Visitors to the RUSSIA EXPO immersed themselves in the world of Arkhangelsk bylinas and fairy tales

---

The delegation of the Primorsky district of the Arkhangelsk region presented a rich literary program at VDNH in Moscow.

The Pomor talk resounded at the regional stand and the heroes of Arkhangelsk fairy tales became real. The guests were introduced to famous writers, whose life and work were connected with the history of Primorye: poet and collector of folklore Mikhail Sukhanov, storyteller Marfa Kryukova and, of course, storyteller Stepan Pisakhov.

The amazing world of Arkhangelsk bylinas and fairy tales left no one indifferent. Visitors not only listened, but also took an active part in the program: they tested their talent for writing and fishing skills, competed in raking raspberries.

A separate staged lecture was devoted to the works of Stepan Pisakhov. This year the Arkhangelsk region celebrates the 145th anniversary of the writer's birth. His fairy tales, imbued with the spirit and color of a Pomor village, allow you to travel through its streets and get acquainted with its inhabitants. This was told to the visitors of the exposition by Oleg Gorshkov, Deputy Director of the Museum of Primorye Folk Arts and Crafts, in a playful way.

"The artistic genius of Stepan Pisakhov is that he placed his fantastic stories in the real space of the village of Uemsky, - Oleg Gorshkov shared. - The author uses the Uemsky talk, Uemsky personality types. Even the Uemsky architecture and the Northern Dvina are true in the tales. The real collides here with the unreal, and we get an incredible effect of a fairytale North Russian village".

The most creative guests of the exposition made a souvenir based on Pomor fairy tales. They were offered to make a raspberry brooch from polymer clay, which is invariably associated with Senya Raspberry - the main character of Pisakhov's works and one of the key cultural brands of the Primorsky district.

The International RUSSIA EXPO unites the main achievements of the state. The expositions of 89 subjects of the country, including the Arkhangelsk region, are offered to the attention of visitors.
