SMOKING ROOM. The players sit down next to each other, light a thin splinter and, when it flares up, extinguish it. While the fire is smouldering, the splinter is passed from hand to hand until it stops smoking. Whoever has it extinguished must fulfill some order. While the splinter is being passed, they sing:

Once upon a time there was a Smoking room,

Once upon a time there was a strangler.

Already at the Smoking Room,

Already at the strangler

The legs are small,

The soul is short.

Don't die, Smoker,

Don't die, strangler!

Already at the Smoking Room,

Already at the strangler —

The legs are small.

The soul is short.

Alive, alive

Smoking room,

Alive, alive strangler.

BURNERS. The players form pairs and become a string. Ahead by two steps, "burning" ("gorelytsik", "goryun", etc.) is the one who drives. He is forbidden to look back. The players sing – shout:

Burn, burn clearly,

So that it doesn't go out.

Stay hemline —

Look in the field.

Trumpeters are going there.

Yes, they eat rolls.

Look at the sky —

The stars are burning,

Cranes are screaming —

Goo, goo, goo, I'll run away.

One, two, not a crow,

Run like fire.

The "burning one" has to look at the sky, and meanwhile the rear pair separates and runs – one on one side of the string of pairs, and the other on the other, trying to connect again in front of the "burning one". If the couple succeeds, then the "burning" continues to drive, if not, and the "burning" catches someone, then the one left without a pair drives – becomes "burning". A new pair takes a place directly behind the new "burning" – and the game continues.

Eternal flame is a symbol of eternal memory. The veneration of fire as one of the main forces of nature was widespread in primitive society among almost all peoples of the world – everything falls to the ground, only the smoke from the fire (an option is to burn incense, from Greek. I burn, smoke) rises up, this meant, according to ancient people, that God feels smoke and fire. In one place, the fire was burned for many centuries and those who allowed the flame to fade, and these were mostly women, were killed. In Russia, the caretaker of the fire was called an ognishchanin (from ognishche – pechishche), in the 10th -12th centuries the chief steward of the princely house was a patrimony.

Consciousness, speech, religion, and art emerged approximately simultaneously as a result of a powerful upheaval that ended the evolution of hominids. The epochs of a reasonable man live by the consequences of this event. Therefore, all people are cognizable to each other, and all human communities within 30-40 thousand years are contemporaries. The humanitarian search is aimed at establishing the kinship of civilizations, which has a lower limit in the Paleolithic revolution. The question of where to start a culture, from Australopithecines or Cro-Magnons, three million or thirty thousand years ago, is solved by itself when they move from speculation to interpretation. Culture begins where symbolic tradition extends, where there is still material for human understanding.

Recognition of the find testifies to the similarity of the psychic constitutions of the interpreter and his counterpart. The past changes us, but we also change it. The circle of contacts, in the perimeter of which the means of communication are being established, is called culture in the humanitarian meaning of the word. On the periphery, it is blurred and dotted in some places. The most interesting thing is happening here: the expansion of humanity, the illumination of psychological archaism.

Who liked to compare psychoanalysis with archaeology Z.Freud found his own language on each layer of the "excavation". He considered the main achievement of the psychoanalyst's "translation activity" to be the discovery of the "language of desire", collected from dreams, slips of the tongue, descriptions, hallucinatory associations and other linguistic garbage. Here, at the limit of readability, the first mediation of a vague reality with a vague language takes place. The underlying connections of the psyche with the collective unconscious are included in the work of language on structuring the blurred zone between speech and speech, individual and collective, modern and mythical. The researcher's thought, starting from the plane of the readable into the sphere of the unlit, inevitably finds equivalents to its semi-formed states somewhere on the edge of history. The humanitarian manages to include layers of his barely probed subconscious in communication with prehistory. The emanation of the humanitarian mind into the underlying darkness has the character of a semantic humanization of physical and physiological facts supplied by natural science. The subtraction of "human, too human" in piles of material, seemingly devoid of a sign of animation, means the expansion of the human in man and the humanitarian in science.
