Why was Kikimora angry? Is everything upside down at home? So you angered the kikimora. How to fix everything is an educational journey into the history of the Russian hut. This is a very unusual work, based on serious ethnographic material. The author talks about the most ancient Russian and Slavic traditions associated with the house, the hut. It is amazing that this deep antiquity survived, went through materialism, and through Orthodoxy, and through the housing issue, which, as we know, spoiled us, and in the most amazing way managed to absorb the dreams and aspirations of the people along this path. A huge number of signs and customs that we still adhere to today are from thousands of years ago. The author tried to explain how they arose and why they survived. And everyone will decide for themselves whether to follow them or not, to pass them on or not. “A noticeable advantage of Kolpakova’s work is the interweaving of a bright plot with a voluminous cognitive, with a philosophical one into an inseparable whole. “The hut will not allow itself a single trifle - every little thing in it has a deep tradition, it remembers what it is for: nothing for bragging, for “just because.” Every detail here makes sense not only as a building element, but also as part of the Universe” (Tatyana Kornienko, writer, teacher, psychologist)
