the study considers three main issues: a) types of Bear’s Holidays: sporadic and periodic; b) primary/ secondary nature of periodic calendar rites in comparison with a sporadic Bear’s Holiday; c) origins and places of periodic rites. Objective: to present a vision and give a description of the historical correlation of a Bear’s Holiday’s types of the Ob Ugrians. Research materials: published records (reports, field materials) and ethnographic researches on the bear cult among the Khanty and Mansi; field materials of S. A. Popova (1992–2020).Results and novelty of the research: the studied material showed that a sporadic Bear’s Holiday is widely known in the literature, and only V. N. Chernetsov identified and described periodic Bear rites among the Northern groups of the Ob Ugrians. The authors of the article offer a new solution to the question of the historical correlation of a Bear’s Holiday types among the Ob-Ugric peoples in the context of the data obtained in recent years. The analysis of holiday types will serve as a basis for further research of problematic issues on the genesis, links with other rites and their role in the social life of the people. The materials of the article can be used in the process of creation of generalizing works on regional ethnography, in cultural institutions and in additional school education.
