Abstract
The article considers the evolution of the traditional religion of the Turks of South Siberia influenced by modernisation.Sacralisation of attractions and related monuments of historical and cultural heritage is considered as one of the ways to overcome the collective memory trauma caused by modernisation. The specifics of narratives and practices of neotraditionalism among the Turks of South Siberia are shown on the example of nation-wide cults that have developed around worship of Khurtuyakh-Tas and Ak-Kydyn.Particular attention is paid to the connection between the sacred and the secular in the formation of ethno-confessional narrative around the idea of female deity as a patron and guardian of life force of the people.
