According to legend, if the boulder is pushed and falls over the edge, it will wake Sleeping Sayan, and he will become a man again. For now, not a single traveler of the thousands who come here has had the strength to do it, and neither did the author of this article. Could it be that the stone man needs nothing but a kiss to wake him?

The Taimyr Peninsula in the Far North, a land of northern lights and sleighs drawn by reindeer, owes its existence to a bird. From one generation to the next, the locals have been passing on the story of how the world was created by a loon: When the loon woke up, the land and the mountains were already in place and inhabited by spirits — the lords of the sky and the earth. Unlike the tour guides of Tunguska Nature Reserve in Central Siberia, the Evenkis who live here say that there was no meteorite ; what happened was the appearance of Agdy, the god of thunder, a ferocious bird with wings of steel, who came to visit his wife, the water.

The bear had spent the entire winter sleeping in his den, but the spring brought the sun, and the den started to thaw.

A chipmunk jumped out from under the stump. Do you have any food to spare? The grateful bear stroked the tiny chipmunk with his clawed paw, and that is how chipmunks got black stripes on their backs. I opened the book at night, when the village had already fallen asleep, and imagined that the houses were grains of gold melted together that "the white man" tried to sift through on the banks of whitewater rivers as he tried to fathom an unknown culture. I kept staring into the ink-black sky above the Sayan Mountains, trying to make out the Tofalarian Peter Pan, an orphan from the moon. Well, either that or the DreamWorks Animation logo:.
5 tales of Siberia's indigenous peoples
A long time ago, in the time of fairy-tales and legends, a family of five lived in a chum. The head of the family adopted an orphaned boy. The boy started living in their chum. One evening, the wife sent the boy to fetch some water.
Grabbing a birch-bark bucket and a cauldron, he ran to the river. On the ice the boy met chil-baga, a werewolf witch, who captured him. Ever since, there has been an image of a human figure on the moon. He holds a birch-bark bucket in one hand, and a cauldron in the other. This is how people of the taiga attempted to explain the Universe:
