Alexander Nikolaevich Afanasyev's name stands among the names of outstanding Russian scholars of the 19th century. His fruitful activity was characterized by remarkable versatility. He showed himself as a thoughtful cultural historian and researcher of Russian literature, jurist, ethnographer, folklorist and journalist.
A special merit belongs to Afanasyev as the compiler of a collection of Russian folk tales. Afanasyev's collection (8 issues, 1855-1863) is an outstanding publication not only in Russia but also in the world folklore studies. Being the first and so far the only collection of Russian fairy tales, in which they are presented along with Ukrainian and Belarusian, the collection laid the foundation for the scientific collection and study of East Slavic fairy tales and became a truly folk book, which played an exceptional role in the education of more than one generation of readers. Tales from this collection have been translated into many languages and are world-famous. This collection is most often called "Afanasyev's Collection of Fairy Tales". For philologists, folklorists, culturologists and all those interested in the fate of the Russian word.
