Hello again,

In the event that you have not read my other posts, please let me first explain why I am asking for assistance. At the request of my teenage daughter, I have been writing a fictional novel. I am almost finished with chapter 18 and each chapter is about 8,000-9,000 words long. The main male character is of Russian decent and I am in need of Russian points of view for character accuracy.

I am interested in knowing about your favorite Russian childhood lullabies and bedtime stories. If there is a link that you can post where I can listen to them or find them somewhere online that would be wonderful (In both English and Russian even better).

If the song or story is short enough that you can post it here, great - the English translation as well, that would be even more fantastic.

Please remember, that I do not speak Russian so if you want to ask me a question or make any comments, please… I beg of you do so in English.

I thank you in advance for your assistance with this project. My daughter (my avatar is a photo of her) has been reading all of your responses as well and finds them very interesting. Rockzmom.
