Where lives blasting immortal in a fairy tale. Where is the death of Koscheya
Koschei the Deathless - popular character slavic fairy tales, epics I. folk tales. Correct him correctly.
By tradition, it is most often depicted as an evil magician, negative characterWho asks to people problems. He appeared an old man, and very skinny, sometimes even a living skeleton.
Image of Koschery.
IN folk fairy tales Koschey Immortal appears either as the king and an evil sorcerer - sometimes riding a magic horse that could speak in the human language, and sometimes go.
This is a skinny old man, almost skeleton. Koschey appears as the Lord of Total Underground world, very stingy - he loves all his gold and does not want to share him with someone.
Koshi abilities
Most fairy tales argue that Koshchei is a very powerful sorcerer, which has a big arsenal of superpowers. For example, blasphemes can take the appearance of wild animals, and most often turns into a black crow. However, despite the ability to reincarnation, blasting does not like to contact animals - most of all he likes to remain in his own appearance: a bad elder, but very powerful.
Killing wagon is simply so impossible, because the life of the sorcerer is hidden at the end of the game, and that is in the egg, an egg in a duck, duck in a hare, but the hare is sitting in a locked chest. And only the flap to the needle can be destroyed by blazes - otherwise it is completely invulnerable.
Initially, in the first fairy tales about the blazes, it could not be able to defeat him at all, as it just did not know about the existence magic Eggs and needles. In the last fairy tales of the needle, they also died even several times.
Demonstrations of the strength of blasphemes in fairy tales are quite a lot and all of them perfectly demonstrate his capabilities. For example, he was without any problems to turn the Ivan Tsarevich to the ordinary nut, and the whole kingdom was in stone. Conditions Koschey, like most characters of Russian fairy tales, fight on swords. His favorite weapon is a semi-third sword and no one owns them better than the evil sorcerer
Where else lives
Hading lives in a castle or palace, the kingdom is located for the thirty lands - on the edge of the world. To get there, wear not one pair of iron boots. Koschey Immortal - King of Gold and Silver, Pearls.
Having immortal in fairy tales
In Russian folk tales this character always acts as the main opponent good character. Koschey kidnaps beautiful princesses, dismissed turns into animals. For example, the princess frog.
One of the main enemies of the Koschery immortal is another fairly strong witch - Baga-Yaga. Of course, her strength does not reach the level of blaspheme, but it often takes part in the overthrow of the immortal. For example, it was Buga-Yaga who told Ivan Tsarevich's secret to death. In rare cases of Koschey and Baga Yaga are on one side of the barricades. The swung enemies have always been warriors, however, in most fairy tales, they always become victims of the dark sorcerer, as they do not know the way to kill Koschey, unlike Ivan Tsarevich.

Why blasphemy immortal. This is a very mysterious character of East Slavic magic fairy tales. Why is it so terrible and so negative? Is it really because he kidnapped a beloved woman (and other atrocities behind him not a fairy tale)? What kind of name is - wrap? Why a stingy, why thin? Who was "during life" - where did you get to the fairy tale? Why is the immortal, and why death is stubcised in an egg?
There should be answers, because in folk magic fairy tales there is nothing casual.
Let's start with the "dossier". Koschey Immortal, he Kashchi, king, porridge, bones, koskos, bones, koshuuti soulless, Koszchun, Korcun, Karachun, queen-prosprosishche, blaze trypetov, etc., etc.
Place of residence - Thied kingdom, underground kingdom, glass mountains.
Palace, for example, from carbunkl-stone, indoor gold.
The occupation is the king.
The owner in the palace is usually not causing: he is busy war, hunting or just flying in Russia.
Relatives are unknown. Love Koshiya - Heroine Fairy Tale, kidnapped in Russia; Love is sincere, but usually unrequited.
There are no friends.
Enemies: the main character Fairy tales (husband, brother, groom stolen) and Baba Yaga.
Personal qualities: Huddoba, physical power, sometimes - witchcraft, the ability to fly. And most importantly - immortality. (As for the misfortune, it is not mentioned in fairy tales, but it follows logically from thin, with a tsarist richness.) It's almost everything.
