The October Script for Preschoolers

Abstract

In her article, “The October Script for Preschoolers”, dedicated to the celebratory rituals of the October Revolution, Marina Kostukhina examines several scripts produced for those purposes. Since the Day of the Revolution, November 7th, was the main celebratory event, those scripts present a remarkable combination of main state ideological concepts, images taken from the world of nature, while also including elements of the seasonal rituals. Reoccurrences of these celebratory practices could be found today in contemporary “autumn celebrations” for preschoolers.

Keywords: preschool celebrations, November 7th celebratory scripts, festive rituals in preschool institutions.
