Afanasyeva is less known today than his collection of fairy tales or the study of Slavic mythology. But they represent a certain milestone in the development of Russian ethnography, not to mention the value of the material itself, and the modern reader will probably find in these stories not only the echoes of gray -haired antiquity, but also the forerunner of modern urban folklore, the basics of popular fairy tales and much more.
