"Praying" Muslim youth as a subculture of Kabardino-Balkar society
The paper deals with a social group of the Kabardino-Balkarian society - the so-called "praying youth", which emerged during the post-Soviet religious revival. The paper shows some distinctive features of this group - their social base, their world outlook, and their behavioral patterns and markers. A special attention is paid to the analysis of the reasons of emergence of the religious conflict that divided the society into those professing a "popular" form of Islam and those "praying", with their fundamentalist agenda. The field materials illustrate how the "popular" and/or "traditional" culture vanishes within the subculture of the "praying youth". Keywords: Islamic revival, the prayers, traditional Islam, fundamentalism, extremism, Kabardino-Balkaria, ritual, conflict. A striking phenomenon in the public life of the Kabardino-Balkar Republic in the late 80s and early 90s of the XX century was the religious revival, which was particularly pronounced in relation to Islam. This phenomenon, which has become a stable scientific term today, is understood as the process of mass construction of mosques and registration of religious communities, the formation of a system of religious education and enlightenment, and in general - a sharp increase in public interest in religion. By the end of the Soviet era, in Kabardino-Balkaria, as in other regions of the country, religion as a whole was pushed to the sidelines of social life. The overwhelming majority of the republic's population was characterized by religious indifferentism. Takova A.
