Influence Of The Ob Ugrians Contacts On The Traditional Belief System
Abstract
The publication, based on an analysis of interethnic and interfaith contacts of the northern groups of Ob Ugrians (Khanty and Mansi), living on the territory of the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug – Ugra in the Berezovsky, Beloyarsky and Oktyabrsky districts, examines the degree of influence of these contacts on traditional spiritual culture associated with religious views of the peoples in question. Belonging to the Ob Ugrians was determined by self-identification. The analysis showed that the greatest transformation of the traditional worldview is associated with the Soviet period of Russian history, specifically with the policy of transferring the indigenous population to a sedentary lifestyle. Having lost contact with traditional settlements, with the inhabitants of multinational villages, the Ob Ugrians entered into interethnic contacts, including marriages, which affected their worldview. In the post-Soviet period, in the wake of the rise of ethnic self-awareness, there has been a surge of interest in traditional religion and the revival of certain rituals. Currently, about 70% of the Ob Ugrians, with varying degrees of involvement, perform traditional ritual actions; more than 17% consider themselves Orthodox and observe Orthodox rituals.
