Central Europe. Western Ukrainians (Transcarpathia, Tyachiv district, p. Dulova) [The tsar has three sons and a daughter, his eldest sons study well, the youngest Ivan Farmudz is stupid, sitting on ash, his name is Pepelyanik. The brothers decide to find out why their father has one eye crying and the other laughing. The oldest one comes first. The king reads, there is a saber on the table, he swings at his son, he runs away, the king throws his sword after him, and she pierces the door. It's the same with the middle son. When the IF enters, the king swings, and the IF puts his head on the table: the king has the right to kill him. The king reports that he was sold to an unclean man in his mother's womb. When he dies, the devils will smash his bones across seven powers, so one eye cries. But he hopes his sons will protect him, so the second one laughs. He tells you to cook 7 fathoms of firewood, dig a grave in 7 fathoms deep, sons spend the night near the grave and burn a fire, sabers in their hands, three snakes will arrive at night: at 9 o'clock - three-headed, at 10 a.m. - 6-headed, at midnight - Chapter 12 If someone comes for a sister, give it back. The king is dead, the brothers spend the night at the grave. The elders fall asleep. IF kills a 3-headed snake, blood almost flooded the sleepers. The IF puts logs under the heads of sleepy brothers. Kills the 6-headed, the blood almost flooded the sleepers, the IF seats sleepy brothers. A 12-headed serpent arrives. Ivan cuts 6 goals, then 6 more, but one always returns to the place. The IF pierces the snake's neck and presses it to the ground, the blood cools down, the head cannot grow. Blood flows like a river, and IF puts the sleepy brothers standing still. The fire went out, the IF climbs the ash tree, the light is in the distance, the IF is walking, the forest is on the way, two women ask to judge who is older. It's Night and Day. The IF ties them to poles at a distance, tells them to remain silent until they return, otherwise they will cut off their heads. It comes to a fire of 300 fathoms of firewood, robbers (sprays) sleep around. The IF cuts off the stick, splits the end and pulls out the smut in a split, but the coal falls on the senior robber. The IF runs away with fire. The robbers wake up, the younger and middle do not see anything, the eldest gets up, his head rises above the trees, he sees the IF, steps several times, catches up with the IF, puts it in the palm of his hand, brings him to the fire, calls it an ant, promises to kill for stealing smut. IF calls himself the best thief in the world. The robber demands help to steal the king's daughter. The sun never shone on her, the wind never blew on her forehead, golden hair on her head, her beauty is indescribable. The robbers have not been able to steal it for three years: there is a golden rooster at the royal gate and as soon as they approach, he starts singing and the army shoots. The IF crawls up, kills a rooster, finds the room where the girl sleeps, calls the robbers one by one, cuts everyone's head, changes rings with the sleeping princess, leaves a note: IF hacked three snakes, Night and He tied the day to trees, shot a rooster, cut off the heads of the robbers, and exchanged rings with the princess. Night and Day are asked to let them go: it has been dark for 7 days. The IF judges this way: in summer it should be a long day (a lot of work, the harvest must ripen), and in winter it should be short. Night and day sign an eternal contract. The IF returns, cuts the frozen blood of snakes, the brothers who wake up fainting with fear. The Interfax rules the state. At midnight, musicians come and demand to give what their father ordered, otherwise they will leave no stone unturned. The IF throws their sister out the window. The musicians are playing, the wind is blowing - a train of 100 carriages flies across forests and seas. The neighboring king promised a daughter to whoever would kill the thieves. A gypsy servant finds the bodies and pretends to be their murderer. Preparing a wedding. The IF is late, the gypsy demands not to let him in, but the king lets him in. The Interfax ridicules the groom, expects execution for insulting the future royal son-in-law. At the gallows, she tells me what he did and where he put the letter, shows the princess's ring. The people rejoice, the army and servants disperse the gypsies. After the wedding, IF goes to his brothers, the king lets him go, but forbids him to take his wife with him, who was not shining in the sun or blowing the wind: she will be kidnapped by the wind. The IF does not listen, the whirlwind takes the princess away. The queen gives three years to find her daughter, otherwise she executes her. The IF wanders, there is a hole in the trunk of the oak tree: "This is where the wedding with Farmudz Mariika came in." The IF comes to a small hut like a box. There, his brother-in-law tells his wife to cook: her brother starves to death. He puts the IF to bed, asks the horse where the IF's wife is. Horse: In the seventieth country, the Filthy King stands for a cook. Pogany also has a horse, his older brother, he is stronger, he will catch up, the poganin king will cut Ivan to pieces. You have to put a bag on the horse so that the horse will then bring the chopped one. The brother-in-law equips the IF on the road, the horse brings him to the realm of Poganin. Ivanova's wife is just on her way to the well with the buckets, singing plaintively. The IF puts her on a horse. At the same moment, Filthy's horse laughs. Poganin grabs an iron pitchfork, rushes into the staff, finds out that the IF stole his cook, but he has time. He snaps his teeth and eats two wagons of nuts, smokes two wagons of tobacco, sleeps for two hours, takes a sword, sits on