The Smorodina River and the Kalinov Bridge are often mentioned in Slavic mythology. In fairy tales and epics, this is the place of battles of heroes and princes with the Serpent Gorynych and Baba Yaga, and in historical traditions this is a kind of boundary between the two worlds of Yav and Nav.

What is Kalinov Bridge?

Tales and beliefs different regions describe this border between the worlds in different ways. AT western regions Kalinov bridge is:

• purgatory through which the soul enters;
• the boundary between the domains of death (Nav) and living people (Yav);
• possession of evil power;
• kingdom of Morena;
• the place where witches draw their power;
• the path along which evil spirits come into the world of people on the eve of the holiday of Ivan Kupala.

The ancient Slavs believed that only the path along the Kalinov Bridge determines whether the soul is worthy to go to heaven or its place in the fiery hyena. If during life the soul did not live by the law of God and did not adhere to the commandments, demons stopped it in the middle of the bridge and took it not into Light, but into Darkness. The mythology of the Slavs does not tell where exactly the Kalinov Bridge is located, all the information boils down to the fact that it is located at the end of the world.

Kalinov bridge - what is it among the Slavs?

The Slavs believed that the Kalinov Bridge was not just a transition between two worlds, it was a place of atonement for deadly sins. The bridge itself, according to legend, was not in the Russian lands, but far away in the thirtieth kingdom. Pantheon of the Ancients Slavic gods varied, but Morena, in whose power there are decisions to take a life from a person or leave him on earth, demanded worship and personal possessions. Kalinov Mostok is the path along which the goddess of Death visits the world of the living in search of new subjects.

Who guards the Kalinov bridge?

Winged Serpent Gorynych and Kalinov Bridge are tied together. So, the mythology of the Slavs calls the place where the Smorodina River and the Kalinov Bridge are located the transition between the worlds, and the Serpent the destroyer, because one who has not completed his earthly path cannot enter the Morena territory. The Zmiy Gorynych himself is also not a simple character, he:

• Monster Three-headed immortal;
• fire-breathing dragon;
• guardian of the gates to Nav;
• chained dog Morena;
• beauty thief;
• relative of Baba Yaga.

Where the Smorodina River and Kalinov Bridge are mentioned, the Serpent Gorynych is always present there. AT Ancient Russia there were fairy tales and legends that the heroes took the fight with the Beast and he killed a lot of knights. They say that the square in front of the Kalinov Bridge is littered with the bones and remains of reckless daredevils and “the monster of the souls of the righteous and the unrighteous has destroyed a lot,” but there was always someone who managed to defeat the Monster and cross the border.

Kalinov bridge - legend

Kalinov bridge across the Smorodina river has rich history. Some sources say that initially there was no border of the worlds, but the living and the dead did not adhere to their territory. This led to the fact that women gave birth dead babies from dead men, and dead women took living guys to their possessions and they became half-dead. Hordes of such roamed the territory of Yav, and the earth under their feet burned with hellish fire. The world of the living gradually fell into decay, and people prayed to the great gods with a request to separate the two worlds with an insurmountable barrier for either the living or the dead.

The Supreme Gods gave the order to gather all the living on one side, and all the dead on the other. It was decided to dig a ditch between the worlds, but since a transition to world of the dead from the world of the living, a fragile footbridge was laid between the sides of the ditch. This structure was so thin that it could only support a soul, not a living body. When the construction was completed, the gods gathered all the half-dead and threw them into the ditch. They walked in a circle, and under their feet a fire was burning, soon the whole op was engulfed in flames. This is how the fiery river, or the Smorodina River, appeared.

Kalinov bridge - rite

Kalinov bridge will become part of the mythology of the Slavs over time. So, on the way of the funeral procession, a small puddle was artificially created, and over it an imitation of a bridge was built from chips. This masonry symbolized the same Kalinov bridge among the Slavs, which is the last frontier of life. They believed that if the deceased was carried over the symbolic bridge in other world, then it will be much easier for his soul to go through purgatory and get to the Gods.

Fairy tale Fight on the Kalinov Bridge

In a certain kingdom, in a certain state, there lived a king and a queen. The queen had a beloved girlfriend - the priest's daughter, the queen had a beloved maid - Chernavushka. How soon, how long, was born to each son, well done. At the queen - Ivan Tsarevich, at Popovna - Ivan Popovich, at Chernavka - Vanyushka - peasant son. The children began to grow by leaps and bounds. They grew up to be mighty heroes.