Excerpture of information is explained: the fairy tale is devoted to the not life of Koschey, but his death.
Since the wins in fairy tales are a bit different, and their sad fate is somewhat different, we will highlight two types of wagon.
1. Koschey steppe. In the fairy tale appears as a prisoner, chained in Chulana, from where he is freed by a hero or heroine. Koschey is worn to their kingdom, taking a heroine with him. The hero, reaching the monastery of Koschery, tries three times to cross the woman, twice the blasphemes they overtake them, for the third time Koschey dies from the hooves of the magic horse. (Hero Hero Dan Yaga Steppe, Lady Kony.)
2. Koschey North-Forest. The whirlwind flies, carries out a woman, only then it turns out that swirl and was a wicker. The death of his, concluded in the egg, he hid in a duck, duck - matree - still in several animals, all this - in the chest, to the top of an oak, which is somewhere on the sea island and is worshled by a blazing enemy's forest. Baba Yaga here is respectively forest, hidden. According to her pressing, the main character is valid. At the time of breaking the hero of the eggs of blasphemes.
The second, "Northern" type of blaspheme is presented wider. But in the fairy tales of blasting, the purity of the type does not necessarily observe. It happens and "Northern" hang on chains; It happens, and "steppe" dies from the egg.
A mansion from fairy tales is challenged about Ivan Godinovich. In it, firstly, the heroine gives his love to blade (for which Ivan then executes), secondly, the death of the wagon from his own arrows, and thirdly, the patronymic of Koshchey - Tripetovich is named.
We logically go to questions about the name and origin.
Many epic characters have prototypes historical persons. Such epic villains, like Shark-Giant, Kopshik, inherited the names of Polovtsy Khan Khanukan and Konchak, famous for the annals and "Word about the regiment of Igor".
In the same "Word" three times mentioned a certain warehouse. In the following contexts:
1. Taking Igor Polovtsy: "Tu Igor-Prince is high from the saddle of Zlata and in the saddle of the cocho."
Just like that - with large lettersas a name is own - written by Koschey in the Musion Pushkin edition "Words about the regiment of Igor".
According to the first translators - commentators, it is this wagon that they will be mentioned in the Ipatiev Chronicle: "And the Polovtsians watered from Koshiya from Gavrilkova from Islavic that the Russian princes go on them, and Polovtsy ran." It happened 20 years before Igor Shelf. Why would this time be a blaze from a modest Polovtsian intelligence khankoe approximate?
But then it turned out that both in the "Word", and in the chronicles of "Koschei" - the noun nominal, means: slave, servant, prisoner.
Tryurki "Cousch".
And Polovtsian "Resident" was a servant from a certain gavrilka, and the Saddle of the prince of Igor got the Kolaopskoe or captive, and it is renowned - this is a challenge price for a slave, and Khan Konchaka is called "Spear Public" (in order of wishes).
Our fabulous shrug is also sometimes a prisoner. But not this role gave him a name.
Rather, on the contrary. The word "cat" penetrated on Russia from the steppes not earlier than the VI century n. e. And Koschey was already a wicked.
Slavs took a new word, crossed it with old, similar. (It seems that now the e-mail is crossed in "Emel", etc.).
The slave in South Rus began to be called wagon, and the "steppe" wagon became also a prisoner. And therefore, it is for the "steppe" proscience characteristic.
What is the first sense of the name? IN AND. Dal rightly made the name of the blaspheme from the word "caustic", meaning harm, damage, patchtle, swearing.
The root of this word ancient and a branches: caste - bone - Kaz - goats - every side - Kosch. Already in the old Slavonic manuscripts, "Casiti" is found - harming; "Crazy" - destroy, rally; "Dressing adolescence" - expel the fruit.
Modern Polish "Kazhich", Czech "Kazit", Russian dialects "crack" and "Kall", "to Kostyt" - means one and the same: spoil, dump, harm, scold-induce.
Noun from "Kostyt" - "Skipping".
And the child who does in the pants - "Koshchenok", "Kostenok". "Pares", "Pakota" - from the same root, but with the prefix "PA-".
