Strukturno-tipologičeskoe sravnenie russkoj narodnoj skazki s sovetskoj

The term “Soviet folk tale” refers to a specific folk genre that developed in the Soviet Union on the basis of the centuries-old traditions of the Russian folk tale: it was an attempt to use an existing cultural model for ideological and political purposes. The typological-structural study of the analogies and differences between the poetic features of the traditional folk tale and the Soviet folk tale at a number of levels (sintagmatic semantic narrative, typological and verb-subject) and in a number of genres (magic realistic and allegorical) leads to the identification of methods and procedures necessary for the mythification of reality and of the Soviet hero.
