Masterpieces of Russian folklore in a GIFT PERFORMANCE

According to Alexander Afanasiev (1826-1871), oral folk art reminds us of those distant times when "myth and poetry were one and the same" and the interest of infant peoples was completely focused on mother nature. It was an amazing time when our ancestors not only thought in metaphors, but their very life was for them a real fairy tale, an epic, a fable.
Those days are long gone, but fortunately, the bins of Russian folk art are large and vast, thanks to the works of outstanding and little-known collectors. Here is a significant collection of Russian folklore - from fairy tales to Proverbs, prepared on the basis of widely known and rare, but unfairly forgotten collections of the XIX century.
