Our publication is based on the expeditionary materials of the Research Laboratory of Humanitarian Research of the Bratsk State University. The author’s scientific interest is aimed at the research of the labour practices in the children’s everyday life in the villages of the Angara Region in 1945-1953. As for oral historical sources, which were used, the children labour in kolkhozes, the work at the plot of land were the only way of surviving for many families of the Angara Region in the hard post-war years. The author is examining the process of transferring the social experience (including the culture of life with its regional peculiarity; family’s relationships; using of the ties, which connected adults and children) through the labour activity of teenagers.
