The topic of this page is Russian folk tale "The Snow Maiden". First, we will discuss a little, where did the fabulous image of the Snow Maiden come from? And then we'll read the fairy tale "Snow Maiden".

The history of the appearance of the image of the Snow Maiden.

So, when and where did the image of the Snow Maiden appear? It was formed in the minds of the Russian people over several centuries. It seems that, at first, in Russian folk tales, the image of an ice girl arose - a granddaughter, whom a childless old man and an old woman made of snow both for the joy of people and for themselves as a consolation.

But there is an assumption that the basis of the tale was the ancient Slavic ritual of the funeral of Kostroma. That is, with a certain degree of assumption, it can be assumed that Kostroma is not just the birthplace of the Snow Maiden, but the Snow Maiden herself is. Kostroma was also portrayed in different ways. Sometimes it was a young woman, accompanied by a round dance, walking in white clothes, with an oak branch in her hands. And sometimes - a straw effigy of a woman. Kostroma simultaneously means both the game character and the game itself. At the end of this game, Kostroma falls ill and dies, but then gets up and dances. The final episode of this game or ritual, namely, the death and subsequent resurrection of Kostroma, makes her related to the image of the Snow Maiden. Since Kostroma can be perceived as the spirit of vegetation (seasonal spirit), leaving at the onset of its time.

In the tale of V.I. Dahl's "The Snow Maiden Girl" an old man and an old woman watch how other people's guys "roll lumps out of the snow, play snowballs" and decide to make their own daughter. Much later, his spring fairy tale the outstanding Russian playwright A. N. Ostrovsky also composed on this topic. According to his fairy tale, numerous performances are still being staged in theaters, and the feature film "The Snow Maiden" was also shot. And over time, the image of the Snow Maiden in the public consciousness has been transformed, and the Snow Maiden becomes the granddaughter of Santa Claus, and now we associate it with the New Year and Christmas holidays. By the way, the Snow Maiden is a purely Russian character and no other people in the world have either Christmas or new year holidays does not occur.

Well, we are already delayed, let's still be the children of the Russian folk read the fairy tale "Snow Maiden". And at the end of the page watch the cartoon "Snegurochka" online.

Russian folktale

Once upon a time there lived an old man and an old woman in the same village. They lived well, together. And everything would be fine, but here's the grief - they did not have children.

Here again came the snowy snowy and frosty, the snowdrifts were piled up to the waist, the children poured out into the street to play, and the old man and the old woman looked at them from the window and thought about their misfortune.

The old man says:

And what, old woman, can we make ourselves a daughter out of snow?

Let's do it, the old woman says.

The old man put on his hat, they went out into their garden and began to sculpt a daughter out of the snow. They rolled up a snowball, attached arms and legs to it, put a snow head on top. The old man sculpted his nose, mouth, and chin. They look - and the Snow Maiden's lips turned pink, her eyes opened; The Snow Maiden looks at the old people and smiles. Then she nodded her head, moved her arms and legs, shook the snow off herself - and emerged from the snowdrift as a living girl.

The old people were delighted, they brought her to the hut. Look, do not fall in love.

And the old people's daughter began to grow by leaps and bounds; every day becomes more and more beautiful. She herself is white as snow, a braid to the waist, fair-haired, and only there is no blush on her cheeks at all.

Old people are not overjoyed at their daughter, they do not have a soul in her. My daughter is growing and smart, and cheerful, and smart. She is friendly and kind to everyone. And the work in the hands of the Snow Maiden argues, but when she sings a song, you will hear.

Here the winter is over. The beginning of the spring sun to warm. The grass on the thawed patches turned green, the larks began to sing. And the Snow Maiden suddenly became sad for some reason. The old man asks her:

What's wrong with you, baby? What have you become so unhappy? Are you unwell?

Everything is fine, father, everything is fine, mother, I am healthy.

So the last snow melted, the flowers in the meadows bloomed, the birds flew in. And the Snow Maiden becomes sadder every day, more and more silent. Hiding from the sun all the time. Everyone is looking for shade and chill, and most of all, he rejoices at the rain.

One day a black cloud swooped in, large hail fell from it. The Snow Maiden was delighted with the hail like erratic pearls. And when the sun came out again and the hail melted, she began to cry again, and so bitterly, as if she were a sister by her own brother.

After the spring came the red summer. The girls gathered for a walk in the grove, the Snow Maiden is called:

Snow Maiden, come with us to the forest to walk, dance, sing songs.

