The article describes the results of a study of the principles of rhythmic ordering of texts of Russian fairy tales. It is concluded that these texts are heteromorphic verse, which has originated after transformation of archaic syllabic meter in the forms of an accent verse. The basic structural unit of fairy tales texts is strophoid, built in compliance with the same quantitative principles, which has founded by researchers of the ancient indo-european heritages. The article argues to build a theory of diachronic variations of verse sructure of fairy tales: from a magic fairy tale with a dominant line length 8+/-1 or 9+/-1 syllables and with predominance of triplets to fairy tales about animals and household fairy tales with predominance of 6 syllables in couplets. Heteromorphness of verse is strengthen by incidental addition of paired rhyming and parallelism. Fairy tales from A.N. Afanasjev’s collection and from collections of XVI–XVIII centuries has served as a research materials.
Keyword: Russian fairy tale, verse, meter, strophoid, line.
