    Contemporary Urban Russian Funerals 109

    Contemporary Urban Russian Funerals 109 Contemporary Urban Russian Funerals: Continuity and Change Jeanmarie Rouhier-Willoughby University of Kentucky Про похороны интереснее рассказывать, потому что в похоронном обряде сохранились традиции глубже всего. Потому что тут, какими бы ни были люди далекими от всего, образованными, страшными консерваторами, тут надо все соблюсти. It is more interesting to talk about funerals because, in the funerary ritual, traditions have been preserved best of all. Because here, no matter how far people were from everything, whether educated, whether frightfully conservative, here everything has to be observed. So said Ekaterina Z., an informant from Novosibirsk, born in 1978. While Ekaterina’s opinion has some merit, as we will see, the urban Russian funeral has not been a stable ritual throughout the 20th and 21st centuries. In fact, it reflects attitudes from both the Soviet period and the post-Soviet period, attitudes which demonstrate how social values have changed over these periods. This paper is based on thirty interviews about funerals with residents of Novosibirsk and Vladimir, Russia (or with emigres to America). The informants ranged in age from 26 to 73 years of age and included 25 women and 5 men. 27 were Russian; the remaining three identified themselves as Tatar, Bashkir or Mordvin. They are representatives of the urban working and middle classes; most attended VUZy (institutions of higher education). 17 were from Novosibirsk and 13 from Vladimir. Most of the funerals they described took place in those locations between 1966 and 2003, although one funeral took place in Chita. In order to evaluate the validity of Ekaterina’s statement, we must first examine the traditional 19th century village funeral.

    Baiter Customs of Lancaster County by ELIZABETH CLARKE KIEFFER

    Baiter Customs of Lancaster County By ELIZABETH CLARKE KIEFFER I F YOU ask any of the students from Baghdad, of whom there I are usually two or three at Franklin and Marshall College, if they are familiar with Easter eggs, you will receive an enthusias- tic response in the affirmative. You will find that not only are colored eggs exchanged and eaten as a symbol of the resurrection, in Iraq; but that little boys on the banks of the Tigris "pick" eggs at Easter time with the same formalities and rules observed on the banks of the Rhine, and those of the Susquehanna. They know that a "point" can usually break a "butt;" they test the thickness of shells with their teeth; they consider it unfair to protect too much of the surface with encircling fingers, but fool- hardy to neglect this precaution entirely. These Iraqian boys even know that a guinea egg is the best "picker," and if you are as- tonished to learn that they have guinea-keets in Mesopotamian chicken-yards, you will find them equally surprised to learn that we have this African bird in America. The egg, indeed, is the universal Easter symbol, whether it be the hand-colored egg, common to peasants of all countries and all creeds; the elaborately decorated chocolate egg, and the hollow sugar egg with pictures inside, that grace our luxurious American Easter; the painted glass darning egg, that children gave their mothers in the nineties; the cardboard egg filled with candy or gifts; or the marvelous jewelled eggs, worth a considerable for- tune, which Russian princesses gave to one another in the days of the czars, and which now are found exclusively in American museums.
