The book “The World of Spirits of the Russian People” is dedicated to the spirits revered by the Russian people, which the villagers encountered in the house, in the yard, in the forest, in the fields and on the rivers. One can find many similarities between the world of spirits of the Russian and related Indo-European peoples. We see similar similarities between the worlds of spirits of peoples living on different continents.

Brownie, yard, bathhouse, goblin, water, mermaid – this is what you can say offhand. And there are little-known perfumes, such as ovinnik, shishiga, kikimora, meadow, field, and swamp. Our book not only talks about them, but also shows their manifestations depending on the seasons. The twelve spirits are each tied to their own month. Let’s say, in April a merman wakes up with the drifting ice, in May the mermaids begin their festivities, in July the goblin creates windbreaks, and behind him the field creeps into the field. In autumn, nature spirits go to sleep under the snow and ice, and house spirits begin to help people.

You will learn about all this in the book offered to your attention.
