Функционирование традиционных сказочных образов в прозе Виктора Астафьева и Валентина Распутина
The Functioning of Traditional Fairy-tale Images in the Prose of Viktor Astafiev and Valentin Rasputin

Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of this article is to identify the type of the functioning of traditional fairy-tale images in the prose of Astafiev and Rasputin. In the appeal to oral folk art we can see the traditional character of writers and their typological proximity in the image of the inner world of the Russian person, their being, environment and social environment. The authors skilfully and organically include mythopoetic and folkloric images. Rasputin uses fairy-tale images and fairy-tale poetics more actively than other writers, whilst Astafiev builds a system of characters based on the folkloric tradition, using, in particular, the motif of triple repetition and the mythological story.
