Abstract
The article is focused on werewolves, the motif of disguise-shifting in Old Russian iconography, literature and folklore. The author studies semiotic strategies that helped to depict the ghost transfiguration in various languages of the culture as well as the ways of transcoding oral or book narratives into visual imagery. The research shows that at semiotic level the strategies and modalities used for depiction of disguise-shifting in iconography, murals and miniatures unite the iconography much more with folklore than with the direct source of most of its stories - Christian literature.
