ФРОНТОВІ СВЯТКОВІ ПРАКТИКИ ВОЯКІВ В РОКИ ПЕРШОЇ СВІТОВОЇ ВІЙНИ (1914-1917)
THE FRONT-LINE HOLIDAYS PRACTICES OF SOLDIERS DURING THE FIRST WORLD WAR (1914-1917)

Summary/Abstract: The study refers to festive practices among soldiers of the Russian Imperial Army in the frontline during the First World War.Taking into the fact that now Ukraine is in state of military conflict with the Russian Federation, its interest in domestic military history has increased significantly. At the beginning of the XX century Ukrainian lands became a theater of hostilities of one of the greatest conflicts, and Ukrainians participated in it as part of the armies of the participating units of the war. In general, World War I (1914–1918) became one of the most powerful factors in the Ukrainian War of Independence (1917–1921). Despite such an importance of the period of the Great War, it is a relatively poorly-studied page in the history of Ukraine. The relevance of this study is also explained by the acuteness of the problem of warrior everyday life in its chronological development. Actual events have shown that the qualitative state of the armed forces is influenced not only by their combat readiness, but also by the lives of soldiers during the war.
