Over the past few decades, a language has been formed for public symbolic expression of grief associated with resonant tragedies. This language assumes: the formation of special symbolically loaded memory places in the urban space; manipulation of colour schemes that have symbolic meaning; the use of a repertoire of individual and group commemorative actions. Such commemorative practices arose as predominantly spontaneous actions based on the initiative of individuals and small interest groups. However, in Russia there is a tendency for the state and its actors to appropriate such practices.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p>Настоящая статья открывает специальную тему номера: “Обрядность в пространстве современного города”, в которую вошли также статьи Д.А. Радченко и А.В. Загорулько и Е.А. Крыкова. На протяжении нескольких последних десятилетий сформировался язык публичного символического выражения скорби, связанного с резонансными трагедиями. Этот язык предполагает возникновение преимущественно спонтанных коммеморативных практик, основанных на инициативе частных лиц и небольших заинтересованных групп. Речь идет о формировании в городском пространстве специальных символически нагруженных мест памяти, о манипуляции цветовыми гаммами, имеющими символическое значение, об использовании репертуара индивидуальных и групповых коммеморативных действий. Однако в России наблюдается тенденция к присвоению таких практик государством и его акторами.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>commemorative practices</kwd><kwd>spontaneous memorial</kwd><kwd>places of memory</kwd><kwd>funeral and memorial rites</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>коммеморативные практики</kwd><kwd>спонтанный мемориал</kwd><kwd>места памяти</kwd><kwd>похоронно-поминальная обрядность</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Arvanitis, K. 2019.
