Abstract

The history of the origin of the character "Albasty" and the reasons for the change which is mentioned in fairy tales and mythical legends of many nation would be discussed in this article. The peculiarities of speaking in the fairy tales of many peoples are emphasized and Albasty, who was born as a holy spirit, who protects a woman giving birth and young children and on the basis of later religious beliefs, deprived of holiness, turning into negative characters in the mythical concept. Among Kazakhs, “albasties” are similar to a dog or a fox, which stealthily steal the lungs of a woman in labor, but according to the ancient mythical ideas of the Karachais and Balkars living in the Caucasus, the albastas descended from the marriage of Narts and Emegens and grew up in a pack of wolves. They, like a holy spirit, protect women in labor and young children from the devil. In general, Albasties are a common character in the Caucasus, the Volga region, Central and Central Asia, the Middle East, etc. In the folklore of these peoples, "albasties" are considered the lord of evil, spreading disease and doing evil, and he acquired his negative features in later religious beliefs, becoming a negative character found in the genre of fairy tales and legends.
