The structure of everyday life of the modern Yakut village

Abstract

This article reveals the issue of transforming everyday life in modern Russian villages. One of the main tasks of classical historical science was accomplished - to record the present, which in this article is presented as everyday life. The study of the problem of the history of everyday life in the Russian countryside is just as relevant as the history of everyday life in general, and is viewed as a separate direction in Russian historiography. The village of Mayik, Verkhnevilyuisky District of Yakutia, was taken as a typical village for the North-Eastern part of Russia. We note the typical nature of the village in its geographical location: remoteness (70 km from the district center), population (600 people), economy based on cattle breeding and horse breeding. The article reveals the basis of everyday life, the employment and leisure of rural residents of a modern village.