a horse and starts after him. IF Horse: It burns the fire because the Filthy King is catching up. Let the IF ask Poganin to cut him with a sword, throw him in a bag and put him on his horse. This is what happens. Poganin takes the cook. The brother-in-law tells his wife to bring a trough from the attic in advance, folds the pieces of the IF body, pours it with healing water, and everything grows together. The brother-in-law has two souls, he blows on his body, releases one of them, the soul enters the IF, and he comes to life. His brother-in-law explains that he won't be able to revive him again. His mother, who is the oldest over half the world, could help, knows a lot, but she can eat it when she sees it. The IF has been going to her for six months. Baba feels it from a distance, roars: she has been living in this place for 10,000 years, but has not seen an earthly person, she has not eaten fresh human beings for 3000 years. The IF calls her a sweet mother, a dear matchmaker, and says that her son sent him. Baba wants to see it but promises to eat it. He takes two iron poles, 10 m each, supports his eyelids, otherwise they cannot hold on. The IF talks about everything, the woman feels sorry for him. He sends him to his husband, but there is little hope that he will regret it, he is even angrier, he is 6 months away. He feeds him with tin dumplings, he does not feel hungry during the journey. My grandfather senses it from an even greater distance, 15,000 years, has not seen a person, he has not eaten human beings for 5,000 years. The Interfax calls him a sweet father, a dear matchmaker, says that he has been pardoned and sent by his wife as the oldest in the world. Grandfather: I ate millions of people, but I have never met such an affectionate and kind person. She wants to watch and then eat it. It supports the eyelids with iron poles 20 m long. He regretted, feeds the IF with steel dumplings. It gives two twigs that grow out of the ground. There is a basement under the house, there are two horses, one must be hit with one twig and the other with another, he gives these horses because he is old, the horses must be obeyed, they will do everything. The IF goes down into the dungeon, sees wooden tremblers on four legs, hits them with a twig - the tremblers turn into a stallion and a mare. The horse is happy, asks you to take him out of the basement, take a wooden ax, cut three thousand fathoms of firewood, and light a fire. A wooden ax cuts trees into ready-made logs. Horses eat fire, eat ashes 100 meters deep, drink all the water, drink the lake three times: now they are invincible. The horse tells you to take diamond clothes out of his left ear, and a saddle with a bridle for a woman from his right ear. The horse asks how to carry it, IF: so that neither he nor the horse is harmed. The horse is happy to have waited for a good king. Pogany's horse is his son. They arrive at the well, the IF dresses his wife in diamond clothes, puts him on a mare, and rises above the sky. The horse in the filthy king's stine laughs. They're flying in pursuit, there's no time to wait. Pogany's horse calls his father and mother, asks him to wait for him, otherwise he will be tortured. They advise you to fly into the sky, throw off the pollution. Poganin is still falling, and if he fell, it would rumble with all the thunder and the earth would crumble. The horse rushes after his parents, flies with them. The light is all over the sky, people think the whole world is on fire. The old tsar cries with joy, IF invites brothers to a feast]: Lintour, Chandey 1965:9-29; Russians (Vologodskaya; d. Terekhov-Malakhov, Belozersky U. of the then Novgorod Province) [The Tsar dies. Young Ivan Tsarevich has heroic strength and lives with his mother. From another land, its ruler Burzachilo Poganoe writes to fight against him. An/ is looking for a horse. Lots of horses, but whoever she sits on will fall. If you put your finger down, it falls. She walks through the city in sadness, meets an old woman: why did she think about it. I. replies that how does she, an old witch, know the royal thought. He changed his mind, returned to the old woman, tells his misfortune. Old woman: His grandfather's horse is standing in the earthen stable. He's already eaten the ground knee-deep. We have to go out into the green garden, shout well done, whistle like a hero, the horse will give a voice. I. tells her mother everything, she is happy. I. goes to the garden, screams, whistles - the horse responds. I. discovers a shield in the ground, goes down the stairs, where a horse is chained 12 chains. When he sees I., he breaks his chains. I. asks the horse to serve him as he served his grandfather. The horse asks him to let him go for 7 days to walk in green meadows and silk grasses, and during this time get a golden saddle. The saddle is made by a hundred craftsmen, but it is either small or large, not suitable for a horse. I. is walking around the city, the same old woman advises you to take the saddle hanging in the corner on the left in the corner, which is covered with moss, and gilding it, it will do. After 7 and I. days, he goes out into the open field, screams well done, whistles like a hero, the horse comes running, the ground trembles, the saddle is just right. I. goes to war without troops. The horse helps by trampling enemy troops with its hooves. I. takes Burzachilo Pogany prisoner, who asks not to kill him, but to tie him to a stirrup, take him to his kingdom, imprison him and feed him meager food. I. puts him in prison, maids bring him food. BP suddenly refuses to take food from them, demanding that the sovereign herself bring it. When she hears a sigh, she brings BP, falls in love with him, begins to feed him better, and plans to kill her son with