The publication reproduces a lyrical collection with texts of traditional lyrical songs, author's and anonymous romances, created at the beginning of the 19th century. The publication is accompanied by scientific commentary of a different nature and is intended for researchers involved in national culture and the history of literature, local historians and all readers interested in introducing to the origins of the Russian poetic word and preserving cultural heritage. This is an interesting figurative illustration for fostering respect for the domestic past in the most important - the human dimension.
