge with smoke. Oh, a holiday - so a holiday! The people had fun! nine0007

Various festive venues fit perfectly into a unique natural and museum location. Craft farmsteads, contact mini-zoo, zones for weaving wreaths and archery captured the attention of people. The coaching and student staff of the equestrian club "Allur" did not know the end of those who wanted to ride with the breeze in such a cart.

"Jews must bring thanksgiving wreaths to Stalin's grave"

"Jews must bring thanksgiving wreaths to Stalin's grave"

The Federation of Jewish Communities of Russia (FEOR) demanded from the new Minister of Education Olga Vasilyeva to clarify her attitude to the era of Stalin, reports Zavtra , Mr. . Borukh Gorin, head of the FEOR public relations department, said, “It is very important for the new minister to clarify his position and leave no room for ambiguity, because this is an important issue not only for the formation of Russia, but also for the future of the country in general,” he said. Gorin explained that after the appointment of a new minister, “some quotes taken out of context” began to be used everywhere, which “do not add optimism” regarding the personality of the new minister. nine0071

“Any attempt to treat the Stalin era with greater understanding, as is often the case: there was such a time and so on, frightens me very much, because I believe that the Stalin period was deadly for Russia. A whole class of people was destroyed, free thought and post-revolutionary enthusiasm were destroyed, which were replaced by fear of terror, ”Interfax quotes a representative of FJOR.

Recall that Olga Vasilyeva was appointed Minister of Education and Science on 19 August. After that, the media started talking about her statements "in favor of Stalin." So, in 2013, Vasilyeva, at a lecture to members of United Russia, noted that Stalin, for all his inherent shortcomings, was still a boon for the state, since before the start of World War II he was able to rally the Soviet people. She also noted the measures to promote the Russian language in the USSR, initiated by Stalin. In addition, allegations attributed to Vasilyeva, including the exaggerated scale of the victims of Stalin's repressions and the approval of Stalin as head of state, have become widespread. nine0071

The “concern” of the Hasidim was commented on by a well-known writer, editor-in-chief of the Zavtra newspaper, chairman of the Izborsk Club Alexander Prokhanov :

how it relates to the personality of Stalin. Moreover, in this rather firm demand, the idea was voiced that if Vasilyeva's attitude towards Stalin is positive, then the fact of her appointment to the post of minister is a tragedy for Russia. nine0007

Why did the Jewish communities turn to Vasilyeva with this extraordinary demand? Why didn't the Chechen, Ingush or Tatar communities apply? Why didn't the Russians come forward with this demand? Where does such perseverance and inquisitiveness come from in the Jewish communities? Moreover, they address on behalf of the entire Jewish people. Are the entire Jewish people interested in Vasilyeva's attitude towards Stalin, or only certain groups of Moscow Jews? Is it possible that Jewish front-line soldiers, hung from head to toe with orders and medals of the battles they fought under the banner of Stalin, joined this demand? Are they joining this rather brazen attack? nine0007

What could I say if I were in Vasilyeva's place? In Stalin, I see a man who made tremendous efforts and, having defeated Himmler and Hitler, stopped the extermination of Jews all over the world, including Russian Jews. Stalin did not allow the crematorium ovens to blaze from Vitebsk to Vladivostok. I would also say that Stalin was the person whose zeal and efforts the state of Israel was organized. Then the age-old religious dream of the Jews about the restoration of their state came true. I think this is the undoubted merit of Stalin to the Jews. It seems to me that all Jews, both our Russians, and Israelis, and world Jewry, should at least twice a year - on the birthday and on the day of the death of Joseph Vissarionovich - come to his grave in the Kremlin wall and bring wreaths of thanks . nine0007

I see that with the appointment of Vasilyeva to the post of Minister of Education, her persecution began. Olga Yurievna is surrounded by rings of hatred, lies, defamation. And that campaign includes more and more new forces. These are bright liberal bloggers who do not skimp on insults. These are highbrow political scientists of the liberal wave. Entire newspapers and radio stations are involved in attacks on Vasilyeva. It seems that somewhere in the center, which controls the entire liberal environment of the world, a decision has been made to defame Vasilyeva. And all this only because it is in resonance with the new trends in Russian politics and ideology, when Westernism is squeezed out of the Russian consciousness, which for many years made Russian public opinion a toy in the hands of Western political sorcerers. nine0007

After the catastrophe of 1991, Russia painfully, with huge losses, returns to its traditional path of development. And in this regard, both historical vision and pedagogical education are key. Of fundamental importance are the nature of the history textbooks, which will be written not by the Soros, but by Russian historians and thinkers, and the course of literature, which will be dominated by Pushkin, Dostoevsky and Bunin. All this is extremely important for creating a new generation of Russians who are capable of building a full-fledged, powerful state out of today's, largely still ruined, failed Russia.
