Russian folklore is naturally intertwined with the environment, history, and politics of Russia.

Dr. Sibelan Forrester explores the main genres of folklore in Russia, the background of calendar rituals and folk beliefs, and the role of village society vis-a-vis scholars and collectors.

Learn about the persistent role of folk plots in other cultural forms - elite literature, visual arts, dance and music - and the impact of folklore today.

This lecture covers a broad array of topics relating to Russian folklore, including folk tales and Russian fairy tales, legends, folk traditions, charms omens and curses, folk characters such as Baba Yaga, proverbs, folk songs, and "jokelore."
