Abstract
The article is devoted to the historical aspects of modern problems of regional youth, actualized by real state and, accordingly, scientific research interest. The practical significance of the results is associated with modern discussions of supporters of traditionalist and fundamentalist views. The use of predominantly ethnographic methodology for the study of an interdisciplinary problem is determined by an appeal to the period of "archaism" and "yesterday" of the Adyghe culture. Traditional age gradations of youth were gender- and class-differentiated. The system of prohibitions, permissions and obligations that existed in the past and applied to young people had a clearly expressed ethnic specificity. The results of the study allow us to call "verbal", "food", "spatial" and "seating" restrictions and taboos the most stable. It is the preservation of the latter to this day that proves the traditional basis of the modern Adyghe culture.