In the ancient Russian chronicles "Conduct the pakosity" meant - to make massive murders. "Clasp" - Rue. "B.", "Friend" - crippled, obsessed; spoken by a slogony or other damage; eunuch. (I draw attention that the same word "caustment" is indicated by the crouch, and the atrocity; the physical and damage is equalized.
So, the word "Branj" means both the battle, and Rugan, and the word "fly" - to scold, the child name of Baba-Yaga, comes from an ancient root with the meaning of "evil", "harm".)
So, the meaning of the name of Koschery quite consistent with the idea of \u200b\u200bits maliciousness, "astute".
As for his bias, thin, then this question can be found out from dictionaries. In the manuscripts of the XI century, the words "coherent", "Skilled" are found in the meaning of "skinny", "thin"; In the XVII century - "Kosha" - in the same meaning. Whether these adjectives are taking place from the word "bone", or Khudoba was understood as a consequence of damage, "Blasty" - to unambiguously not to say, but that the name itself suggests on the thoughts of Herbury - obviously.
It should also be noted that although the prototype is not a fabulous blasting in Russian history, but there were no stale blasts in Russia. Even the autograph of the Novgorod keysticker was found on the name of the Koschei - the bark gradder of the XV century. Take a look at the telephone directory - how many of us are wicked. And the ancestors were visible to blasphemes. But these wins, if they had a relation to a fabulous disease, then only secondary.
Let's go back to blasphemy immortal. His name makes sense, the corresponding role, which means it is not just a name, but a pseudonym. Genuine nameIf anyone knew, not called out loud: taboo. Because its owner must be sought in mythology.
The address of Koschery, as remember, is a three-way kingdom, where a living person can only enter through the hut Baba Yaga. And this is the kingdom, and Yagu studied in detail the philologist V.Ya. Proppage
This is the kingdom of death. Yaga is a border creature, no wonder she has one leg bone, and the hut turns, like the turnstile on the passage.
IN Trident kingdom The Russian spirit is as unpleasant as in the Russian kingdom - dead spirit. (No wonder to shut down, taking into account Ivan.) For this kingdom and are characterized by dairy rivers with ferrous shores, palaces of precious materials. And Koschey - the lord of that kingdom! That is - ... who?
The plot of the abduction of the bride is ancient, like humanity itself. Only at first it was a personal death of a particular bride, it appeared in the form of a snake or bird.
Blasty - death in general - kill harder. For the difficulty of blazes, hid his death.
Not so good original reception, these are examples. The life of the ancient Greek Melagra was headed; He head burned, and he died in flour.
Ancient Egyptian Bata hid his heart into a flower of acacia; The flower was broken - Bata died; Heart found - Bata risen.
Persian prince wore soul in the dagger on the neck. Guess what happened to the prince when the dagger was kidnapped, and that - when the dagger managed to return.
But why is the death of Koschey in the egg? It seems obvious - after all, life has been imprisoned. But everything is more complicated.
There is our wicked "Brothers in the egg" Abroad - also villain, also the kidnappers of women and, too, who also stared their death (heart, soul, life).
You can meet them in the fairy tales of the Scandinavian, Celtic, Bulgarian, Polish, Albanian under the pseudonyms, a giant without a heart, a magician body-without soul, snakes, Cherven Vyatr, Shaitan, and even just a witch. But everyone has an almost hidden cherished egg, usually duck. (But, let's say, in the Italian fairy tale, the egg hides the eagle in himself.)
Now let's turn to the "dossier" and attract another pseudonym Koshiya - Karachun. This word actually death and denotes, but not only. And the winter sun, the shortest day, patent holiday. What reminds of ancient combination of death and winter concepts.
The word "death" itself leads to the leaders and frost's words.
Lopards had a Winter and Death of Mouth, the ruler underground kingdom - Rotayl.
Back in the XIX century, the blades coped the holiday in honor of the company - December 24, that is, exactly in our Karachun.
And the egg here is. The end of winter, according to the northern myths, heralds a duck (or goose, swan), driving an egg on the sea - the sun. With the retreat of glaciers, the myth lost the relevance for the Europeans, and the egg mocked in a fairy tale.
