    Annotation This article examines the invention of tradition and related processes in the Soviet period, as well as their transformation in the post-Soviet period, with respect to one of Russia's oldest universities – Kazan University. These processes are illustrated through the evolution of the «Lenin myth», which was defined over the course of decades and functioned as both a site of collective memory and self-representation of the university, as well as a matrix for all of the university's educational work with its students. The myth emphasizes Vladimir Ulyanov-Lenin's time at Kazan University as the origin of the future leader's revolutionary biography, thus thinking the university, through Lenin as student, with the Bolshevik Party and the Soviet state. Although the «Lenin myth» has lost its central position in contemporary university tradition, it remains a significant part of a subterranean university culture. Moreover, its separate and formalized elements continue to be utilized by both the official bureaucratic discourse and by the new traditions of the modern university.
