Целью нашей статьи является описание, систематизация и сравнительный анализ отдельных текстов о святых в русской коллекции фольклорного архива Эстонского литературного музея. Эти записи представляют интерес с точки зрения состава и бытования легендарных жанров, образности, поэтики и стилистики текстов, их содержательных особенностей, а также исследования религиозного мировоззрения русских крестьян, которые жили в Эстонии или в границах Эстонии в период десятилетий, предшествовавших Второй мировой войне. В описании коллекции мы опираемся кроме традиционной жанровой классификации на видовые и тематические группы текстов. Наиболее популярными у русских Эстонии являются образы святителя Николая Мирликийского чудотворца (известного в народе как Никола Чудотворец или Николай Угодник), преподобного Иоанна Кассиана Римлянина (в народе Касьяна Немилостивого), Summary On the Saints in the Russian collection of the folklore archive of the Estonian Literature Museum (genres, types, images)

The current analysis is based on a Russian collection of folklore. The data were collected in the 1920–‘40s in the territories of Estonia, Russia, and Latvia (Lutsi region, Estonian settlement) in the context of Slavic belief systems and legends about these characters. Currently, folklore materials are stored in the archive collection of the Estonian Literary Museum (ELM) (Tartu), and in the Skriptoorium. The article gives an overview of the most characteristic motifs, the origin, appearance, and habitat of these mythical creatures. The actions of the Pharaohs are described in more detail.

For Belarusians, the flying serpent is a common character found in modern beliefs and narratives. If we compare traditional Belarusian beliefs regarding enriching flying serpents with the perception of Russians in Estonia – reflected in records from the period 1920–1940 and archived in the Estonian Literary Museum – we may find a number of parallels in the descriptions of 1) the appearance of the demonic character; 2) reciprocal actions of the enriching snake, or treasure bearer and the man he serves. In addition, Russians in Estonia are able to associate the flying serpent with the Estonian demonological character kratt. Kratt was one of the most popular mythological characters in Estonia until the
mid-20th century. There were grain, money, fish, and milk bringers in the tradition. Part of treasure bearers were either made at home, or bought in Riga. Sometimes either a witch’s or mundane person’s soul acted as a kratt. The names often refer to the fact that these are fire-tails or spark-tails, yet the majority are zoomorphic (bird, animal, reptile) or anthropomorphic human-shaped forms. To make them, common everyday items, often good for nothing, are used.
