TRADITIONAL FAMILY IN THE YEARS OF THE NEP: FEATURES OF THE TRANSFORMATION OF FAMILY VALUES

Aim. To study new views on marriage and family values and their impact on the premarital and marital behavior of the population, intra-family relations and demographic parameters of the family during the New Economic Policy (NEP). Methodology. Using legislative and normative-legal, statistical and sociological sources, the research analyzes the transformation in the RSFSR of traditional views on the age of marriage, its motivation, the nature of the relationship between husband and wife, parents and children, older and younger children in the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (RSFSR). Particular attention is paid to the contradictions between the new and traditional family values, the crisis phenomena in the traditional marriage and family relations, the peculiarities of the demographic development of the family. The research was conducted using historical-comparative, historical-chronological, demographic and statistical methods. Results. The spread of new views on marriage and family relations in the RSFSR contributed to a change in the marital, family and demographic behavior of the population, the spread of simple families and a reduction in the size and number of children of the family. The features of the population's views on the values of health and their impact on the demographic development of the family are considered. Despite the significant changes in the 1920s, the Russian family remained mainly traditional. The changes in the formation and development of the Russian family corresponded to the demographic transition with the decline in the birth rate and mortality rates characteristic of this period. Nevertheless, these indicators still remained high, which reflected the nature of the traditional type of population reproduction. Research implications. The study expands the study of the demographic transition, and shows the features of its development in the years of the NEP.
