metadata.value: This article describes works of Yakov Lensu — a researcher of religious beliefs and culture
  of the Finno-Ugric peoples which lived on the territory of the Leningrad Region in 1920s to
  1930s. He was one of the first Russian researchers, who described the syncretic religious beliefs
  and customs of the Ingrians Finnish ethnic subdivisions (Yevremeyans and Savakotes), as
  well as the Finno-Ugric peoples of Izhora and Vod. From the beginning of the 1920s Y. Lensu
  was actively working at the summer expeditions of the Commission for the Study of the Tribal
  Composition of the Population of the Borderlands of Russia (KIPS). Later he was working at
  the Institute for Studies of the Peoples of the USSR (IPIN), in which culture and the life of the
  USSR peoples were studying. The religious life map of USSR was also compiling there. Yakov
  Lensu was regularly participating the section of the study of religious beliefs of the peoples of
  the USSR, led by Nikolai Matorin. The section was functioning in the Museum of the History
  of Religion of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR for many years until N. Matorin was arrested.
  Y. Lensu was also engaged in different linguistic research. He was studying Izhora and
  Vod peoples’ dialects. In the appendix of this article the part of the manuscript of Y. Lensu’s
  research work “About Finnish people beliefs at the Leningrad’s environ” is published. Lensu
  described various mythological characters like a demons of natural loci and demons-assistants
  in this text. Among the demons-assistants an important place was occupied by Para: threelegged
  demonic creature, which helped housewives to increase milk quantity of cows. It was
  important because milk production was traditional for the Finnish people of Ingri. Texts of
  conspiracies from bleeding and from snake bites are also included in the manuscript.
