This book is a guide into the world of legends and tales of the Suzdal Opolye. For the first time, it reveals Suzdal and its surroundings from an unusual perspective: through an exploration of the mythological beliefs of local residents—from the ancient Slavs and Meryans to 21st-century townspeople.

You'll learn why Suzdal residents baked "larks" and "doves" in the spring, what the Suzdal churches and bells "talk" about, and what happens to those who try to find cursed treasures.

Here, wood goblins, house spirits, and sorcerers peacefully coexist with Christian saints, and miracles are intertwined with real events. "Myths of Suzdal" is an opportunity to hear the voice of the place and see a hidden, yet still vibrant, mythological reality behind familiar landscapes.
