Abstract
This paper compares original texts of Russian folk tales with Slavic lower mythology characters recorded in the 19th century and their modern adaptations, published on the specialized “Gusi-lebedi” website. The research aims to find out some of the major fairy tale adaptation mistakes and to compare the traditional characteristics of the mythologeme in the Russian linguaculture and the twists of the characters in the adaptations.
Cases of conceptual substitution in which there is complete divergence between mythonym (the lexeme verbalizing the mythologeme) and mythologeme are analysed in order to reconstruct the original mythologeme.
Key words: mythonyms, folk-tales, lower mythology, archetypal mistakes