Once they were returning from hunting, the queen ran out of the burner, bursting into tears:

My dear sons, our terrible enemies attacked, fierce snakes, they are coming at us across the Smorodina River, across the clean Kalinov Bridge. They took all the people around as prisoners, destroyed the land, burned it with fire.

Do not cry, mother, we will not let the snake across the Kalinov bridge.

In a word-deed, gathered - let's go.

They come to the Smorodina River, they see - everything around is burned by fire, the whole Russian land is watered with blood. Near the Kalinov Bridge there is a hut on chicken legs.

Well, brothers, - says Ivan Tsarevich, - here we live and guard, do not let enemies cross the Kalinov bridge. In turn, keep the guard.

On the first night, Ivan Tsarevich began to guard. He put on golden armor, took a sword, and went on patrol. Waiting - waiting - quietly on the Smorodina River. Ivan Tsarevich lay down under a willow bush, and fell into a heroic sleep. And Vanyushka can’t sleep in the hut, he can’t lie down. Vanyushka got up, took an iron club, went out to the Smorodina River and saw that Ivan Tsarevich was sleeping and snoring under a bush.

Suddenly, the waters in the river became agitated, the eagles shouted on the oaks: Miracle Yudo, a six-headed snake, leaves. How he blew in all directions - for three miles he burned everything with fire! His horse stepped on the Kalinov bridge. Vanyushka jumped up here, brandished an iron club - he demolished three heads, swung it again - knocked down three more. He put his head under the bridge, pushed his body into the river. Went to the hut and went to bed.

In the morning light, Ivan Tsarevich returned from patrol. His brothers ask:

And what, prince, how was the night?

Quiet, brothers, not even a fly flew past me. Vanyushka is sitting, keeping quiet.

The next night Ivan Popovich went on patrol. Waiting - waiting - quietly on the Smorodina River. Ivan Popovich lay down under the willow bush and fell into a heroic sleep. In the middle of the night, Vanyushka took an iron club and went to the Smorodina River. And at the Kalinov Bridge, under a bush, Ivan Popovich sleeps and snores, like a forest rustles.

Suddenly, the waters in the river were agitated, the eagles shouted on the oaks: Miracle-Yudo, the nine-headed snake, leaves. Under him the horse stumbled, the raven on his shoulder started up, the dog bristled behind him. The nine-headed serpent became angry:

What are you, dog meat, stumbling about, you, crow's feather, trembling, you, dog hair, bristling? There is no enemy in the whole world for me!

In a certain kingdom, in a certain state, there lived a king and a queen. The queen had a beloved girlfriend - the priest's daughter, the queen had a beloved maid - Chernavushka. How soon, how long, was born to each son, well done. The queen has Ivan Tsarevich, Popovna has Ivan Popovich, Chernavka has Vanyushka, a peasant son. The children began to grow by leaps and bounds. They grew up to be mighty heroes.

Once they were returning from hunting, the queen ran out of the burner, bursting into tears:

My dear sons, our terrible enemies attacked, fierce snakes, they are coming at us across the Smorodina River, across the clean Kalinov Bridge. They took all the people around as prisoners, destroyed the land, burned it with fire.

Do not cry, mother, we will not let the snake across the Kalinov bridge.

In a word-deed, gathered - let's go.

They come to the Smorodina River, they see - everything around is burned by fire, the whole Russian land is watered with blood. Near the Kalinov Bridge there is a hut on chicken legs.

Well, brothers, - says Ivan Tsarevich, - here we live and guard, do not let enemies cross the Kalinov bridge. In turn, keep the guard.

On the first night, Ivan Tsarevich began to guard. He put on golden armor, took a sword, and went on patrol. Waiting - waiting - quietly on the Smorodina River.

Vanyushka got up, took an iron club, went out to the Smorodina River and saw that Ivan Tsarevich was sleeping and snoring under a bush.

Suddenly, the waters in the river became agitated, the eagles shouted on the oaks: Miracle Yudo, a six-headed snake, leaves. How he blew in all directions - for three miles he burned everything with fire! His horse stepped on the Kalinov bridge. Vanyushka jumped up here, brandished an iron club - he demolished three heads, swung it again - knocked down three more. He put his head under the bridge, pushed his body into the river. Went to the hut and went to bed.

In the morning light, Ivan Tsarevich returned from patrol. His brothers ask:

And what, prince, how was the night?

