In the book, the reader will find a fascinating story about the heritage of the Russian people – a fairy tale.
.The roots of Russian folk tales are closely intertwined with pagan myths and images of the Ancient World. It would seem that their traces have long been erased by time, but the pagan gods and ideas about the harmony of the world of the ancient Rus, Indo-Aryans, and Hittites are still alive. In plots and familiar characters: Koshchei the Immortal, Ivanushka the Fool, Baba Yaga, the Tsar Maiden, the Goblin and many others – they appear on the pages of A. Belov’s book. You just need to look at them carefully.
.Fairy-tale plots and images are provided with non-trivial interpretations and detailed comments. Little-known folk tales are given in the Author’s retelling.
