The article analyses the image of Borovik the Sorcerer (Боровик) in the short story Русалка (Water Nymph, 1829) by O. Somov from the perspective of the demonological discourse construed as the use of language, the means to communicate ideas and the interaction of individuals in the society in the Russian literature of the Romanticism in the context of Slavic national demonology. The author shows that the image of Somov’s sorcerer was constructed according to the criteria of the unique socio-cultural phenomenon – Russian sorcery (русскоe колдовствo). Particular attention was paid to Borovik’s external appearance, his behaviour towards, and interactions with other characters (Gorpinka the water nymph and her mother), his ways of building authority and the relationship of power that existed between him and the local community. In the overall context of Slavic folklore the author analyses also functions of animals that play the role of the sorcerer’s minions. In the final section the article points out the link of the analysed image with the Romantic preoccupation with the common people, as well as literary freneticism.

The article discusses the topic of truth and lie in the narration of, and the world depicted in Antony Pogorelsky’s (a penname of Alexey Alexeyevich Perovsky) set of short stories entitled The Double, or My Evenings in Little Russia, and in particular in the set’s framework structure. The author analyses the interac-tion between two protagonists and discourse participants: Antony, an alter ego of the real writer, and The Double, an alter ego of the fictitious writer. The phenome-non of the double, that fascinated the romanticists, together with its symbolism and attributes (mirror, twins, two, split personality) is the author’s starting point for literary consideration of the issue of fiction and literary mystification. The au-thor also uses the perspective of the demonological discourse to study the bounda-ry between the real and the fantastic, reason and fantasy, awareness and supersti-tion, hard facts and intuition.