him. BP is a terrible sorcerer, he knows everything, tells I. to find a three-headed snake and bring his liver lungs to heal the queen. I. agrees, calls the horse, who informs that his mother has fallen in love with BP, tells him to wear three cast-iron lats and go to his mother for a blessing, although she will not give it. The mother refuses to bless; he goes to his godmother for a blessing. The horse is running, the earth is trembling, mountains and valleys jumping, rivers and lakes are covered with its tail. They don't reach three miles, they start baking with fire. Molten first armor flows down from I., the second verst, and the third at the last. The horse tells you to look at the golden hair in his mane: when it starts writhing, cut it to the left with a sword. I. cuts off the snake's three heads, takes the lungs and the liver. The horse says his mother sent him to death on purpose. Upon returning, I. first of all goes to the PSU, he unlocks it. The mother throws away the lungs, the liver, the PSU advises her to send I. bring the lungs of the liver of an 8-headed snake. The mother again refuses to bless her son; he goes to his godmother for a blessing. The horse tells you to wear 6 cast-iron lats on him and himself. When they drive 6 miles, the fire melts all the armor one by one. The horse tells you to look at the golden hair in his mane when it starts writhing - cut it to the right with a sword. I. cuts off the snake's six heads, takes the lungs and the liver. When he returns, he goes back to BA, he denies it. The mother throws out the lungs, the liver, on the advice of the PD, sends I. to bring the lungs of the liver of a 9-headed snake. He refuses to bless I. again; he goes to his godmother for a blessing. The horse tells you to wear 9 cast-iron lats on him and himself. When you drive 9 miles, the fire melts all the armor one by one. The horse tells you to look at the golden hair in his mane when it starts writhing - cut it to the left with a sword. I. cuts off six heads of the snake, but he waves his trunk and knocks I. out of the saddle. I. falls down and falls asleep in a heroic dream for 9 days and 9 nights, and the monster suffers from him. The horse decides that I. is dead and flees to their kingdom. The mother rejoices, releases BP from prison, brings her to the palace, drinks and has fun. Iyu wakes up, throws off her monster, grieves that there is no horse, goes wherever her eyes look. It comes to a hut in the woods. There's a blind old man sitting in it. Without seeing I., he recognizes him and says hello. Says he knew his dad. He explains that he was wounded in one battle, after which his eyes were covered with wild meat. He could behold Ivan Tsarevich if he was tied up with wild meat with something. Ivan Tsarevich blindfolds his eyes with his belt. The old man takes him to the vast realm. I. gives him some money and leaves his belt at his request, or he won't make it back. She asks to spend the night in the kingdom. The king allows it. It is announced to give up any of the three daughters if I. solves their dreams, otherwise he will cut off his head. I. does not sleep at night, he watches. The princesses get up, wash, drink from one bottle - they are covered with feathers, from the other they become winged and fly away. I. uses the same bubbles to go after them. The third sister is more cunning, noticing that it is noisy and loud today, the other two decide that it is because they ate and dressed up. They fly to another realm to visit their lovers, three brothers princes, and their father is told that they are dreaming about it. I. steals the personalized rings of princesses and princes. Watching princesses get rid of their feathers and wings with bubbles, does the same. In the morning, the princesses tell their father that they flew to another kingdom in their dreams and sat there with the princes. I. says what he saw and shows his rings. The king allows you to marry any daughter, I. chooses the youngest, beautiful, and gets half the kingdom. His wife gives birth to him two sons. I. goes to his kingdom with his wife and sons. She discovers that the mother and BP live in the palace as husband and wife, hangs up a BP, and the mother forgives. The horse comes running, rejoices, I. caresses him, keeps him at home. Sons grow up to be heroes, everyone respects them. Mother dies, I. is happy with his wife]: Sokolov, Sokolov 1915:29-34; Russians (Kursk, Leninsky District) [The governor has a clever son "a red sun in his forehead, the moon in the back of his head." The boy's extraordinary strength is manifested in children's games - he tears off other children's arms and legs. The king orders him to be expelled from the state. The son cannot choose a horse for a long time, finds him in the last stable, tied in three chains, and the horse calls him his master. The mother gives her son a talisman ring as a goodbye (she makes wishes come true). At the crossroads, the governor's son chooses the road on which he is destined to die. He drinks water and falls asleep by the stream, the mermaids steal his ring for the old devil. He cries, goes into Baba Yaga's house (a hut with chicken legs), she is surprised, feeds him and drinks him, puts him to bed and wakes him up on the third day, promises to help him find a ring, and gives him a guide - a cat. They return to the place where the governor's son slept, wind the ropes, when asked by the imp, explain that they want to pull the two banks together to crush the devils. He offers to fight, the young man points at the bear, says that it is his grandfather and offers to fight him. The bear grabs the imp, he runs away. The old devil takes a ring to the young man, says that the governor asked the king for permission for his son to return to the kingdom.
