Enchinov Erkin Valeryevich, Torushev Erkem Gennadyevich

The article deals with the interaction of rites, rituals in folklore and Ethnography of the Altai people. A feature of modern Altai spiritual culture is the presence of syncretic ideas, which are essentially a common cultural basis for both genres of folklore and customs, rituals and rituals described in Ethnography. Regardless of the ritual action, as if it were the rites of a calendar, production or life cycle, there is a kind of «standard» on the correctness or correctness of the symbolic actions.
