L. N. Vinogradova's new book on folk demonology employs a broad comparative analysis of ethnic mythological traditions. It focuses on five characters—the souls of unbaptized children, enrichment spirits, mermaids, the werewolf, and forest spirits—whose beliefs are recorded in various regions of Russia, Belarus, and Ukraine. A comparison of numerous regional versions allows us to identify both archaic and more recent elements in the conceptions of each of these demonological figures and reveal deep connections between Slavic and non-Slavic myths. For example, the werewolf reveals features of ancient Balkan beliefs about werewolves, the dead rising from the grave, and a creature devouring the moon.
