Who is the Old-timbler

Our ancestors believed that everyone around is inhabited by spirits and every inanimate object is alive. Forest lands in their representation was in charge of Leshy, Lesovik or the Old-timbler. Most often this character was portrayed in the form of an elderly or mature man. The forest can not be seen in the forest until he himself so wishes. His outfit merges in color with the bark of the tree and green leaves. Modern people do not believe in the spirit of the forest, but this hero has come down to our days as a character of Russian folklore and children's fairy tales.
