Fairytales of the Peoples of Russia. Volume 1

Fairytales of the Peoples of Russia — a vast cultural layer in the authentic classical heritage of our country. In symbolic, figurative form, they provide keys to the life challenges each person must solve, introduce historical events, myths, rituals, the... way of life, and cultural
features of the ethnic groups living in Russia. Fairytales contribute to the development of aesthetic feelings, without which the nobility of the soul, heartfelt sensitivity to human misfortune, grief, and suffering is unthinkable. From an artistic point of view, they represent true works of art, which A. S. Pushkin perfectly felt and understood. «What a delight these fairytales are! — he wrote. — Each is a poem».
Fairytales of the Peoples of Russia, with their unexpected fantastic plots and inseparable connection to real life, allow both adults and children to connect with the nation's spiritual and moral traditions while deriving pleasure from them.
