Abstract

The article considers a folk tale as a means of preserving national identity, expressed in the
national code – a peculiar system of signs that expresses the specifics of the national culture of a certain
ethnic group. Analyzing Romanian (Moldavian), Russian, Bulgarian and Ukrainian fairy tales
preserved in Bessarabia, the author comes to the conclusion that there is a regional code that preserves
the common features of national communities living in this territory.
