Russian Fairy Tales, Poetic Views of the Slavs on Nature
Alexander Nikolayevich Afanasyev[a] (Russian: Александр Николаевич Афанасьев; 23 July [O.S. 11 July] 1826 – 5 October [O.S. 23 September] 1871) was a Russian Slavist and ethnographer who published nearly 600 Russian fairy and folk tales, one of the largest collections of folklore in the world.[2] This collection was not strictly Russian, but included folk tales from Ukraine and Belarus alongside Russian folk tales.[3] The first edition of his collection was published in eight volumes from 1855 to 1867, earning him the reputation of being the Russian counterpart to the Brothers Grimm.[4]
