The article is devoted to the analysis of fairy-tale material from the folklore collection of the Omsk local historian I.
S. Korovkin whose wide collection of folklore materials is stored in the folklore archive of the Omsk State Pedagogical
University. The article will focus on the texts of fairy tales written by a collector from a Siberian performer Anastasia
Stepanovna Kozhemyakina, manuscripts of these recordings are stored in the folklore archive of the Pedagogical Uni-
versity. Of the 40 fairy tales recorded by Korovkin from the performer, the author of the article was able to identify
(from archival records and published materials) 36 texts. The repertoire represents the Russian old-time tradition of
Siberia. Tales by A. S. Kozhemyakina reflect the process of the existence of a folklore text in the oral tradition (which
is typical for the late XIX - early XX centuries). The bearers of the tradition have a certain “baggage” or a set of ele-
ments specific for a particular genre (poetic, content) in order to “form” a text from these elements when reproducing it.
"Forming" a fairy tale, Kozhemyakina takes out any element, image, plot episode, etc. from her fairy-tale "baggage". It
includes not only fairy-tale, but also epic episodes, formulas, elements, as well as images, plot conflicts from adventure
stories or novels. Fairy-tale contaminations are also peculiar. They are as well due to the specifics of the oral existence
of fairy tales. A special publication of this fairy-tale heritage with scientific commentary on each text is needed.
