Russian Hut. Traditions and Customs

The book "Russian Hut: Traditions and Customs" is intended for a wide audience interested in unique Russian traditions and culture as a whole.
The book collects material on how to build a hut – from choosing the location and wood to... raising the roof and porch, how to celebrate the housewarming, what rituals were conducted to protect the home and make it more beautiful. The central theme throughout the book is the significance of the hut in a person's life: it is not just a roof over the head, but support, a foundation, and protection for the whole family and lineage.
The book uses data from archaeological excavations, works by well-known researchers of Russian antiquity from the 19th to 21st centuries, and monuments of Old Russian writings. It includes numerous reviews about the Russian hut and Russian construction customs. The textual materials are accompanied by paintings by artists, engravings, and old photographs that have survived to our time.
