Souvenirs from the Russian Peninsula of Kamchatka are unique because they combine the traditions of Russian and the Northern indigenous peoples of this land. Ancient legends about Kutkh, Peliken and Anunu are the reason why the local artisans often depicted them in their sculptures.
Raven Kutkh is the embodiment of the spirit of the Raven traditional for the various indigenous peoples in the Far East of Russia, especially the Kamchatka and Chukotka Peninsulas. Kutkh appears in many legends as a key figure in the creation of the world (Creator of Earth), the progenitor of mankind in the image of a powerful shaman or trickster. Kutkh is a popular hero in the legends of the indigenous people of Chukotka and plays a central role in the mythology of original inhabitants of Kamchatka, the Koryaks and Itelmen. Many stories about Kutkh are similar to stories relating to Raven, which are common among the indigenous peoples of the Northwest coast of North America. This is probably due to the long history of cultural contacts between the peoples of Asia and North America.
