About Fedot the Archer, the Daring Young Fellow

In his playful interview, Leonid Filatov explained that in our writing country they even write on walls—and that’s why he wanted to be with everyone on equal terms. His works, including the fairy tale “About Fedot,” became popular with the people and are still quoted like proverbs. This fairy tale is a злa—evil, funny, and topical parody of the Russian soul, and it was brilliantly written by the poet Leonid Filatov and narrated by the actor Vladimir Kachan.
