The article deals with folklorism of E.I. Zamyatin’s prose in 1908—1916. Proceedings for the study are the notebooks, “The Tale of Ivan’s Night and Daisy” short stories “A Foreman”, “The Logs”, stories “Uezdnoye (in the country)”, “Na kulichkah” (middle of nowhere), “Alatyr”, “A midday maiden”. The reception of the works and traditions of Russian folklore is analysed at the levels of themes, issues, ideas, plot, types of characters and style (story, “ornamentation”) as an important component of Zamyatin’s neorealism. His works are compared with tales of A.M. Remizov.

Keywords: folklorism, Zamyatin, Remizov, reception, neorealism, tale, story, short story, skaz, ornamentation.
