Russia has oral epic poems called "Bylina (Былина)". This folk song is a typical example of such a narrative, recounting tales of legendary heroes. Mussorgsky transcribed this song, which had been passed down through generations, and used it in the duet for the two monks, Misail and Varlaam, in Act 4 of his opera Boris Godunov.
