Abstract

The article deals with the fables of Ivan Vasilievich Kapchigashev. Three fables “Tag üstünde saryp” (A bush on the mountain), “Ala saaskhan” (A magpie), “Aba paza Tülgü” (The Bear and the Fox), written in the late 50-ies of XX century in the context of the plot, thematic, artistic and pictorial originality are analyzed in detail. His fables are still not translated into Russian. Having allocated the main heroes of his fables (they are animals and plants), it becomes clear that a great influence has here the oral folklore of Khakasses, on the one hand, and influence in the form of borrowing of the Russian fable tradition, on the other hand. I. Kapchigashev’s fables present episodes from the life of people in the image of animals or plants with dialogic folk speech, at the end of which a moral is obligatory. The subjects of the fables have several directions – they are social, moral and spiritual, reflecting the modern reality. All the fables of the writer are written in verse form.
