The vast territory from the eastern slopes of the Ural Mountains to the shores of the Pacific Ocean is inhabited by peoples for whom everything is connected with these places: language, occupations, customs and culture. They have lived since ancient times — since the beginning of time, as they say in the legends. And they treat their land with unwavering respect. The peoples of Siberia have their own traditions of oral storytelling. In the past, it was believed that stories could influence the course of events. For example, during the migration of wild deer, even fairy tales were forbidden among some peoples, because magical images and heroes could frighten animals and interfere with hunting. This book invites you to travel around the world, where snow-capped mountain peaks side by side with the endless taiga, great rivers flow to the Arctic Ocean, protected swamps stretch and slender birch groves give way to vast steppes. Here, the modern is intertwined with the traditional, and the mundane with the mythical. Ancient legends about the birth of cold, underground inhabitants, Yukaghir fires and other wonders come to life in this world. Deer and bears, mammoths and even mosquitoes have magical powers here. The heart of Western Siberia is swamps, birch groves and remote urmans (dark coniferous taiga forests). The great rivers of the world flow here — the Ob, the Irtysh, the Yenisei — and different peoples live there. Among them are the Siberian Tatars, Khanty, Mansi, Selkups, Chulymians and Kets. You will learn about the Nenets and Altaians, Chukchi and Evenks, Yakuts and Tuvans, and more than thirty other peoples for whom these regions are their native home. Representatives of indigenous peoples participated in the creation of the book. Their stories are the living history of an amazing and beautiful region of our big country. Remoteness from the "mainland", permafrost, polar night, long winter, short summer, accompanied by mosquitoes and midges. It seems that only polar bears can handle such a life, but for hundreds of years a wide variety of peoples have lived here, including the Nenets, Nganasans, Ents and Dolgans.
