Alexander Nikolaevich Afanasyev (1826-1871) was a Russian folklore collector, ethnographer, and literary critic. Russian Russian Cherished Tales were first published anonymously outside the Russian Empire in Geneva in 1872 under the title "Russian Folk Tales not for Print." The collected materials containing elements of folk erotic prose, according to A. N. Afanasyev, do not reflect the level of morality of the Russian people, but only point to the hidden side of life, in which comic, satire and irony play a significant role. The context shows how radical and bold A. N. Afanasyev's attempt to publish such a collection was for censorship in the second half of the 19th century. While the ethnographer considered the texts as an important layer of folk laughter culture, representatives of the church and state authorities considered them obscene and unacceptable for distribution. Selected texts are published in this edition.