There are such options for a fairy tale, where blazing is quite just to see the egg to lose force. In the XIX century, american scientist J.D. Kurtin seriously studied Slavic myths and fairy tales. Kurtin knew Russian, visited Russia, where he was called Eremem Davidovich Kurtin.
Having learned a fairy tale about the blasphemy of the Immortal, Kurtin shared the myth recorded by him from the Indians of North America.
The character of myth, whose name means winter, brings frost and snow. Winter invulnerable, for his heart is somewhere hidden. However, the enemy of winter finds a heart, burns it, and winter dies. Here you can please - Winter Ipostasya Koschey in pure form.
Even if the similarity of the myths of Indian and European is not a trail of a single culture, but simply incredible coincidence, then it is no coincidence (in scientific it is called "convergence").
Conclusions. Why blasphemy immortal.
1. The name of the blaspheme is Slavic, means "villain", "malware", "destroyer", "Paktozhnik". In essence, the alias, replacing true namewhich cannot be called.
2. Consonance with the Turkic word "Cats" (slave) introduced in the southern version of the fairy tale episode of imprisonment of Koschey.
3. Consonal with the words "bone", "coherent" (thin) contributed to the ideas about the bony appearance of Koschey.
4. In the fairy tale of Koschey, came from mythology, where he was the Death Degen, and earlier - and winter.
5. Egg, bearing the death of Koschey, before was an egg - the sun, winning the winter - death.
6. That's why Koschey is terrible, majestic, incomprehensible.
7. If you recreate the Slavic pagan calendar, the shortest day of the year should be dedicated to Kosheyu - Karachun. (And not at all February 29, as some offer.)

Etymology
Word "Koschey" In the XII century meant a slave, prisoner; In the word about the regiment of Igor, the term will be mentioned twice: Igor, having captured to Kind, sits down "in the saddle of Koscheyevo"; The author "Words" says that if Vsevolod Yuryevich appeared against Polovtsov, the great nest, then Chaga (Slave) would be in harness, and Koschey on Risen (Small cash units). In the same value of Koschey appears in the Ipatiev Chronicles. IN bristian gramotes The XII century from Novgorod and the strike of blasphemes (also kobiy, with a dialective Novgorod reading, as-like -) is found as a personal name. This is the word, according to the most common etymology, from the Turkic Košči "slave", which, in turn, is formed from Koš "Camp, Parking" (in the Old Russian "Kosh" - Stan, Towing; in the Ukrainian language "Kissh" means Stan, settlement , And "Koshevaya" - a foreman, the head of the kosheva. In belorussian Kashevatsi meant to spread the camp); However, A. I. Sobolevsky offered Slavic etymology - from Kostyt "Burn".
KoscheyAs the name of the Hero of the fairy tale and as the designation of a skinny person, Max Fasmer in its dictionary does not consider non-turquisism, but invoking the Slavic word (omonymous) and connects with the word bone (National Slavonic * KOST)
Appearance
Koschei the Deathless (Koschei the Immortal) - Negative character of Russian fairy tales and Russian folklore. King, sometimes - rider on the magic talking horse. Often acts as a kidnapper of the bride of the main character. It is depicted in the form of a thin high old man, it is often disjacious and sting (cf. "There's king of blaspheme over the kilt, A. S. Pushkin).
Origin
First of all, we know that this is one of the bright fabulous characters. Its appearance is vague, and the interpretation options are contradictory. In addition, his name has not completely clear etymology. There are at least two versions of the origin of this dubious fabulous (or maybe not a fabulous) personality: 1. This is the result of the people's imagination, subsequently became the folklore and the city's property. 2. Koschey Immortal is the prototype of a real person. Koschey Immortal, photo of which for a number of reasons is not possible to demonstrate (only drawings) as folklore fictional character endowed with many powers. It turns into a black crow, and sometimes in a flying snake. This allows it to easily and quickly move through the light and different Mira, painting everything that he needs. And it is necessary for him exactly gold and other wealth ... Remember, how does Pushkin say about Koshiya, who cares over the kilt? That's how it is. According to the folk giving, the water gives it water. Drinking a lot of three buckets, he is able to tame even the most Snake Gorynych! By the way, some researchers in the field slavic mythology They argue that images of the immortal and Gorynych are interchangeable in Russian fairy tales. Both of them just adore wealth, and also stealing beauties girls! However, Koshchey is endowed with a little great power, besides the snake of Gorynych. According to this version, the prototype of fabulous blaspheme is not anyone else like Holy Kasyan himself. The fact is that the aforementioned prototype could well be called to blaspheme due to the consonance of these names. In addition, two holidays are coincided: the day of the black and the day of St. Kasyana Slavs was celebrated at the same time - at the end of February. According to some data, on this holiday they put on strange outfits in the form of human bones With the crown on the head, which to this day is popular in children's matinees and in fabulous performances. It refers to the costume of the blasphemy of the immortal. Meanwhile, Kasyan did a lot so that Christianity spread on Earth, but he was still considered evil, and not holy!
