NATIONAL-ETHNIC WORLD VIEW IN THE CRIMEAN TATARS CHILDLORE

Abstract

Сhildlore of the Crimean Tatars is a movable improvisational kind of folk art. Ethnographic details and rituals associated with animistic representations, an original construction of images and description of events, astral mythology, and, finally, an archaic vocabulary of songs-appeals, refrains give grounds to suggest that the Crimean Tatar childlore takes its roots from the ancient times.
