TALES OF HISTORICAL PERSONALITIES RECORDED IN FINLAND

Summary/Abstract: In the first quarter of the XX century, both in Soviet Karelia and on the territory of Finland in the villages of the Ladoga area folklore materials were being actively collected. Fairy tales recorded by Marta Pelkonen in the Salmi community were published by the Literary Society of Finland in 1976 as the collection entitled Satuja ja legendoja. Martta Pelkosen salmilaismuistiinpanoja (Tales and Legends. Salmi Writings of Martta Pelkonen). This collection also contains legends about real historical figures – Tsar Peter the Great and Countess Anna Orlova-Chesmenskaya, particularly about her participation in the construction of the Church of St. Nicholas in Salmi. Both texts have not been previously translated into Russian.
