This paper makes an attempt to consider the stability of archaic cults, sacred views, and variability of rituals in modern conditions with the help of modern legends, stories, and perceptions based on the author’s field materials, recorded during the expeditions in different regions of the Altai Republic. The interest centers in the preservation of archaic views in the memory of the people, thereby analyzing what is significant for society. The record and publication of folklore field data contributes to the preservation and popularization of the historical memory of the people.
