Russian Fairy Tales: A Choice Collection of Muscovite Folk-lore by William Ralston Shedden Ralston
Read it for work research. It's covering the most common fairy tales from Russian Folklore and gives extra explanations on similarities between these stories and ones from other cultures. It feels a bit westernized compared to reading the other translations but for extracting themes and common tropes it's good.
