摘要
In contemporary Ukrainian agrarian and urban folk communities, demonological beliefs are as popular and vital as they were a century ago. In order to understand their popularity among contemporary urban Ukrainians, we must look closely at traditional agrarian folk communities and their folk beliefs. In cities, demonological prose functions as a set of beliefs and superstitions corresponding to the traditional plots and pagan beliefs of previous generations. In urban communities, traditional plots do not function within artistic communicative events as actively as they do in village communities, due to the specific nature of urban (as opposed to agrarian) folk communities.
