The collection "Russian Folk Tales and Superstitious Stories about Evil Spirits" presents materials that reveal the Russian people's views on the mysteries of their professed "black magic." The tales and legends collected by Alexander Evgenievich Burtsev are important primarily because they allow us to glimpse the everyday life of the people, replete with the mysterious and mystical: much of what people believed was part of their everyday life, as it had not been explained by science at the time.

On the pages of the book, we encounter well-known characters from Russian myths, such as the wood goblin, the sorcerer, the brownie, the devil, the water spirit, and even Baba Yaga. All of them are the cause of disasters or joys, sudden wealth or fairytale love. Thus, this publication allows us to learn more about the lives of Russian peasants in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and better understand their culture.
