Abstract

The art of many nations is based on the richness and diversity of various folk genres, carefully passed down from generation to generation over the centuries, creatively processed, modified and differentiated with each new interpretation by a particular performer. The art of music and dance, which characterises the image of each nation, goes back to ancient times. This article is devoted to the problem of studying Russian folk art in the context of its formation in the ritual forms of the Eastern Slavs. Dance, accompanied by various songs, ditties and laments, which reveal the meaning of the action, reflects the inner world of man, the emotional and aesthetic side of his being through the expressiveness of movements, the variety of gestures and the plasticity of the body, which were born under the influence of emotional impressions from the surrounding world, and also various labor processes, hunting and military skills. Throughout its centuries-long history, Russian folklore has been enriched with historical, linguistic, mythological and anthropological features of the Eastern Slavic heritage, and today it represents the richest basis of our country’s art. Thus, the problem of preserving cultural and historical traditions and national identity of the Russian people is one of the most important and pressing topics in the modern world.
