| Title | The Red Ritual: The Soviet Wedding Rite in Postwar Kyrgyzstan |
| Summary | This master thesis is the study of socialist life-cycle ritual practices in the postwar period in Kyrgyzstan. The work has two primary goals: the first is to unveil the administrative mechanism of introduction of new rites and rituals into everyday life practices of people of Kyrgyzstan and second is to closely explore the role of wedding rite in establishing the continuity between newly constructed Soviet spirituality and the beliefs of ordinary citizens. Once considered to be a quintessentially religious rite, the Soviet wedding is an interesting case to study to check how Soviet propaganda placed a considerable accent on its secularization process making it a civil socialist rite. |
