Abstrakt

The article examines the ways in which the culture of urban festivity in Kharkiv during the 1960s–1980s contributed to the completion of the fashioning of Kharkiv’s heterogeneous image as the city of industry, culture and science, the first capital of Soviet Ukraine, a “crossroads of cultures”, the embodiment of the Ukrainian-Russian borderland. Urban festivity was part of the Soviet ideology and reflected the Soviet social order. The culture of urban festivity fully subjected the "standardization of form", losing its independent significance. At the same time, the Soviet urban festivity culture was one of the symbolic mediators connecting city residents with the urban environment. The role of urban symbolic and ritual practices consisted in the accumulation, reproduction and transmission of the festive landscape of Kharkiv as a Soviet city. Official festivities formed the basis for the matrix of urban memory throughout the 1960s–1980s.
