Answer 1

I answered a similar but not identical question about a week ago.  Of course I got a best answer.  I was the only answerer and hope I am not this time.

I know they include Baba Yaga.

Most of these topics are dealt with in the wikipedia.  I was just looking at:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koschei_the...

I notice at the bottom of the page it links to this:

Of course the tale of Nightingale the Robber:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightingale...

Links to this:

http://www.sacred-texts.com/neu/sfs/sfs4...

In fact, that one is from this book:

I would say more focused searching for specific characters would help.  I would also say there are thousands of people out there who want the Wikipedia to present their heritage and culture in the most positive light they can get from it.  So that means you can get introductory material on specific legends there and usually links to one or more other accounts.  Written by people who love these tales.