Quiet, brothers, not even a fly flew past me. Vanyushka is sitting, keeping quiet.

The next night Ivan Popovich went on patrol. Waiting - waiting - quietly on the Smorodina River. Ivan Popovich lay down under the willow bush and fell into a heroic sleep. In the middle of the night, Vanyushka took an iron club and went to the Smorodina River. And at the Kalinov Bridge, under a bush, Ivan Popovich sleeps and snores, like a forest rustles.

Suddenly, the waters in the river were agitated, the eagles shouted on the oaks: Miracle-Yudo, the nine-headed snake, leaves. Under him the horse stumbled, the raven on his shoulder started up, the dog bristled behind him. The nine-headed serpent became angry:

What are you, dog meat, stumbling about, you, crow's feather, trembling, you, dog hair, bristling? There is no enemy in the whole world for me!

The raven answers him from the right shoulder:

There is an opponent in the world for you - a Russian hero, Ivan - a peasant son.

Ivan - a peasant son was not born, and if he was born, then he did not fit into the war, I will put him in the palm of my hand, I will slap the other, it will only become wet.

Vanyushka got angry:

Do not boast, enemy force! Without catching a clear falcon, it’s too early to pluck feathers without fighting with good fellow, too early to show off.

Here they converged, hit - only the earth groaned all around. Miracle Yudo - Ivan's nine-headed snake drove into the ground ankle-deep. Vanyushka got excited, dispersed, swung his club - three heads of a snake, like heads of cabbage, he demolished.

Stop, Ivan - a peasant son, give me, Miracle Yudo, rest!

What a rest for you, enemy force! You have nine heads - I have one!

Ivanushka swung - he demolished three more heads, and Chudo-Yudo hit Ivan - he drove him knee-deep into the ground. Here Vanyushka contrived, grabbed a handful of earth and threw the Serpent in the eyes.

While the Serpent was rubbing his eyes, clearing his eyebrows, Ivan, the peasant son, knocked off his last three heads. He put his head under the bridge, threw his body into the water.

In the morning light, Ivan Popovich returned from patrol, his brothers ask:

And what, popovich, how was the night?

Quiet, brothers, only a mosquito squeaked above the ear.

Then Vanyushka led them to the Kalinov bridge, showed them snake heads.

Oh, you sleepy sleepyheads, do you really have to fight? You should lie on the stove at home!

On the third night, Vanyushka is going on patrol. He puts on cowhide boots, puts on hemp mittens, and punishes his older brothers:

Dear brothers, I'm going to a terrible battle, lie down - sleep, listen to my cry.

Here stands Vanyushka at the Kalinov Bridge, behind him is the Russian land. The time passed past midnight, the waters of the river were agitated, the eagles screamed on the oaks. The Serpent Gorynych leaves, the Twelve-Headed Miracle Yudo. Each head sings with its own tune, flames burst from the nostrils, smoke pours from the mouth. The horse under him has twelve wings. The horse has iron wool, a fiery tail and mane.

The Serpent drove onto the Kalinov bridge. Then the horse stumbled under him, the raven started up, the dog bristled behind him. Miracle Yudo of a horse with a whip on the hips, a crow on the feathers, a dog on the ears.

What are you, dog meat, stumbling about, you, crow's feather, trembling, you, dog hair, bristling? Ali do you think Ivan is a peasant's son here? Yes, if he was born, and even fit for the war, I'll just blow - the ashes will remain from him!

Vanyushka got angry here, jumped out:

Not having fought with a good fellow, early, Miracle Yudo, you brag!

Vanyushka swung, knocked three heads of the Serpent, and the Serpent drove him into the ground up to the ankle, grabbed his three heads, struck at them with a fiery finger - all the heads grew, as if they had not fallen for a century. He breathed fire on Russia - for three miles he set fire to everything around. Vanyushka sees - it’s bad business, grabbed a pebble, threw it into the hut - give a sign to the brothers. All the windows flew out, the shutters flew into chips - the brothers are sleeping, they do not hear.

Vanyushka gathered his strength, swung his club - knocked down six heads of the Serpent. The serpent struck with a fiery finger - the heads grew rooted, as if they had not fallen for a century, and Vanyushka himself drove knee-deep into the ground. He breathed fire - he burned the Russian land for six miles.

