Pavel Vasilievich Shejn was a major Russian and Belarusian ethnographer and folklorist of Jewish origin. A prolific collector of folklore himself, Shejn was equally notable for organizing and encouraging a vast network of amateur folklorists.

Pavel Chéïn is read about 3 times a day, in 6 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 24 August 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
