Ivan-Tsarevich and Vasilisa the Beautiful, Baba Yaga and Kashchey the Immortal, swan geese, milk apples and the mysterious number "three" - all these are the heroes and symbols of magical fairy tales familiar to us since childhood. The history of folklore texts goes back to ancient times, and their meanings today seem absolutely obvious to us. And it would seem that there are not and cannot be any subtexts. But is it so? Ulyana Nizhinskaya - philologist, folklore researcher, blogger and host of the program "Iznanka Tales" on the radio "Silver Rain" in the book "Unchildish fairy tales..." will tell:

- What the dead tsarevna and the seven bogatyrs are silent about;

- where the swan-goose flies to;

- why Yaga put children on a shovel and who Kashchey the Immortal is;

- how an ancient fairy tale reflected the relationship between a man and a woman;

- ... ...and many other things that were not told to us in our folklore in childhood.
