THE SYSTEM OF ETHNIC VALUES AND THE SYSTEM OF VALUES OF NEW SOCIETY IN THE STORY "GOLDEN TIME" by H.TS. KAUFOV
Using the story of the Adyghe writer H.Ts. Kaufov «Golden Time» the author tries to rethink classical models of Adyghe etiquette and attempts to integrate them with a new morality initiated by the socialist transformation of society. Choosing, according to the dictates of the times, a new system of values, the writer does not follow the path of total denial of ethnic traditions. However, the elements of behavior of etiquette, set forth in the text and ways of describing them, allow us to judge that attempts to «modernize the interpretation» of ethnic traditions are in fact their formalization.
