Folklore of Russia
Russian folklore
takes its roots in the
pagan
beliefs of ancient
Slavs
and now is represented in the
Russian fairy tales
. Epic Russian
bylinas
are also an important part of
Slavic mythology
. The oldest bylinas of
Kievan
cycle were actually recorded mostly in the
Russian North
, especially in
Karelia
, where most of the
Finnish
national epic
Kalevala
was recorded as well.
