"Святые письма", страх и эсхатология в послевоенном советском обществе

Фольклор и антропология города. 2018. Т. 1. № 1. С. 318–325.
Kozlov D.

The article observes “holy letters” (special genre of religious folklore), which circulated in Soviet villages, towns and cities in 1940–1950s. Analysis of the reaction on those letters from the Soviet control organs allows to reconstruct several fears (and the eschatological fear – among them), which were intrinsic to different groups of the post-war Soviet society. In contrast to similar texts of the first half of the XX century, the fear of the Last days was combined in the “holy letters” of the post-war years with the technological fears (industrial accidents, Nuclear war).
