Etiquette, protocol, and various ceremonies occupy an important place in the life of society. They accompany a person throughout his or her life. In recent years, attention has increased to the history of the ceremonial component of the life of Russian society. First of all, to the history of ceremonies at the imperial court, official ceremonies. Books by Oksana Yuryevna Zakharova occupy a prominent place among studies on this topic. You are holding in your hands a new work by this author, revealing the next pages of the history of our Fatherland. Each era creates its own ceremonial acts and is reflected in them as in a mirror. For the ruling elite, ceremonial is a way to present itself to the world, to demonstrate its ideas about what is proper and honorable, about the beautiful and noble. The book is devoted to such phenomena of the life of Russian society as the exits of the highest persons, horse carousels, military parades, ceremonial marches, court balls, diplomatic receptions, coronations, weddings, which are considered as special acts of public representation. It is emphasized that the ceremonies in Russia - complex, elegant, always with a subtext - represented the outer shell of the rich spiritual inner nature of public life, reflected the level of morality and virtues of their participants. The book is intended for a wide range of readers interested in Russian history, and will be especially useful for government and socio-political figures involved in the formation of national ideas, doctrines and new spiritual values of the reviving Russia.
