The head of the Russian Congress of the Peoples of the Caucasus, Ali Totorkulov, professor of the Lomonosov Moscow State University and member of the Supreme Council of the Russian Congress of the Peoples of the Caucasus, member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation Fatima Albakova and Phd in philology, professor and academician Zulay Hamidova have presented a project entitled "Caucasian Tales for Orphans." Collections of fairy tales of more than 20 Caucasian peoples will be gifted to children living in orphanages and boarding schools in different regions of Russia. The distribution of the gift edition is the first step of the Russian Congress of the Peoples of the Caucasus on a route to develop tolerance among the peoples of the multinational country. The collection of 120 fairy tales is divided into 24 sections based on national origins. There are Abkhaz, Circassian, Ingush, Karachai, Ossetian and other fairy tales in the 740 pages of the book. According to Ali Totorkulov the fairy tales bring people closer and give the idea of the worldview and culture of nations. Nowadays every child in the Caucasus knows the Russian fairy tales, but very few children in Russian families have heard the fairy tales of the Caucasus. Therefore, it is necessary to do something about it.
