Everyday Fairy Tale as an Axiological Source According to the Views of the Peasants on the Master and his Power in the Russian Countryside

Abstract

 The article analyzes the problem of presenting an everyday fairy tale as an axiological source. A household tale cannot be considered as a historical source in its classical sense, since the characters in it in their actions and manifestations are on the verge of fantasy. The story remains a story. But the authors of everyday fairy tales, for the sake of attractiveness and giving class recognition of fairy tale characters, included axiological attitudes of the corresponding value plan in their image. It is these axiological nuances that are of important research interest, in particular, what axiological dominants characterized the fabulous landlord and what did the authors of fairy tales want to emphasize. In everyday fairy tales, the range of behavioral models of the master is quite wide, which confirms the lack of cliché in the depiction of the master in the context of his coexistence with his peasants.