Vanyusha took off his forged belt, threw it into the hut - give a sign to the brothers. The boarded roof parted, the oak steps rolled up - the brothers are sleeping, snoring, like the forest is noisy.

Vanyushka gathered his last strength, swung his club, knocked down nine heads of the Snake. All the damp earth trembled, the water shook, eagles fell from oaks. The serpent Gorynych grabbed his heads, struck a fiery finger - the heads were rooted, as if they had not fallen for a century, and Vanyushka himself drove waist-deep into the ground. He breathed fire - he burned the Russian land for twelve miles.

Vanyushka took off his hemp mitten, threw it into the hut - to give a sign to the brothers. The hut rolled over the log. The brothers woke up and jumped out. They see: the Smorodina River reared up, blood runs from the Kalinov Bridge, a groan stands on Russian soil, a raven croaks on a foreign land. The brothers rushed to help Vanyushka. Went here heroic battle. Miracle Yudo burns with fire, smokes smoke. Ivan Tsarevich beats with a sword, Ivan Popovich stabs with a spear. The earth groans, the water boils, the raven croaks, the dog howls.

Vanyushka contrived and cut off the Snake's fiery finger. Then the brothers began to beat and beat, cut off all twelve heads of the Serpent, threw the torso into the water.

Defended the Kalinov bridge.

In a certain kingdom, in a certain state, there lived a king and a queen. The queen had a beloved girlfriend - the priest's daughter, the queen had a beloved maid - Chernavushka.

The artistic world of the fairy tale "Fight on the Kalinov Bridge"

U rock is held when students already have initial information about the poetics of folklore and, in particular, fairy tales, when the children have already read the fairy tale. Each student should have a piece of paper with a circle drawn on it, the same circle is drawn on the board. In addition, a separate group of fifth graders prepared drawings that we will attach on the board during the analysis of the tale.

Groups of artists, linguists, and theorists were formed from the students of the class.

I. Communication of the topic and purpose of the lesson

Today we will explore the artistic world of the folk tale "Fight on the Kalinov Bridge". Our main task is to see how the laws of the genre operate in this fairy tale. Let's start by recalling what we know about the folklore tale.

II. Repetition

1. Write on the board a diagram of the possible construction of any fairy tale ( beginning-exposition-outset-climax-denouement-post-position-outcome).

2. Say what a folk tale is.

(A fairy tale is an entertaining oral story about an incredible, but cautionary tale. This is an epic genre that has specific features. In it, as in other folklore works, the folk ideal was reflected.)

3. We have already spoken about the word ideal more than once. Let's remember what it means.

(Example, something to strive for.)

4. A linguistic group works in our lesson, which wrote out the meanings of some words from the explanatory dictionary. During the lesson, the guys will give their explanation. Now they will tell us what is the meaning of the word ideal.

(Ideal - the highest goal, a perfect example, the embodiment of any virtues.)

5. A.S. Pushkin said about fairy tales: “What gold, what charm these fairy tales are!” He probably had in mind their artistic perfection. We can say that they sound poetic, artistic word. What is a poetic word?

(It affects the senses and imagination first.)

6. We will talk about the artistic world of a fairy tale. What art world And what does this concept include?

(The art world is a world fictional by the writer. In this case, it is a world fictional by the people. Includes artistic time, space, characters, etc.)

III. Defining tasks for students

Guys, each of you has leaflets with a circle drawn on them. Now we will fill them in, and theorists will do it on the board. (Theorists briefly write down on the board the basic laws of constructing a fairy tale, which we will name in the process of work. Everyone else not only draws a diagram, but also independently writes down on the same piece of paper the main character traits of the hero and anti-hero.)

IV. Related work

1. We said that the artistic world of any work includes an artistic space. Let's start with him. One of the features fairy tale- duality. Prove it.

(The action begins where the hero lives, and then he is transferred to another world - the world of the anti-hero. So, we can say that there is a world of a hero and a world of an anti-hero.)

2. What separates these two worlds in the fairy tale "Fight on the Kalinov Bridge"? Where do the main events take place?

(On the border - Kalinov bridge.)

(Children mark on the diagrams: the hero's world, a strange world, draw a line between them and make an appropriate inscription.)

3. What is the name of such an artistic technique in building the artistic space of a fairy tale?

(“The antithesis in the construction of artistic space,” write the theorists.)

4. What can you say about the construction of a system of characters in a fairy tale?

(The antithesis is used. There is always a main character, the action unfolds around him. The main character is or younger brother, or stupid, or poor. Here is a peasant's son.)

