Adult fairy tales. Hidden meanings of folk texts

Ivan Tsarevich and Vasilisa the Beautiful, Baba Yaga and Koschei the Deathless, geese-swans, rejuvenating apples, and the mysterious number 'three' - all these are heroes and symbols of fairy tales familiar to us from childhood. The history of folklore texts dates back to ancient times, and their meanings today seem absolutely obvious to us. And it seems like there are no hidden meanings. But is that really the case? Ulyana Nizhinskaya, a philologist, folklore researcher, blogger, and host of the program 'The Inside of Fairy Tales' on the radio station 'Silver Rain,' in the book 'Non-Childish Tales...' will tell us about: - what the dead princess and the seven bogatyrs are silent about, - where the geese-swans fly, - why Baba Yaga put children on a shovel and who Koschei the Deathless is, - how an ancient tale reflected the relationship between a man and a woman, - where the maidens-warriors in our folklore came from, so similar to the Greek Amazons... ...and much more that we were not told in childhood.