The Snow Maiden did not want to go into the forest, but her old woman persuaded her:

Go, daughter with girlfriends, have fun!

The girls with the Snow Maiden came to the forest. They began to collect, to weave wreaths, to sing songs, to dance. And only the Snow Maiden is still unhappy.

And when the evening came, the girls gathered brushwood, laid out a fire and began to jump over the fire one after another. And the Snow Maiden stood behind everyone.

She ran in turn after her friends. She jumped over the fire, and suddenly melted, turned into a white cloud. A cloud rose high and disappeared in the sky. Only the girlfriends heard how behind something plaintively groaned: “Ay!” They turned around - and the Snow Maiden was already gone.

They began to call her:

Ay, ay, Snow Maiden!

And they only echoed from the forest

AT every thing in the world is going on, everything is said in a fairy tale. There lived a grandfather and a woman. They had plenty of everything - a cow, a sheep, and a cat on the stove, but there were no children. They were very sad, they all grieved. Once in winter, white snow fell knee-deep. The neighbor's kids poured out into the street - to ride on a sled, throw snowballs, and they began to sculpt a snowman. The grandfather looked at them from the window, looked and said to the woman:

- What, wife, you sit in thought, you look at other people's children, let's go and we will take a walk in our old age, we will also blind a snowman.

And the old woman, it’s true, also had a merry hour. - Well, let's go, grandfather, to the street. But why should we sculpt a woman? Let's fashion the daughter of the Snow Maiden.

No sooner said than done.

The old people went to the garden and let's sculpt a snowy daughter. They fashioned a daughter, inserted two blue beads instead of eyes, made two dimples on her cheeks, and a mouth from a scarlet ribbon. How good is the snow daughter Snegurochka! Grandfather and woman look at her - they don’t see enough, they admire - they don’t stop admiring. And the Snow Maiden's mouth smiles, the hair curls.

The Snow Maiden moved her legs and arms, moved from her place and went through the garden to the hut.

The grandfather and the woman seemed to have lost their minds - they have grown to the place.

- Grandfather, - the woman shouts, - yes, this is our living daughter, dear Snow Maiden! And she rushed into the hut ... That was some joy!

The Snow Maiden is growing by leaps and bounds. Every day - the Snow Maiden is more and more beautiful. Grandfather and woman will not see enough of her, will not breathe. And the Snow Maiden is like a white snowflake, her eyes are like blue beads, a blond braid to the waist. Only there is no blush on the Snow Maiden’s face, and there is not a blood in her lips. And the Snow Maiden is so good!

Here came the spring-clear, the buds swelled, the bees flew into the field, the lark sang. All the guys are happy, welcome, the girls sing spring songs. But the Snow Maiden got bored, she became sad, she kept looking out the window, shedding tears.

So the red summer has come, flowers have bloomed in the gardens, bread is ripening in the fields ...

More than ever, the Snow Maiden frowns, she hides everything from the sun, everything would be in her shade and in the cold, and even better in the rain.

Grandfather and woman all gasp:

“Are you well, my daughter?” - I'm fine, grandma.

And she hides everything in a corner, she doesn’t want to go out into the street. Once the girls gathered in the forest for berries - for raspberries, blueberries, scarlet strawberries.

They began to call the Snow Maiden with them:

- Let's go, let's go, Snow Maiden! .. - Let's go, let's go, girlfriend! And then grandfather and grandmother say:

- Go, go, Snow Maiden, go, go, baby, have fun with your friends.

The Snow Maiden took a box, went into the forest with her friends. Girlfriends walk through the forest, weave wreaths, dance round dances, sing songs. And the Snow Maiden found a cold stream, sits near it, looks into the water, wets her fingers in fast water, plays with drops, like pearls.

So the evening has come. The girls played out, put wreaths on their heads, kindled a fire of brushwood, and began to jump over the fire. The Snow Maiden is reluctant to jump ... Yes, her friends stuck to her. The Snow Maiden came up to the fire ... She stands, she trembles, there is not a blood in her face, her blond braid crumbled ... The girlfriends shouted:

- Jump, jump, Snow Maiden!

The Snow Maiden ran up and jumped ...

It rustled over the fire, moaned plaintively, and the Snow Maiden was gone.

White steam stretched over the fire, twisted into a cloud, a cloud flew into the sky.

The Snow Maiden melted ...
