Abstraсt

In 2024, Ufa, the capital of the Republic of Bashkortostan, will celebrate the 450th anniversary of its founding. On the eve of the celebration on the occasion of such a great holiday of federal significance, it is appropriate to recreate the events that took place 150 years ago, covered on the pages of the Orthodox newspaper Ufa Diocesan Gazette, the official publication of the Ufa and Menzelinsk diocese. The celebration of the 300th anniversary of Ufa was written in 9 issues of this periodical. Based on newspaper articles, the authors managed to find out how important this event was for the provincial government and ordinary citizens, how scrupulously preparations for the events were carried out and how each stage of the three-day celebrations on the occasion of the anniversary was thought out. Commemorative practices (a set of ways in which the memory of the past is consolidated, preserved and transmitted in society), expressed in various forms (a joint liturgy in honor of the founders of the city, processions, a military parade, the performance of hymns, etc.), contributed to the formation in society of a unified attitude towards the past, including the “local” one, which formed an integral part of the common past of the people and the state.

 

Keywords: Ufa anniversary, historical memory, commemorative practices, orthodoxy, Ufa diocese
