The fairy tale richness of Russia is no less than that of Greek mythology or the legends 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 peoples of our multinational country.
A treasure trove of wisdom, fantasy, and humor, gathered by dozens of talented nations – 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 crafted gift edition, supplemented with information about each people – their native land, history, faith, and aspects of everyday life – will be useful for both children and adults as a magical literary journey through all corners of great Russia and an invaluable lesson in understanding various cultures and traditions.
The book promotes the idea of tolerant communication, presenting Russia as a united, diverse country where dozens of talented peoples and nationalities live.
