== Background==
The mythical creatures such as the Great Snake or the Mistress of the Copper Mountain were well known to Bazhov from the tales that were told by his own family members (Pavel Bazhov was born at the village near the Sysert Mining Plant) and by the old men at the plant. Those old people were experienced workers, who worked in the industry for all their lives, but were eventually exhausted by many years of hard work. They were sent to do light-duty work, such as guard the place, etc. They were the story-tellers who knew a lot of legends about the plants and the miners' lives.〔 From a very young age Bazhov used to write down the local folk tales.〔
Geographically, the folk tales came from the old The Sysert Mining District, which included five mining plants, i. e. Sysert (Sysertsky), the head plant of the district, Polevskoy (also known as Polevaya or Poleva), Seversky (Severna), Verkhny (Verkh-Sysertsky), and Ilyinsky (Nizhve-Sysertsky). The most famous copper mine of the Ural Mountains, the Gumeshevskiy mine or "Gumeshki", was located next to the Polevskoy plant. It was also called "The Copper Mountain" or simply "The Mountain".〔 Most folk tales were connected with this place.〔
