Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Yhykh (Sakha: h) is the New Year holiday in Yakutia (a federal subject of Russia). Citizens of Sakha Republic celebrate the New Year twice a year - in winter with the rest of citizens of Russia, and in summer - according to the ancient traditions. Yakutia is the largest region of Siberia, almost all of its territory is situated in the Arctic Circle. Sometimes the temperatures here reach about 60°C. Summer is very short (it lasts only three months). It begins in the middle of June. And the holiday is celebrated this time of year. The Yakut Yhyakh festival (literally it can be translated as abundance) is related to a cult of a solar deity, with a fertility cult. Before the Great Patriotic War it was held on June 22, the longest day of the year. But after 1941, for moral reason (the date of Yhyakh coincided with the beginning of the Great Patriotic War) it began to be spent in the period between 10 and 25 June, depending on ulus, weekend table, locan preferences etc.
