Before the October Revolution, the Khanty were on the verge of extinction. Later, the USSR helps the Khanty to develop a culture. Also, the Khanty , like the Mansi , had verbal creativity. The most ancient layer of folklore is myths about the origin of the surrounding world, about totemic ancestors. The myths are dominated by Numi-tor (upper heaven, upper god), the youngest son of whom the world-susne-hum is subordinated to all forest spirits on earth. Later a heroic epic arose - songs, sagas, tales of armed clashes of clans and wars with other nationalities. An important role in folklore is played by animals. Socially sharpened tales are directed against Russian merchants, tsarist officials, priests and against their princes, fists, shamans. When they had written language, the publication of the first primers (in 1930 - Khanty), the emergence of the local press. Sprouts of this literature began to appear on the pages of various magazines, newspapers, etc.
