I saw post about Shchedrik and was hit by a terrible nostalgia. I remembered 1961 "Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka"/"The Night before Christmas" (Вечера на хуторе близ Диканьки) and their koliadka songs, and "Laughter and Grief by the White Sea" series (Смех и горе у Бела моря) which was based on the collection of Russian Pomor folklore: it has so many songs too, and very gentle on the local dialect and pronunciation. I remember how I adored these as a kid, as well as "The Malachite Box" (Малахитовая шкатулка) and series about Kutkh, a trickster deity native to Far East of Russia.
