Abstract
Vasily Manchary was a Sakha legendary figure, who fought against the local rich and was known as a “noble robber”, narrator, and a performer of folk songs. The article deals with the study of his influence upon the personality of Nikita Leglyarin, the main character in the novel “Springtime” (“Vesennyaya Pora”) by Nikolai Mordinov. The image of Vasily Manchary, considered by people as their hero, becomes the ideal for Nikita Leglyarin after the folk legend. Thanks to the author’s mastery, the whole unity of the materials from fiction and reality has been reached and revealed. The motifs of the main character’s actions are convincingly shown in combination with the Manchary’s image.