Habitat
The exact habitat of the hero is unknown, in different sources Mentioned differently.
- For trident lands - in the fairy tale "Tsarevna-frog" the heroine has time to quit the phrase for the farewell to Ivan-Tsarevich: "Look for me for the thirteut of the lands, in the thirtieth of the kingdom, in the bridal immortal." In such a dramatic moment, Vasilisa wonderful would not say empty, no meaningful promsories. She pointed out Ivan Tsarevich to the exact place where the kingdom kingdom is. There she had to look for her to rescue the captivity from Cascoeva.
- The perception of the wiser of the immortal as a representative of the "other" world, the world of death, indicate the characteristics of its location. The kingdom of Koschery is very far: the hero has to go to the "glue the light, at the very end" it. There from all paths leads the longest, complex and dangerous: the hero wear the iron boots, an iron coat and an iron hat, eats three iron bread; He has to overcome numerous obstacles, contact assistants for advice and begging, join the fight against a cunning enemy and even die and resurrected. The dwelling Koschery Immortal is depicted in a fairy tale as a palace, a castle, a large house, "Fa-Grater - Golden windows." Here are inconspicable wealth - gold, silver, scory pearls, which hero after the victory over the enemy takes away from his kingdom. According to researchers, the gold painting of objects in the mythopoetical consciousness is perceived as a sign of the other world. The same applies to the image of glass mountains, where, according to some texts, fairy tales, the Palace of Koschery is immortal. Lives in the underground kingdom.
Relatives
- According to some retrospects Koschey Remitted son. Mother of Earth in ancient Slavic mythology.
- Related links Koschery Immortal. E. V. Karavaeva notes: in a fairy tale, it is directly mentioned that Vasilisa is an daughter Koscheya The immortal, which he does not want anyone to marry, which is another manifestation of his greed and compassion, authoritarianism. And the name of Vasilisa comes from the Byzantine "Bazilos", which means "king" or "Queen". That is Vasilisa - royal daughter, it consists in kinship with blazing and confirms its high social status king.
Character characteristics and habits
Ruthless, angry, terrible sorcerer, terribly stingy.
In the dictionary of the Russian language Dal "Kashche" is written through "a". And explain why. "Kashing", according to Daly, comes from the word "Rosit", which means "to dirty, shit, picure, painting, sorry, scold, fill." "Calcuse" is a dirtyness, abomination, nastiness, firm ..
In this case, the name very accurately determines the nature and habits of our hero.

Hello, dear students!
Today, I will not lead you for a walk, because the one with whom we have to get to know, no less mighty sorcerer, and maybe even more than Baba Yaga. So, pour tea, take the freshly baked buns in our stove, listen to my story and look, "Zhowley waved his hand towards the stove, and everything, turned, saw that they were hung pictures.
I think everyone guess that it would be about the blasphemy of the immortal. Most often it is believed that Baba Yaga and Koschey Immortal It seems like friends. However, it is Baba Yaga who gives the secret, like a breasting to the womb of the immortal and how to destroy him. Despite the fact that his name is such a speaking - immortal, "his death exists. She was at the end of the needle, a needle in the egg, an egg in a duck, a duck in a hare, hare in a cheese, a chest, firmly chained with chains, hanging on an oak (or buried under oak), which stands island in the middle of the sea-okayne.
However, in some fairy tales main role In the defeat, Koschey plays a magic horse.
