The article begins with a criminal case – the killing of a bear in the marketplace of Beloozero (1635-36). The plaintiff, Timofej Okladnicyn, accused the peasant Fedor Antip'ev of this aggressive act. Was Okladnicyn a simple seller of animals, a professional trainer or a bearleader? Was this aggressive act a case of sinless hooliganism, or was it Antip'ev's intention to stress the illegal character of Okladnicyn's job? The document gives no definitive answer to these questions. For this article, the author has collected from trials all petitions (čelobitnye) and testimonies of Muscovite minstrels (skomoroxi). The purpose is to compare the discourse of the real makers of folklore with the texts of folkloric tradition that were traditionally ascribed to skomoroxi. The most important piece is the non-published petition of bearleader Grigorij Eftifeev, which proves the historicity of exile of skomoroxi in the reign of tsar Aleksej Mixajlovič. The testimony of Grigorij Eftifeev, who was exiled not to Siberia, but to the steppe frontier of Muscovy, can shed some light on the disappearing of the skomoroxi in legal documents after 1648 – the makers of folklore got new social identities.