(Theorists continue to write: and in the system of characters. Main character- poor man.)

5. Let's look at the scheme for constructing a fairy tale on the board. Is she correct? Give an explanation.

(The plot in any fairy tale develops sequentially, that is, events develop in a chain, as if following the hero. No violation of the sequence is allowed.)

(Theorists write: the plot of a fairy tale develops sequentially.)

6. What is the exposition of the tale? Retell briefly.

7. What other law begins to operate at the beginning of the tale?

(The law of trinity - write down theorists.)

8. What should we note in the diagram where the hero's “own” world is depicted?

(Ivan Tsarevich, Ivan Popovich, Ivan is a peasant son.)

9. Find a quote that indicates the plot of the main conflict of the tale.

(“My dear sons…”)

10. So what does it take for a hero to leave his world?

(An event, a trouble - we denote it in the diagram with a cross. The reason is here: the news of the snakes that attacked Russia.)

11. Looking ahead, let's say what the characters saw on the border - Kalinov Bridge.

(The earth is burned, there are many human bones, the earth is saturated with Russian blood.)

12. So, the hero leaves his world, having a specific goal. What is she? Read.

(“Do not cry, mother, we will defend the Smorodina River, we will not let the snake across the Kalinov Bridge” - that is, the defense of the Motherland from enemies. A noble, patriotic task.)

13. Question to the linguistic group: who is a patriot?

(A patriot is a person who loves his fatherland, devoted to his people.)

14. Is it only Ivan, the peasant son, who has set himself the goal of defending his homeland?

(Everyone promises to defend the state, not to let the enemy cross the Kalinov bridge.)

15. Who, as a rule, is a border guard on the border of two worlds? Is he in this story?

(The hut on chicken legs is only mentioned. We draw it in the diagram, and attach the drawing on the board.)

16. How does the law of trinity continue to operate?

(The hero has to endure three battles.)

17. Tell about the first battle and draw a conclusion.

(The battle is difficult, but Ivan won.)

18. Let's designate it with a small cross in the diagram and make an appropriate inscription.

19. Reread the description of the second battle in faces. Let's think about what quality of character helped the hero win this time.

(The dragon is more terrible, strong, boastful, and Ivan showed not only strength, but also cunning.)

20. What is the climax moment?

(Fight with the twelve-headed serpent.)

21. Why did Ivan tell Ivan Popovich and Ivan Tsarevich about his victories only before the third battle? What character trait does he have?

(Firstly, he did not want to brag, and secondly, he understands that the decisive moment has come when help is needed.)

22. What poetic devices write down the theorists?

(Repetition of situations. Reception of gradation in the image of events.)

23. Let's read how the third opponent of Ivan is depicted. Why is he so scary?

(To prove, firstly, that Ivan needs help; secondly, the stronger, more dangerous, more terrible the enemy, the more honorable the feat of the winner, that is, the value of the next victory, test increases.)

24. Let's re-read the episode where the brothers act together, and think about how the tension of the situation is conveyed, the speed of action.

(Short, non-common sentences. Permutation of words is allowed - inversion.)

25. Prove that in this fairy tale, as in others, there is no boundary between the world of nature and the world of people.

(Ivan - the peasant son turns into a fly and flies to the snake kingdom to find out if there are any other enemies.)

26. Do not forget to write down what trait of Ivan's character is shown here. If you forgot what it is called, look at the board where our lexicologists wrote down the words.

(Foresight is the ability to foresee possible events in the future.)

27. How many trials are Ivanov still waiting for? Why did the heroes go through them too?

(We pin the drawings to the board, the students make an entry in the diagram. The heroes must return to their world changed, gained experience, overcome temptations.)

28. Prove with the text that Ivan Tsarevich and Ivan Popovich learned something at this time.

(“The brothers gasped…” When there were two temptations, they got angry, angry. They understood the danger only when Ivan destroyed the apple tree and the well. Now they also act.)

29. Enemies are defeated, killed, their assistants too. Why doesn't the story end there? What else should the heroes do?

(Evil must be destroyed to the ground. Therefore, they burn the palace of serpents, and then return to their world. Everyone makes designations in the scheme, theorists write that in fairy tales, good conquers evil.)

V. Summing up

1. What is main topic fairy tales?

2. What is its main idea?

(A person must love and protect his homeland.)
