Dyatlov Pass incident Haram Hermon

Introduction: the character system of Mansi folklore has not yet come into the focus of scientists' attention. However, understanding of it opens new frontiers for study of mythological representations, culture, and worldview of the Northern ethnos. Characters of folklore are people, animals, elements, fantastic (mythical) creatures. Sometimes a character is fixed with some attribute (a wonderful thing), which helps him. In the article, we will focus on one character Menkw. In Mansi folklore it is presented as a forest giant, and its main function is to be the owner of the forest. Rich information about it is contained in fairy tales and bailichkas.Objective: a systematic analysis of the image of Menkw on the material of folklore texts and folk performances.Research materials: the texts of Mansi fairy tales published in various folklore collections, in periodicals; annalistic sources, as well as field material of the author. For details, we attract taboos occurring in Mansi culture.Results and novelty of the research: the research adds scientific knowledge about the folklore of the Mansi. The article reveals the image of Menkw on the materials of folklore, linguistics, literary and historical data. Thefolklore texts fix characteristics of Menkw and give its description. Anthropomorphism of the image, its tendency to socialization distinguishes the folklore image from the mythological one. Binarity of representation of Menkw in folklore texts is probably due to different time of plots’ development.The complex of taboos, ritual acts, system of amulets of the Mansi people defines the boundaries and a degree of interaction of the people and Menkw. The material opens up prospects for further research of the character and plot structure of Mansi folklore.

Menk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Mansi folklore, the Menk is a forest spirit of Khanty mythology.[1][2] The Mansi are an indigenous people living in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, Russia.[3]

Mythology
The menk is part of the Siberian oral tradition. These beliefs were retained by the Khanty and Mansi people, even though they became, or were compelled to become Russian Orthodox Christians in the 17th and 18th centuries. In the Khanty epics, the menk are presented as "formidable forest spirits". The Hero-Prince typically inflicts many "pseudo-deaths" on a menk until he is able to inflict a "total death". Menk are protected by gods who intervene to prevent their deaths, however the laws of the gods can be bypassed by humans. In the epics, menk occur in sevens, such as seven menk from one mother, or seven menk with one soul. According to the mythology, menk's eyes cannot look down, so the Hero-Princes often attack them from below while fighting in rivers. [1]

In Khanty mythology, local people of Por ancestry are aligned with menk, who they believe to be "just like humans, only spirits of the parellel forest world".[2]

Popular culture
According to skeptical investigator Benjamin Radford, a 2014 Discovery Channel program that suggested a menk was responsible for deaths in the Dyatlov Pass incident is "a textbook example of modern cable TV mystery-mongering".
