The fairy tale wealth of Russia is no less rich than Greek mythology or the traditions of Europe.
The new collection of fairy tales and legends of the peoples of Russia, compiled and processed by writer and historian Evgeny Lukin, will open to us the world of legends and traditions of the Karelians, Nenets, Chukchi, Eskimos, Yakuts, Buryats, Tatars, Bashkirs, Chuvashes, Chechens, Adyghe, and many other nations of our multinational country.
A treasure trove of wisdom, fantasy, and humor, gathered by dozens of talented peoples — so different, yet equally important for the culture of a vast and diverse country, from the ancient Urals and Altai to Karelia, Chechnya, and Tatarstan…
This beautifully designed gift edition, supplemented with information about each nation — their native land, history, faith, and peculiar aspects of everyday life — will be useful for both children and adults as a magical literary journey throughout all corners of great Russia and as an invaluable lesson in understanding various cultures and traditions.
The book serves the idea of tolerant communication, representing Russia as a united, diverse country where dozens of talented peoples and ethnicities live.
