Russian Fairytale

This tale is called "Ivan Tsarevich and the Grey Wolf". It is a very traditional fairy tale. Ivan the terriblewas not a ver admirable charactor. His gains in most of the old fairy tales were through lying and trickery. Also, there is a bit of killing, which is also not any different than any other version of old fairy tales. The story is important, because it contains so many of the elements and characters which appear over and over again in Russian Fairy tales.
