This book describes birth, marriage, and burial customs of various Finno-Ugrian peoples. The author points to the adverse influence of education and urbanization on rituals, to modification of rituals, and their current formal use. He cites vanishing extensive multinuclear families comprised of several generations as repositories of tradition, shows unequal levels of traditionalism characterizing different Finno-Ugrian peoples, emphasizes greater conservatism in burial practices as compared to marriage and birth rituals. Includes statistical tables, bibliographic references.
