"The Great Snake"〔Bazhov 1944, p. 106.〕 or "The Great Serpent" (, lit. "Of the Great Serpent") is a folk tale (the so-called ''skaz'') of the Ural region of Siberia collected and reworked by Pavel Bazhov. It was first published in the 11th issue of the ''Krasnaya Nov'' literary magazine in 1936 and later the same year as a part of the collection ''Pre-Revolutionary Folklore of the Ural Region''. It was later released as a part of the ''The Malachite Casket'' collection on 28 January 1939. In 1944 the story was translated from Russian into English by Alan Moray Williams and published by Hutchinson.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The malachite casket; tales from the Urals, (Book, 1944) )〕 In the 1950s another translation was made by Eve Manning.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Malachite casket : tales from the Urals / P. Bazhov ; (from the Russian by Eve Manning ; illustrated by O. Korovin ; designed by A. Vlasova ) )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Malachite casket; tales from the Urals.

The story of two brothers is then continued in "The Serpent's Trail", published in 1939. == Publication == This ''skaz'' was first published together with "The Mistress of the Copper Mountain" and "Beloved Name" (also known as "That Dear Name") in the 11th issue of ''Krasnaya Nov'' in 1936.
