Russian folklore is rich with stories of ancient gods, heroes, and magical creatures, reflecting the country's deep connection to its Slavic roots. One of the most famous figures in Russian mythology is "Baba Yaga," a witch who lives in a hut on chicken legs and is both feared and revered for her magical powers. Another central figure is "Koschei the Deathless," an evil sorcerer who can only be killed if his soul, hidden in a needle inside an egg, is destroyed. Russian folklore also features the "Firebird," a magical bird whose feathers glow with a bright light and is often sought after by heroes on dangerous quests. Russian literature is also marked by the works of Alexander Pushkin, whose fairy tales like "The Tale of Tsar Saltan" and "The Tale of the Golden Cockerel" continue to be beloved classics. These stories, with their rich symbolism and deep moral lessons, continue to be a vital part of Russian culture and identity.
