Kizhi		 Summary: The paper examines the reports of Neonila Artemovna Krinichnaya at the Ryabinin Readings conference from 1991 to 2011. I describe the main scientific interests of the researcher and present her methodology. Aside from traditional problems of mythology, structure and history of genres, the attention of N. A. Krinichnaya was also attracted by the problem of individuality of the bearer of folklore tradition. I present and analyze the main points from the articles prepared and published by the researcher. The issues studied by N. A. Krinichnaya are presented in dynamics: I demonstrate the path from the simple characteristics of the epic singer T. G. Ryabinin through identifying the sources of his skill to general conclusions about the factors that shape the figure of the storyteller as such. The researcher paid significant attention to the influence of a storyteller’s personality on folklore text. This process is bidirectional: on the one hand, the circumstances of the performer’s life affect the choice and interpretation of traditional images and plots; on the other hand, the personality of the singer, his personal creative intentions are limited by the framework of stereotypes and formulas of folk culture.
