Abstract. We construct different integrable generalizations of the massive Thirring equations corresponding loop algebras g σ in different gradings and associated "triangular" Roperators. We consider the most interesting cases connected with the Coxeter automorphisms, second order automorphisms and with "Kostant-Adler-Symes" R-operators. We recover a known matrix generalization of the complex Thirring equations as a partial case of our construction.
