Sergey Vasilyevich Maximov (1831-1901) was an outstanding Russian ethnographer, folklorist and writer who devoted his life to the study of the culture of the Russian people and was called by his contemporaries "the patriarch of folk studies". A keen and observant researcher of the way of life, manners, customs and beliefs of various strata of the Russian population of the 19th century, Maximov traveled extensively in various regions of the country. The result of his researches were the pioneering works "A Year in the North", "Stories from the History of the Old Believers", "In the East", "Siberia and Penal Servitude", "The Bread Kool and its Adventures", "Wandering Russia for Christ's Sake" and others. This edition combines such famous works of S. V. Maximov as "Unclean, unknown and cross power" (1903), "Winged words" (1890) and chapters from the book "Forest wilderness" (1871). They are addressed to the widest audience and familiarize readers with the traditions and beliefs of the Russian people, with its festivals and rituals, with its original living and figurative language, with its life. These are books for all times: until now they remain not only the most valuable source of ethnographic research (both in terms of material coverage and accuracy of descriptions), but also a fascinating read for all those interested in the history of Russia.
