"Tales of Russian foreigners" - under such a pretty exotic for the modern reader heading in 1890 a collection of unique fairy tales of the multinational Russian Empire was published.
The edition that has become the result of a long academic expedition to Siberia and the Volga region, Baltic States and Finland, the Caucasus and Transcaucasia, carefully prepared by the first woman - Professor-ethnographer faith Harusina, turned out to be unusually bright and original.
Fantastic legends about the origin of the tribes and their resettlement, bizarre plots, drawing those equally reliable painting of dwellings and clothing, nutrition and family mistake, primitive beliefs and rites to this day are imaginable. The usual sorcerers and witches appear here in the images of insidious Abaga and Devov, wizards - in the images of the great shamans, and the glorious hedgehogs of Ai-Moko and Amiran are superior to the force of the Atlanta themselves. Fabulous, semi-epic, all these characters are eloquently indicate how nicely, the culture of mankind is very intelligent, and at the same time
