Richly represented in the Russian folktale tradition, the legends
are religious tales (types 750-849 in the Aame-Thompson index) in a
peasant village setting. Among the standard themes is the return of
Christ, who wanders through rural Russia with his disciples. Satan
appears here too, as do a cast of spirits and lesser devils.
Pre-Christian gods may be recognized in tales of saints Ilya and
Nikolai (Elijah and Saint Nicholas). The hapless peasant in these
tales - cheated, betrayed, impoverished, foolish, orphaned,
crippled - take the reader deep into the traditional village
culture of Russia and into the imperfect human quest for moral
choice and justice on this earth.
