The symmetric algebra S(\mathfrak g) of a reductive Lie algebra \mathfrak g is equipped with the standard Poisson structure, i.e., the Lie-Poisson bracket. Poisson-commutative subalgebras of S(\mathfrak g) attract a great deal of attention, because of their relationship to integrable systems and, more recently, to geometric representation theory. The transcendence degree of a Poisson-commutative subalgebra \mathcal C⊂ S(\mathfrak g) is bounded by the "magic number" \boldsymbolb(\mathfrak g) of \mathfrak g. The "argument shift method" of Mishchenko-Fomenko was basically the only known source of \mathcal C with \rm trdeg \mathcal C=\boldsymbolb(\mathfrak g). We introduce an essentially different construction related to symmetric decompositions \mathfrak g=\mathfrak g0⊕\mathfrak g1. Poisson-commutative subalgebras \mathcal Z,\mathcal Z⊂ S(\mathfrak g)\mathfrak g0 of the maximal possible transcendence degree are presented. If the \mathbb Z2-contraction \mathfrak g0\ltimes\mathfrak g1\sf ab has a polynomial ring of symmetric invariants, then \mathcal Z is a polynomial maximal Poisson-commutative subalgebra of S(\mathfrak g)\mathfrak g0, and its free generators are explicitly described.
