The article recreates the history of the collections, writings and publications of Abaza fairy tales from 1929 to the present time. In this regard, the activities of A.N. Genko, T.Z. Tabulov, K.V. Lomtatidze, V.B. Tugov, V.N. Meremkulov and others are highlighted. The question is raised con-sidering the need to bring together the entire existing body of folklore material, systematize it and reissue it in a separate series in several volumes, broken down by genre. The article also traces the study of Abaza fairy tale prose in the works of V.B. Tugov, V.N. Meremkulov, P.K.
