- Bruce Jackson recently presented the Botkin Lecture on the boundaries between photography and folklore as represented in photographs from Cummins Prison, where he did much fieldwork.
- This is only tangentially folk, but it is super cool! Video of song Kostroma by Ivan Kupala!
- The Huffpo passes along a fake book cover as a real Russian fairy tale book. I won't need to translate - the word 'caca' is universal!
