Abstract
The article considers the transformation of folk stories in cycle “Moscow fairy tales” of A. Kabakov. The existential questions of human existence — life, death, love, children, relationships between the characters, are revealed with a detailed analysis of the poetics of works, analysis of the language, expressive means, metaphors, folklore motifs of fear, road, choice. Metaphors “not a polluted life”, “elusive existence”, “vanishing time” will be decisive in revealing the basic thoughts of the writer’s prose. The concept of man in the prose of the writer is defined. Man, according to Kabakov, “is not an object, but the subject of one’s destiny.” “Religion does not make a difference.”
