Abstract

The stereotypes of traditional folk consciousness, which fix the perception of magic and ritual practices (witchcraft, transformation into different, communications with other world), and its reflection in Pogorelsky’s mystical cycle Dvojnik, ili Moi vechera v Malorossii are analyzed. Special attention is paid to the traits of creative individuality of A. Pogorelsky (as a founder of Russian fiction story) in the literary incarnation of folk traditions of the comprehension of the supernatural.
