Summary/Abstract: The myth and the fairytale have their integrity in the textual architecture of Russian folktales. The way they are perceived is stronger when the fantasy and magic-related content layer moves and even changes the myths. What dominates is the gradation of the magic intensity of people’s intimacy in relation to their connection with the surrounding world and with the imagining of the supernatural. Simultaneously, reality mixes with fantasy with a large dose of experience, creating a new imaginary world that invokes unusual magic fantasies of both the story teller and the listener. Simply put, the whole moving folktale should be mobile to an extent to which children can perceive the occurrences surrounding them or those within them. Our research findings are based on a new Macedonian published text: The Gold Horse. Russian folktales. Selected and translated by Emil Niami. Publisher: MI-AN, Skopje, 2018.
