Russian Fairy Tales (Russian: Народные русские сказки, variously translated; English titles include also Russian Folk Tales) is a collection of nearly 600 fairy and folktales, collected and published by Alexander Afanasyev between 1855 and 1863.[1] The collection contained fairy and folk tales from Ukraine and Belarus alongside Russian stories.[2] His literary work was explicitly modeled after Grimm's Fairy Tales.
Vladimir Propp drew heavily on this collection for his analyses in his Morphology of the Folktale.
