Complex analysis of the author’s fairy tales is given, specifics, “especial artistry” of which lies in their synthetic nature; through the prism of the dialogue of the individual author’s standpoint and the traditional fairy genre-forming elements in various aspects (genre synthesis system of images, stylistic features, and the author’s viewpoint) reveals the artistic world of S. Britaev. The author’s short prose works, including a number of unpublished stories, have been introduced into scientific discourse for the first time on the basis of the archival sources.
