Those Russians may be bad at a lot of things, but they have had the best composers since that second half of the 1800s. And the literature.

The modern stories we tell children are very different from the originals. Its quite likely that none of the fairy tales you know are in their original form. Some were so deranged that there was no way to update them and were tossed down the memory hole.

“Enchantment,” by Orson Scott Card is an interesting take on the Baba Yaga tale.
