Abstract
The purpose of the work is to reveal the internal structure, dynamics, regular development and the discovery of new functions of the Soviet ritual based on the analysis of historical, including archival, materials. The methodology of the study is to apply the general principles of scientific knowledge, which correspond to contemporary cultural studies discourse. The above mention factors determine the usage of system-analytical, structural-functional, descriptive and comparative research methods for the analysis of the investigated object components, the identification and generaliza-tion of internal connections, interdependence and relations between them. We used system-structural method for a deep study of the essence of Soviet ritual ceremonies; concrete historical method for researching the basis of archival materi-als of the process of Soviet rituals formation, which provides objective representations and knowledge about the reliabil-ity of their properties, features and content; comparative-historical method to establish similarities and differences be-tween the historical milestones in the development of ceremonies from the traditional to their new formations in the Soviet era, as well as the method of interpretation for the identification of functional changes and the establishment of the emergence of new functions in the chronotope of Soviet culture. The scientific originality of the work is to reveal and comprehend the internal structure, dynamics, patterns of development and the identification of the functions of the Soviet rites. According to the laws of socio-cultural continuity of traditions in the chronotope of Soviet culture, those ritual cere-monies aroused a qualitatively new phenomenon, as well as updating and introducing to the scientific circulation of the latest information from the archival materials of the Soviet period. Conclusions. The analysis of the historical particulari-ty of the Ukrainian folk art culture in the context of the Soviet chronotope helps us to reveal the essence and significance of new customs, holidays and ceremonies as new cultural entities, that dynamically developed on the basis of the pre-served internal structure of the Ukrainian traditional rites, by the help of canonizing the newest functions of Soviet ritual ceremonies. Processes, that took place in the artistic culture of the twentieth century, in particular the achievements and miscalculations of Soviet cultural practices, which nowadays, in the 21st century, are no longer regarded from the stand-point of regressive denial characteristic of the last decade of the last century, allowed theoretically to determine the full extent of its complexity and controversy, as well as to identify the alienation of its forms and entities for the existence of a modern person and the relevance of traditional Ukrainian rites.
