Russian Fairy Tales

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] 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.

gollark: Repeatedly, I mean.
gollark: Maybe the many processes mmaping at once is causing something something lock contention?
gollark: Loading models onto my server's GPU is initially ridiculously slow, but if I load something then unload it and load something else it's fine.
