Apollon Apollonovich Korinfsky (1868-1937) - poet, translator, literary critic, ethnographer-essayist. "People of Russia" is a folklore-ethnographic work in which the author supplements his more than twenty years of observation of the life of the Russian peasantry with printed materials on Russian and Slavic ethnography. The book reveals the history of holidays, the bizarre interweaving of the pagan world and Christianity in Russia, the views of the Slavs on nature and the world order.