Ivan fattened the foal on the green meadows, and the glorious horse rose from it. He went on a horse at Marya and again it from Koshii. Koshchey tried to keep up with them, but now Ivan's horse was even better than the Koshcheeeva horse. Lives for a long time, briefly, caught the blasting fugitives and wanted to cut the Ivan Sable, but Ivanov Kon hit the won and smashed his head. Ivan spread the fire and burned Koscheya on the fire, and the ashes of him let the wind
We will talk about magic horses on other lectures.
In another embodiment, Ivan is not burned by Koschery, but finished it with his closet.
It turns out that in different fairy tales we are talking about different wins? This reminds us already the situation with Baba Yaga.
What force has blasphemes?
It can turn into a flying snake or black crow. So he quickly moves through the worlds and steal what he likes. And you like girls-beauties and jewels. Remember Pushkin? "There the king of Koschey over the kilt will quiet." But how much he shifted the beauties to himself, none agreed to marry him, and even indecent treasures They were not chosen.
Koschey virtuoso owns magic conversion. Can turn anyone anything.
Supernatural power to blasphemy gives water. He drinks three buckets at once, and then break 12 chains, on which he is kept in the dungeon of Maria Morava, it is not necessary for him.
Let us now turn to the very name of this malicious and all-powerful old man.
The Old Slavonic word "Kosh" ("Kohst") meant "dry, skinny, thin body." This word is close to the meaning of the word "bone" and how it is impossible to characterize the most widged: a low old man, which is so much so that only some bones are visible. Straight walking skeleton.
Some researchers slavic myths It is believed that the image of the blasphemy of the immortal and snake of Gorynych in Russian fairy tales is interchangeable: both lovers love, steal beauties. But Koschey is endowed with other power, which is beyond the snake of Gorynych. So this is still different creatures.
There is a version that the word "blaspheme" goes back to "Koszkin", which means the sorcerer. Indeed, only the almighty magician, or a person who turned to demonic forces as Faust could become an immortal.
Where the trees live there, the trees do not grow, do not sing the bird, the earth does not fertrick, does not allow the sun's fertile rays. In the Koscheyev kingdom always twilight. Everything is scattered, dried, frozen. What does it remind? Well, of course, the winter, the laid frosts that ride the rivers and can die all living things. It is rightly noticed that under the blazing the immortal could be hidden ancient God death from the cold. And so was. It's Karachun - the evil spirit, cutting life that brings death from the cold. The same word is called winter sun. Karachun - underground God who commands frosts. His helpers: Beran's beans, and wolf-blizzards.
It is associated with a cold, the following facts are associated with a cold, indicate the following facts. On the way to the kingdom of Koscheyev, first the traveler comes across brown bear - Lord of the forests. Following him, birds, in particular, flight, for example, a duck, which can be seen in the northern tundra during the summer nesting period. Next is fish. Pike, but perhaps it is a later replacement, and before there was some kind of fish from nordic seas, for example, Beluha. Thus, the path goes from the south to the north. And it is in the north in their terrible and cold panels lives blasting immortal.
And what is immortality? Fortunately is this or punishment? Perhaps in antiquity there was a ritual of finding immortality. In any case, the archaeologists during excavations the grave of the founder of Chernigov, Prince Black, was found in the fairy tales of the scene: the needle - in the egg, the egg - in the duck, duck - in a hare, hare - in the cherished Larz. The ritual of finding immortality is forgotten, but his symbol has been preserved - the color of immortals. Rough and dry to the touch, yellowish, reddish. They grow in the ground or torn put into a glass with water - there is no particular difference. They can stand without water and do not change their painting. Life in them seems to be, and it seems not. Prefer to plant such flowers on the graves. Explanation is: these flowers are between alive and dead, like a border. We are touching them in this world, and the dead - in that.
Maybe the immortality of blasphemy is? Life is not in life, but death is unattainable. And he stuck between the two worlds and remains so as long as Ivan-Tsarevich will not save him from such eternal flour, because there is still more than that, the most beautiful, peace. The smell of a living person he immediately feels with disgusting.
And at least the image of the blasphemy of the immortal is so unpleasant, but it is interested in many researchers of Slavic mythology.
