Spells recorded in 1962 by Moscow State University folklore expedition from Anas tasia Vishnyakova, a peasant woman from Kargopol, were not falsified by the folklorists, contrary to the claim of Alexey Korovashko, a researcher from Nizhny Novgorod. At the same time, about 40% of them do have a bookish origin and were taken from the works of Russian literature — most likely, by Vishnyakova herself.
