Mify russkogo naroda [Myths of the Russian People]

The invisible inhabitants of rivers, swamps, fields, forests, courtyards and huts - who are they? The famous folklorist and ethnographer Georgy Markovich Naumenko collected folk beliefs, tales and traditions in this book about some mythological characters - the brownie, Leshem, the mermaid, Kikimorka and others. He collected them from all over Russia - and in some parts of our homeland these beliefs are still alive.
